Introduction: In Ecuador, the diversity of Aeromonas species and their resistance profiles to antibiotics in most aquatic ecosystems are unknown. Objective: To know genus present mineralmedicinal water spa “Santagua de Chachimbiro” Cuicocha crater volcanic lake. Methodology: Water samples from lake Cuicocha, located province Imbabura-Ecuador, were analyzed. The isolation was carried out by deep...

Sir, Colonization/infection with Helicobacter pylori is contracted during childhood, persists lifelong and causes chronic gastritis, which may be complicated by peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (‘MALT’) lymphoma. Failed H. pylori eradication therapy or antimicrobial therapy due to unrelated infections are the main risk factors for the development of resi...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The prevalence of ampicillin-resistant Moraxella catarrhalis has been higher in Taiwan than in other countries, with reports of 97.7% in the 1990s. The aims of this study were to assess resistance trends for M. catarrhalis, which causes respiratory tract infections, against several classes of oral antibiotics and to compare the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antimi...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication rates achieved with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), amoxicillin and clarithromycin have recently decreased to about 75% because of the increase in clarithromycin resistance in Japan. In the present study, H. pylori resistance rates against clarithromycin, amoxicillin and metronidazole were investigated in pediatric patients and eradication rates were e...

Aim To investigate the efficacy and safety of home-treatment with oral piv-mecillinam or amoxicillin-clavulanate in children acute pyelonephritis. Methods Children aged over 6 months diagnosed culture confirmed pyelonephritis at Danish Paediatric Departments were home-treated (tablets) (liquid tablets). Follow-up was performed by phone (second treatment day) clinical review patients hospital (d...

shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) can cause a broad spectrum of human illness . the progressive progressive increase in antibiotic resistance among enteric pathogens in developing countries is becoming a critical area of concern. the aim of current study was to determine bacterial resistance pattern of a group of diarrheagenic e. coli to some important antibiotics. the research meth...

Helicobacter pylori infection is a prevalent disease among Iranian children. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of ciprofloxacin and furazolidone on eradicating helicobacter pylori in Iranian children in combination with amoxicillin and omeprazole. In this cohort study, helicobacter pylori infection was confirmed by gastroscopy, rapid urease test or pathologic assessments. A to...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolates were identified as a cause of traveler's diarrhea in 82 of 520 (16%) patients and tested for resistance to seven antimicrobial agents. Thirty patients (36%) needed antimicrobial therapy: 17 (56%) for persistence of symptoms and 13 (44%) for severity of symptoms. Ampicillin, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance was high. Chloramphen...

BACKGROUND Escherichia coli infections are frequent in ICU patients. The increased resistance to fluoroquinolones and amoxicillin/clavulanate of this pathogen mandates the prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP-TAZ) or third generation cephalosporins (3GC). METHODS To assess incidence and impact on clinical outcome of infections with PIP-TAZ resistant ...
