Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePHENOTYPING, VIRULENCE CHARACTERISTICS OF AEROMONAS SPECIES AND THE EFFECTS OF ESSENTIAL PLANT OILS AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS AGAINST PATHOGENIC ISOLATES FROM DIFFERENT SOURCESAhmed M.A. Mansour, Hoda M. Zaki, Nibal A. Hassan, Nihad A.M. El-NasharAeromonas species are increasingly recognized as enteric pathogens. Faecal samples from 20 cow, 45 sheep; 60 goat and 60 camels were examined for the presence of Aeromonas species, which was also sought in the available drinking water (55 well water and 52 drinking chlorinated tap water were also examined). Aeromonas species was isolated more frequently from goats (21.7%) than from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2014 · 8,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification and Characterization of Antibiotic-Producing Actinomycetes IsolatesMeera Kumari, Bat-Erdene Myagmarjav, Birendra Prasad, Madhusudan ChoudharyActinomycetes are a gram-positive, filamentous subgroup of bacteria most known for antibiotic production. In fact, most of the antibiotics available today have originated from actinomycetes, namely from the genus Streptomyces. Novel bacteria with antimicrobial activities have been discovered from bacterial screen studies for decades and there is still much more yet to be unearthed. One hundred seventy five strains of … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2013 · 15,437 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme on Carbapenem Resistance in Gram Negative Isolates in an Indian Tertiary Care HospitalNamita Jaggi, Pushpa Sissodia, Lalit SharmaProblem statement: Increasing Antimicrobial resistance in the World is constantly becoming a Global threat and there is an urgent need to prevent its spread. Various studies of last decade have shown reduced trends of antimicrobial resistance in the pathogens as an outcome of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs. In view of this, the present four years’ study was carried out to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 2 Oct 2012 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBACTERIAL ISOLATES OF MARINE COAST AS COMMERCIAL PRODUCER OF PROTEASES. Das, I. Mukherjee, M. Sudarshan et al.The objective of this work was to explore and exploit the extracellular protease secreting marine microbial biodiversity of the eastern coastal region of India. Culture dependent method was applied for isolation of microbes from the marine coast of West Bengal (Digha and Mandarmani) and Andhra Pradesh (Vizag) in India. Six protease secreting isolates were screened using casein hydrolysing property as … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 8 Aug 2012 · 8,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Blood Isolates of Acinetobacter Species in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Retrospective AnalysisP. S. Shareek, D. Sureshkumar, Ramgopalakrishnan et al.Problem statement: Multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter bacterium is one of the major causes of sepsis in ICUs in tertiary care hospitals in India. In this report we describe the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of Acinetobacter species isolated from blood over a one year period at a tertiary care hospital. Approach: We retrospectively analyzed the sensitivity pattern of Acinetobacter species isolated from blood … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2012 · 8,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntibiotic Resistance of Community and Hospital Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Clinical SpecimensAza Bahadeen Taha, Sabria M. Said Al-SalihiProblem statement: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for an increasing number of serious hospital and community acquired infections. Increased emergence in MRSA resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem. Approach: The resistance of MRSA to 20 antibiotics agents were studied. Also comparison of antibiotics resistance of community and hospital acquired MRSA were performed. Meanwhile the profile of antibiotics resistance … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntimicrobial Pattern and Clonal Dissemination of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Spp IsolatesSobhan Ghafourian, Nourkhoda Sadeghifard, Zamberi bin Sekawi et al.Problem statement: Gram-negative pathogens harboring ESBLs have caused numerous outbreaks of infections and are becoming an increasing therapeutic problem in many countries. The incidence of ESBL-producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years resulting in limitations of therapeutic option. The focus of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp, investigate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn Vitro Activity of Cephalexin against Community-Acquired Urinary Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Proteus species IsolatesHumodi A. Saeed, Amira Saad Eldin MohammedProblem statement: Resistance among urinary tract pathogens to conventional antibiotics has been considered a health problem worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of cephalexin on urinary enterobacterial isolates. Approach: Patients with community-acquired urinary tract infections were microbiologically investigated. Urine specimens were collected from each patient. The specimens were cultured on bacteriological media. The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,182 accessesView PDFCite
