Antibiogram typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with selected antibiotics was evaluated as a primary epidemiological typing tool and compared with ribotyping. Antibiograms were derived with the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method by using erythromycin, clindamycin, cotrimoxazole, gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin. For typing, antibiogram data were analyzed by similarity analysis of ...

Despite the enormous volume of antibiotics prescribed by pediatricians, resources to promote judicious antibiotic use are primarily limited to hospitals. The primary objective of this survey was to delineate the availability, characteristics, and perceptions of antibiograms among pediatricians. As a secondary objective, we sought to delineate the availability of other infectious diseases (ID)-r...

background and objective: implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. this study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...

background and aims. enterococci are among resistant microorganisms to antibiotics and are responsible for some of acute gingival infections. this study aimed at molecular evaluation of gentamicin-resistant enterococcus species and determining the resistance genes. materials and methods. clinical samples were cultured on bhi medium and enterococci were isolated by specific methods and antibiogr...

The antibiogram of pigmented 08 and nonpigmented Bizio strains of Serratia marcescens was determined. Their lipid content was also analyzed.

Antibiotic resistance is an emerging issue that requires a track on antimicrobial pattern in institution to prescribe appropriate empirical therapy. Antibiogram that's aggregate of susceptibility profile within provides better understanding and prophylactic use antimicrobials. It also focuses M39 guidelines published by Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute for developing accurate reliable dat...

background: antibiotics prescribed in the presumptuous treatment of infections may be ineffective if causative pathogens acquire resistance to prescribed antibiotics. in the absence of patient follow ups for treatment outcome assessments, healthcare providers may be unaware of the effectiveness of antibiotic treatments they provide. in the empiric treatment of infections particularly, such situ...
