*Corresponding Address: [email protected] The study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of subclinical mastitis (SCM) in dairy cows in the Bhaktapur District of Nepal. A total of 200 milk samples were collected from 50 dairy cows. The California mastitis test (CMT) was carried out on quarter milk samples to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis. California Mastitis Test (CMT)...

In a prospective, randomized trial, norfloxacin (400 mg perorally, twice a day) was compared with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (160-800 mg perorally, twice a day) in 45 patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Escherichia coli was the most common isolate. Infections due to Enterobacter spp., Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas spp., and Staphylococcus spp. were also treated. Norfloxaci...

Diare merupakan penyakit umum menyerang salah satunya dapat disebabkan oleh menggunakan 48 sampel berupa swab rektal diare berasal daerah Denpasar sekitarnya. Sampel diisolasi pada media Eosin Methylene Blue Agar, MacConkey Blood Agar dengan metode streak lalu d...

Netilmicin, a semisynthetic derivative of sisomicin, was tested in vitro against 600 clinical bacterial isolates. At a concentration of 1.56 mug/ml, over 90% of gram-negative bacilli were inhibited. Netilmicin was substantially more active against isolates of Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter spp. than gentamicin, sisomicin, tobramycin, or amikacin. Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (both pe...

Estima-se que 15% de todas as mortes associadas à hospitalização estejam diretamente relacionadas a pneumonias hospitalares. O SENTRY é um estudo de vigilância de resistência a antimicrobianos envolvendo centros médicos em todo o mundo. Objetivo: Avaliar a sensibilidade a antimicrob...

Mezlocillin is a new semisynthetic penicillin that inhibited 71% of the isolates of Serratia marcescens, 67% of Escherichia coli, 50% of Enterobacter spp., and 49% of Klebsiella spp. at a concentration of 12.5 mug/ml. It is also active against both indole-positive and -negative Proteus spp. and gram-positive cocci, except penicillin G-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. At a concentration of 100 m...

We characterized a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacter spp. isolate highlighting the genetic aspects of antimicrobial resistance genes. An (Ec61) was recovered in 2014 from transtracheal aspirate sample patient admitted to Brazilian tertiary hospital and submitted further microbiological genomic characterization.

Resistance to broad spectrum β lactams, mediated by extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESβL) and AmpC βL enzymes is fast spreading in Nigerian hospitals. Production of these enzymes has resulted in treatment failure especially if one of the second or third generation cephalosporins is used. A study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of each enzyme and coproduction of the two enzymes amon...

Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen capable of causing disease and even fatalities in newborn infants within the first weeks of life if consumed as part of the diet. Premature and immunocompromised newborn infants are at particular risk. The microorganism has been isolated from a variety of foods including contaminated infant milk formula powder and ...
