OBJECTIVES To study the impact of infant walker use on motor development and injuries. POPULATION One hundred and eighty five parents or primary care givers who attended a Singapore government polyclinic from September 1993 to February 1994, with their infants between 7 to 10 months, for a developmental assessment session. SETTING A government polyclinic in Singapore. METHODS The parent o...

 Place Duration Study: Department Microbiology (Laboratory Unit) Michael Okpara University Agriculture Umudike.
 Methodology: snacks were mashed aseptically, serially diluted inoculated onto nutrient agar MacConkey agar. Isolates identified using st...

AIM To determine the predictive value of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) concentrations on the outcome of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) in full term infants. METHODS Thirty term infants with HIE were included in the study. HIE was classified according to the criteria of Sarnat and Sarnat. Blood and CSF w...

Objective(s): Resistance to carbapenems as the last line for controlling resistant bacteria is increasing due to production of carbapenemase. The aim of this study was to detect the plasmid-encoded carbapenemases using phenotypic methods and multiplex PCR among the multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) in northern Iran.<br...

&#x0D; Escherichia coli bacteria that are resistant to β-lactam antibiotics and may be able produce Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) have been found in the reproductive tract of Bali cattle. ESBL will cause antimicrobial resistance (AMR) which has become a global health problem. The purpose this study was detect phenotypically presence produces from This research conducted February 2022 La...

ISSN 2330-4456 Abstract Objectives: Neonatal sepsis with extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL) producing microorganisms is recognized increasingly in recent years. ESBL can be produced by various bacterial strains. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of ESBL producing pathogens in neonatal sepsis and its impact on clinical outcome. Materials and Methods: A study was carried ou...

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to determine the frequency and antimicrobial profile of ESBL-producing isolates of E. coli in different environments. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at The Children's Hospital and The Institute of Child Health, Lahore from July to December 2015. The faecal specimens from healthy individuals, patients, sewage sludge, cattle, chickens and raw ...

Salmonellosis and shigellosis are significant and persistent causes of diarrheal diseases among humans in developing countries. With that in mind, the current study investigates the occurrence of plasmid-encoded multidrug resistances in Salmonella and Shigella from diarrheal cases among humans. The isolates were characterized by serotyping, antimicrobial-susceptibility testing, transfer experim...
