Extended Spectrum â-lactamase (ESBL) producing multidrug resistant bacteria complicate therapeutic management and limit treatment options. Therefore, detection of ESBL-producing multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens has a paramount importance. Between April 2009 and January 2010, a prospective study was carried out in National Public Health Laboratory with an objective to determine the status of ...

susceptibility test were performed on Mueller-Hinton agar with 5% horse blood according to NCCLS recommendations with the following discs: cefuroxime (30/jg), ceftizoxime (30 fig), cefpodoxime (30 /ig), cefixime (30 fig), cefaclor (30 ug) and loracarbef (10 and 30/ig). Agar and discs were from Sanofi Diagnostic Pasteur (Marnes-la-Coquette, France) except loracarbef prepared from standard refere...

Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae include several human pathogens that can be acquired through contaminated food and water. In this study, the incidence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacteria was investigated in fresh seafood sold in retail markets. The ESBL-positive phenotype was detected in 169 (78.60%) isolates, with Escherichia coli being the predominant spe...

Extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBL) are a major source of concern. ESBL have been recorded around the world. Globally, number people infected with Enterobacteriaceae that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamase is on rise. It has rise in resistance to ß-lactam antibiotics among them. In this study, objective was collect Escherichia coli isolates from Urinary tract infection patients using se...

Abstract Infection of the urinary tract ranks as one most common infections affecting people worldwide and its treatment is made complicated by rising incidence antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to detect extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes resistance profile uropathogenic Escherichia coli ( E. ) recovered from patients attending a University Teaching hospital in Nigeria. Uropat...

The inappropriate use of antibiotics contributes to the development resistant bacteria and has a significant influence on treatment failure. increasing rapid spread ABR (Antibiotic Resistance) become big issue through worldwide during past few decades. main objective is identify most prescribing in clinical practice. To evaluate pattern for different microbial infection. It prospective observat...

Nowadays resistance to antibiotics of β-lactam groups is expanding rapidly and one the latest challenges faced by scientific community due therapeutic failure. In present study total 180 milk samples were collected from two district Gangetic Plain Zone Uttar Pradesh (India). Total 65 (36.11%) isolates confirmed comprising 44 (24.4%) E. coli 21 (11.67%) Klebsiella spp. PCR analysis using uidA ge...

Introduction: Chronic tonsillitis is the most common disease for Otolaryngologists. Effective treatment of depends on knowledge infecting organisms. Controversy regarding based throat culture report still persists. There always a dilemma whether antibiotics prescribed are sufficient different organisms surface and core tonsils. If determinant bacteriology core, then rational therapy could be ai...
