Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of foodborne pathogens is public health concern, especially in developing countries such as Zambia. This study was undertaken to determine the antimicrobial profiles Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella isolated from retail broiler chicken carcasses purchased open markets supermarkets A total 189 E. five isolates were isolated. Identification confirmation don...

Background: This study was conducted to know, understand and document the current bacterial isolates their antimicrobial susceptibility profile in our tertiary healthcare facility. Aim isolate, identify profiles of from patients with burn wound infections admitted care hospital.Methods: Wound swabs ICU wards were collected on day 1, 3, 5 10. Samples processed using standard microbiologic proced...

The genus Acinetobacter currently contains 34 species, the vast majority of which are not regularly implicated in causing infection. However, Carbapenems have long been thought as agents choice for serious baumannii infections. objective this study is to determine Antibiotics susceptibility profile spp Isolated from clinical specimen University Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin. descriptive cros...

BACKGROUND Whereas street vended foods are readily available sources of meals for many people across the world, the microbial safety of such food is always uncertain. In developing countries the major sources of food-borne illnesses are street vended foods. The aim of this study was thus to assess the prevalence and antibiogram of bacteria from white lupin in Bahir Dar Town. METHODS A total o...

OBJECTIVES Septicaemia (blood poisoning) is one of the chief sources global morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients presents with multidrug extensive drug resistance. This study aims to detect major causative agents, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns associated factors bacteraemia among patients.METHODOLOGY retrospective cross-sectional was done at National Medical Center, Karachi mic...

Increasing trend of antibiotic resistance and expression of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBLs) are serious threats for public health as they render the treatment ineffective. Present study was designed to elucidate the antibiotic-susceptibility patterns of ESBL and non-ESBL producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae causing urinary tract infections so that the ineffective antibiotics could be r...

baumannii isolate also being resistant to carbapenems. This resistance was likely acquired in vivo under imipenem treatment, but the susceptible strain was not available for strain comparison. This is also the first description of a PER-1 A. baumannii isolate from Russia, a country from which little epidemiologic data on antimicrobial drug resistance are available, except for the emergence of E...

BACKGROUND Wound infections continue to be problematic in clinical practice where empiric treatment of infections is routine. OBJECTIVES A retrospective cross-sectional study to determine the current causative organisms of wound infections and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns in the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH), Okolobiri, Bayelsa State of Nigeria. METHODS Record...

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is among the most common problem for patients who undergo operative procedures. It remains a common and widespread problem contributing to morbidity and mortality; partly attributed to increase in infections due to antimicrobial resistant bacterial pathogens. In Tanzania there has been limited data regarding the magnitude of SSIs due to antimicrobial re...
