Foot odour is caused by combination of sweat and bacteria. Smelly feet can lead to lack confidence discomfort. In this study, conducted on 21 probands isolate the microbes with following criteria: male, aged 18-25 years, wore shoes for 8 hours without taking them off, moist, smelly feet. Isolating from using a cotton swab. The result study found 7 isolates. Several bacteria isolates, namely: St...

Background. The role of Aeromonas species (sp.) in bacteremia in Japanese patients with liver cirrhosis is poorly understood. Aim. To establish the importance of Aeromonas sp. as a cause of bacteremia in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods. Clinical and serological features and short-term prognosis were retrospectively investigated and compared in Japanese patients with bacteremia due to Aer...

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae encountered in countries of the Arabian Peninsula usually produce OXA-48-like and New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamases (NDM) carbapenemases. However, a temporary increase in VIM-4-producing, clonally unrelated Enterobacteriaceae strains was described earlier in a Kuwaiti hospital. We investigated the genetic support of blaVIM-4 in six Klebsiella pneumoniae s...

This study reports the isolation of myxobacteria from soil collected from plains in north India. Based on the morphology and 16S rDNA sequence, the isolated myxobacteria were identified as Corallococcus sp., Pyxidicoccus sp., Myxococcus sp., Cystobacter sp. and Archangium sp. The myxobacteria were functionally characterized to assess their ability to produce antibacterial and anticancer metabol...

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease and one of the most feared complications is diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) resulting in amputation and gangrene arising from the action of pathogenic bacteria. This study investigated the efficacy of essential oil extracts of Curcuma longa (turmeric) and Syzygium aromaticum (clove) on bacteria implicated in DFUs. Essential oils extracted from Curcuma longa ...

The pulmonary collectins, surfactant proteins A (SP-A) and D (SP-D), have been reported to bind lipopolysaccharide (LPS), opsonize microorganisms, and enhance the clearance of lung pathogens. In this study, we examined the effect of SP-A and SP-D on the growth and viability of Gram-negative bacteria. The pulmonary clearance of Escherichia coli K12 was reduced in SP-A-null mice and was increased...

Introduction: Enterobacter can be included in the group of extended spectrum β-lactamases (EBSL)-producing bacteria, though few studies exist evaluating risk factors associated with this microorganism. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to determine risk factors associated with ESBL-producing-Enterobacter and mortality. Methods: A retrospective cohort study with 58 bacteremia caused by ...
