Objective(s) The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of PER-1-type ESBLs in drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Materials and Methods During one-year period (2008-2009), following isolation and identification of 56 P. aeruginosa, the E-test method was performed for determination of minimal inhibitory concentration of ceftazidim. The isolates that they had MIC≥16 µg/ml ...

BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The emergence and dissemination of metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) has contributed to the high rate of resistance among P. aeruginosa isolates. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence and the clonal dissemination of MBL- producing P. aeruginosa isolates collected fr...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates have been increasingly identified worldwide. Though molecular data regarding New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) producers are available, data regarding their rate of infection in a hospital setting and percentage among different clinical isolates are scarce. Hence, this study was undertaken to determine the occu...

abstract background: pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common gram negative bacteria involved in nosocomial infections. presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) genes, play an important role in induction of resistance in beta-lactamase producing species to beta lactam antibiotics. frequency of resistance to these antibiotics is increasing. in this study, antibiotic sensitiv...

BACKGROUND Metallo-β-lactamase-production among Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has become a challenge for treatment of infections due to these resistant bacteria. OBJECTIVES The aim of the current study was to evaluate the metallo-β-lactamase-production and carriage of bla-VIM genes among carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolated from burn wound infections. PATI...

AIM During 2010-2011, six Providencia spp. (five Providencia stuartii and one Providencia rettgeri) urine isolates with unusual resistance phenotype were collected from various hospital units at the University Hospital Split in Croatia. The aim of the study was to analyze the mechanisms of resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. METHODS The antimicrobial susceptibility to a wide range...

Objective To identify the usefulness of both the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition (Bayley-III) and Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST-II) in preterm babies with neurodevelopmental impairment, considering the detection rate as regulation of criteria. Methods Retrospective medical chart reviews which included the Bayley-III and DDST-II, were conducted for 6...
