Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Azithromycin Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in the Setting of Trachoma Mass Drug Administration: A Systematic ReviewNazia Khan, Barbara Lachana Onen, Robin Hilder, Robin BaileyTrachoma is a blinding eye disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The current global elimination of trachoma initiative includes the use of mass drug distribution of azithromycin in areas where the prevalence of follicular trachoma is >10% in children aged 1-9 years. This study aims to investigate the high quality evidence of whether mass drug administration for trachoma causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2020 · 7,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhylogenetic of ERIC-DNA Fingerprinting and New Sequencing of Aeromonas Species and V. Cholerae DNAHawraa Natiq Kabroot AL-Fatlawy, Hawraa Abdalameer Aldahhan, Ali Hmood AlsaadiThe current study included 44 isolate of A. hydrophila, A. sobria and V. cholerae and other bacteria isolated from stool samples and environmental samples (Kufa river water and hospital environmental samples). ERIC DNA Fingerprinting with ERIC primers pairs generated distinct amplification bands ranging in size from (87 bp to 8000 kb). The 44 isolates produced 93 different patterns by ERIC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 5 May 2017 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence and Antibiotic Sensitivity test of Salmonella Serovars from Enteric Fever Suspected Patients Visiting Alka Hospital, LalitpurKalpana Pandey, Vijay K. Sharma, Roshani MaharjanEnteric fever is still an important public health problem in developing countries including Nepal. A changing antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A has increased to a great concern. To determine the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of S. enteric serovars Typhi and Paratyphi from blood specimen in enteric fever suspected culture positive cases. A cross-sectional study … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Oct 2015 · 7,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequency of Carbapenem Resistance among Gram Negative Pathogens in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Southern PakistanWaseela Ashraf, Altaf AhmedCarbapenems are considered the treatment of choice for treating the multi-drug resistance Gram negative bacteria. But resistance to these antibiotics has increased worldwide thus limiting therapeutic options for clinicians. To investigate the frequency and Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of carbapenem resistance in Gram negative organisms at a tertiary care hospital in Southern Pakistan. Seven Hundred and ninety-three carbapenem resistant isolates … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 29 Oct 2015 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStaphylococcus aureus Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile in Anyigba, North-Central NigeriaCharles Kehinde Mofolorunsho, Monday Ocheni, Cornelius Arome Omatola, Ashem Godwin AgieniInfections with Staphylococcus aureus, a versatile human pathogen have continued to raise concerns particularly in hospital setting resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. For proper and adequate infection control and treatment in our environment, it has become necessary to determine the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity profile of the organism. A total of 100 clinical specimens were collected from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 29 Oct 2015 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenotypic ESBL Detection in Acinetobacter baumannii: A Real ChallengeGeetanjali M. Litake, Vikram S. Ghole, Krishna B. Niphadkar, Suresh G. JoshiClinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends two-step approach for extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) detection which includes the screening of recommended agents and the phenotypic confirmation of ESBL using a combination of screening agent and β-lactamase inhibitor. To investigate this approach, we screened 145 β-lactamase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii isolates for ESBL from tracheal secretions using double disk synergy test (DDST) and phenotypic confirmatory disc … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Oct 2015 · 7,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening 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 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Different Drugs in Down-Regulation of Efflux Pump Genes expression in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus StrainsManu Chaudhary, Santosh Kumar Patnaik, Anurag PayasiAntimicrobial resistance caused by efflux systems is not widely studied in Staphylococcus aureus. In the present study, prevalence of NorA and NorB efflux pumps was studied in thirteen Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains using a pair of primers with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Antibiotic susceptibility study in NorA and NorB efflux positive isolates was carried out according to the Clinical … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,454 accessesView PDFCite
