BACKGROUND: Essential TB care in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) comprises 21 standards for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of that constitute Union Standards Tuberculosis Care (ESTC). METHODS: In 2017, we conducted an audit on management infection control measures against ESTC standards. reference centres five EU/EEA countries were purposely selected to represent heterog...

187 commercial checken flocks affected with respiratory diseases were examined for ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolation. the bacterium was isolated from 105 (56.2%) poultry flocks. drug sensitivity test using standard disk diffusion technique was performed with 19 antibiotics. all the isolates were susceptible to tiamulin and most of them were susceptible to chloramphenicol and linco-spect...

background: blood stream infection is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of aerobic and anaerobic-bacteremia in hospital inpatients with cancer and to determine the antibiotic resistance profile in isolated organisms in kerman, southeast iran.   methods: total of 240 blood cultures from 136 patients...

background: transmission of mycobacterium tuberculosis ( m. tuberculosis ) can occur in different ways. furthermore, drug resistant in m. tuberculosis family is a major problem that creates obstacles in treatment and control of tuberculosis (tb) in the world. one of the most prevalent families of m. tuberculosis is haarlem, and it is associated with drug resistant. our objectives of this study ...

During 2003-2009, the National Tuberculosis (TB) Laboratory Network in Argentina gave 830 patients a new diagnosis of multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB and 53 a diagnosis of extensively drug- resistant (XDR) TB. HIV co-infection was involved in nearly one third of these cases. Strain genotyping showed that 7 major clusters gathered 56% of patients within restricted geographic areas. The 3 largest cl...

In the recent years, issues related to drug-resistant bacteria have evolved worldwide, and various countermeasures been taken control their spread. Among a wide variety of bacterial species, carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb), are those for which particularly important. Carbapenems last resort antibiotics any infection;...

Abstract Logistic regression and neural networks have developed rapidly in recent years, the poor diet of people modern society has led to emergence various diseases which drug-resistant bacterial infections occur during treatment, so this paper proposes logistic analyze risk factors preventive control multi-drug-resistant infections. A model was established determine magnitude effect each fact...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains that are resistant to an elevating number of second-line medicines used treat multidrug-resistant becoming a threat public health worldwide. Recent guidelines recommended at least 20 months treatment, but recent regimens toxic, poorly tolerated and insufficiently effective, with cure rates as low 36% failure high 50%. The emergence can be defined isoniazid rif...

Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem of major importance. Isolations in some countries of multi-drug-resistant (resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobials), extensively-drug-resistant (resistant to all but one or two classes) or even pan-drugresistant (resistant to all available classes) Gram-negative pathogens are causing therapeu‐ tic problems andin the same timeare posing i...

We investigate a two-strain disease model with amplification to simulate the prevalence of drug-susceptible (s) and drug-resistant (m) strains. Drug resistance first emerges when strains mutate become drug-resistant, possibly as consequence inadequate treatment, i.e. amplification. In this case, are coupled. perform dynamical analysis resulting system find that contains three equilibrium points...
