We conducted a randomized controlled trial of a public health and education screening program aimed at all 4,797 four to five year old children registering for kindergarten in three school districts of southern Ontario, Canada. Children received either the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) with a community health intervention program for positive screeness; the DDST with no interventio...

conclusions beside our study, the detection of mbl genes were reported in a few studies conducted in iran. the spread of detected mbls producing p. aeruginosa were unprecedented in the region due to the lack of independent related researches or the novel incidence of these genes. this detection must be noted by associated clinical and health care services. results from 240 p. aeruginosa isolate...

Submitted 11 Jan 2017; Accepted 6 Feb 2017; Published 13 Feb 2017 Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteria has become a considerable global concern because of their potential dissemination in humans, in domestic animals, wildlife and the environment. The present study aimed to explore the ESBL producing enterobacteria in aquatic sources of Bangladesh as the water may be the...

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL) and their antibiotic resistance patterns from clinical isolates in a university hospital. A total of One hundred and seventy-two isolates of Gram-negative were identified using Standard Laboratory Methods from various clinical specimens. Antibiotics susceptibility test was performed using disc diffusio...

Antibiotic resistance among uropathogens causing community acquired urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is increasing worldwide. Severity and endemicity persists despite of wide spread availability of drugs. Knowledge of the aetiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens is important in order to determine the best empiric treatment option. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL...

The increase in the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a well known but not sufficiently addressed problem with data-dependent superimposed training (DDST) based approaches for channel estimation and synchronization in digital communication links. In this article, we concentrate on the PAPR analysis with DDST and on the spectral regrowth with a nonlinear amplifier. In addition, a novel Gauss...

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are rapidly evolving group of β-lactamase enzymes produced by the Gram negative bacteria. In this study, we determined the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of Escherichia coli isolates and prevalence of TEM, SHV and CTX-M genes in ESBL positive E. coli isolated from the patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital in North-East India. A total of 85 multi...

From June to September 2012, 500 urine samples were recovered from patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) due to Gramnegative bacilli (>10 leukocytes/ml and >10 Gram-negative isolates/ml) who visited the University hospital Bicêtre (France). They were challenged with extended-spectrum-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) using the rapid diagnostic ESBL NDP test. Results ...

conclusions considering the high prevalence of esbl genes (bla ctx-m, 87%; and bla tem, 82%), fluoroquinolones may be used as an alternative drug in treatment, although resistance to this family is increasing as well. as a result, this increasing trend should be prevented using appropriate guidelines for prescription. background escherichia coli is the most important as well as the most common ...

Routine detection of AmpC beta lactamases in Escherichia coli is cumbersome. This study was performed to determine the usefulness of a modified disc diffusion test to detect AmpC beta lactamases in E.coli. 28 non-repetitive, cefoxitin resistant isolates of E.coli were collected from cases of urinary tract infections and screened phenotypically for ESBLs and AmpC beta lactamase using DDST (cefta...
