Since the beginning of this century, we have been observing increasingly rapid diffusion among Enterobacteriaceae of extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs), mostly of the CTX type and mostly in Escherichia coli [1]. This phenomenon has run out of control within just 10 years, and the outbreak is now internationally identified as being, in particular, a source of community-acquired infections. I...

The worldwide emergence of NDM-1 positive, multiresistant Enterobacteriacae have created a major global health problem. The NDM-1 can catalyze the hydrolysis of a various antibiotics including the latest generation carbapenems, which are often referred as the last line of antibiotics active against multiresistant gram-negative pathogens. Also there are few antiobiotics in pipeline active agains...

The aim of this study was to determine prevalence undesirable bacteria and their antimicrobial profile in samples obtained from a productive farm situated border region Slanske vrchy (Slovakia), involved keeping sheep goats for the purpose processing raw milk special products (cheeses). Genus species identification carried out by PCR method MALDI -TOF MS. Isolates thus identified were detected ...

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections(CA-UTIs) or health care associated UTIs are most common inhospitals, and in long term-care facilities(LTCFs)Up to 25% of patients in the hospitals have a catheter inserted at some time during their stay. Long term catheterization and catheter insertion outside operating room, lack of systemic antimicrobial therapy, female sex, old age, diabetes, elev...

Intrahospital variations in antimicrobial profiles may be related to many factors. This study compared causative agents of nosocomial bloodstream infections between a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that adopted a ward-tailored antibiotic policy and adult intensive care units (ICUs). Data on organisms from blood cultures obtained from the respective wards between 2005 and 2009 were analyzed...
