Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrevalence and Determinants of Antibiotic Use by the Elderly in Marrakech, MoroccoNaima Aoutil, Mohamed Cherkaoui, Mohamed BouskraouiAntibiotics are essential for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections; however, their inappropriate use among elderly populations poses serious risks, including the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms. Antimicrobial resistance has become a critical global public health challenge, with irrational antibiotic use being one of its primary drivers. In Morocco, data on antibiotic use among older adults remain scarce, particularly regarding … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2026 · 1,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSuspension of Certain Dental Procedures Due to COVID-19: A Source of Over-Prescription?Gowri Sivaramakrishnan, Fatema Al Sulaiti, Muneera Alsobaiei, Kannan SridharanDentists have always been attributed to the ever rising global problem of antibiotic resistance. The recent pandemic due to COVID-19 has caused greater concern and primary dental care practices temporarily suspended all aerosol generating and invasive procedures in the Ministry of Health in Bahrain, between February to August 2020. Dental emergencies were addressed using a triage system and low exposure … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 10 Jun 2021 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDominant Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria in Five Biggest Hospitals in Asir Region from March to June 2018Mohammed AlmaghrabiThere is a rapid increase in the emergence of multidrug resistance which consider as one of the public health threats in all over the world. MDR was defined as acquired non-susceptibility to at least one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories. The present study aims to determine the dominant multi-drug resistant bacteria in the five biggest hospitals in Asir … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2021 · 6,782 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResistance in Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Pig Faecal Samples and Pig farm Workers, GreeceGeorge Valiakos, Alexandros Vontas, Constantina N. Tsokana et al.In this study, we compare the degree of antibiotic resistance between the E. coli strains isolated from swine faecal and farm workers. Resistance in nine widely used antibiotics was assessed by the determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration. Sixty-four out of 72 E. coli isolates derived from pigs and sixty out of 72 derived from farm workers showed resistance to at … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2016 · 7,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsScreening of Multi-Drug and Metal Resistant Aeromonas Species from Diverse SourcesRamasamy Amsaveni, Muthusamy Sureshkumar, Joseph Reshma Mary et al.The abuse of antibiotics in the modern era, lead the microorganisms to develop resistance. Antibiotic resistance becomes the part of natural selection in bacteria which allows them to survive in different environments. Bacteria like Aeromonas are able to adapt to changes in the environment such as an increase in antibiotic concentration, which often results in the development of mutations allowing … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSusceptibility and Detection of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Enzymes from Otitis Media PathogensEjikeugwu Chika, Iroha Ifeanyichukwu, Adikwu Michael, Esimone CharlesOtitis media is the bacterial infection of the middle ear usually accompanied with inflammation, effusions and pain. It can present clinically in two major forms: Acute Otitis Media (AOM) and Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and it is one of the leading cause of hospital visits and antibiotic prescriptions amongst children and even adults. Antibiotic resistance is a global public … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 7,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Study of Antibacterial Susceptibility Patterns of the Bacteria Isolated from Patients' Blood Samples over Two PeriodsAziz Japoni, Mehdi Kalani, Abdolvahab Alborzi et al.Problem statement: Due to continuous changes in the frequencies and antibacterial susceptibility patterns of nosocomial pathogens, periodical surveillance of these fluctuations could help the clinicians to treat hospitalized patients more efficiently whenever empirical therapies need to be considered. This study was conducted to compare the prevalence of the bacteria recovered from bloodstream samples by Bactec 9240, over the two periods … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2011 · 8,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of the Utility of MPT64, Drug Susceptibility Testing and Tuberculosis/Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Efficiency Compared with Traditional CultureHo Keun Choi, Ga Yeon Kim, Tae Soung Kim, Jae Kyung KimDefining the molecular mechanisms underlying the dormant state of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is essential for developing more effective treatments for tuberculosis (TB) infection. We investigated the positivity and resistance rates of TB tests on 6,174 samples referred to a single hospital. Of these, 342 cases (5.5%) were confirmed as positive by acid-fast bacilli staining, 243 cases (71.1%) were detected as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2024 · 4,206 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResistance to Antibacterial Agents in Escherichia coli Isolated from Domestic Cats and Dogs in the Northern Region of the Republic of KazakhstanAnara Yeleussizova, Yuliya Aleshina, Anara Mendybayeva et al.The widespread use of antimicrobial agents for pets in veterinary practice has led to the emergence and spread of drug resistance not only in pathogenic but also in opportunistic bacteria. The study aims to evaluate the profile of resistance to antibacterial agents in Escherichia coli strains isolated from domestic cats and dogs, as well as to look into the determinants … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2023 · 5,525 accessesView PDFCite
