Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVancomycin Mic Creep Among Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: A ReportDorairajan Sureshkumar, Ram Gopalakrishnan, Abdulghafur, Venkatsubramanian RamasubramainainThe objective of the study was to analyze the vancomycin MIC distribution against bloodstream MRSA isolates for a period of 1 year in India. This retrospective study analyzed 71 blood stream MRSA strains isolated at a tertiary care hospital in India between January 2008 and December 2008. The vancomycin MIC was determined by broth microdilution method. Only one isolate per … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF PLANT EXTRACTS FROM SEVERAL REGIONS OF ASIAAwatif Al-Judaibi, Ashwag Al-Zahrani, Khadijah A. Altammar et al.This study was designed to investigate the antibacterial activities of alcohol extracts of Phoenix dactylifera (date palm ’type Ajwa’), Nigella sativa (black cumin), Elettaria cardamomum (cardamom), Tinospora crispa (Akar patawali) and Panax ginseng (ginseng). The plant extracts were prepared with methanol and assayed for antibacterial activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and S. aureus. Extracts of N. sativa, E. cardamomum … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 2 Apr 2014 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntibacterial Activity of Marine Source Extracts Against Multidrug Resistance OrganismsNagi A. AL-Haj, Nurmas I. Mashan, Mariana N. Shamsudin et al.Problem statement: Antimicrobial resistance is the major problem of global dimensions with a significant impact on morbidity, mortality and healthcare-associated costs. The problem has recently been worsened by the steady increase in multiresistant strains and by the restriction of antibiotic discovery and development programs. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonads and Escherichia coli are a major nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens for which … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMolecular Analysis of Coagulase Gene Polymorphism in Clinical Isolates of Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Based GenotypingM. Himabindu, D. Sugapriya Muthamilselvan, Dillip Kumar Bishi, Rama S. VermaProblem statement: To investigate coagulase gene variants through Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) amongst clinical isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) collected from Chennai based hospitals. Approach: A total of 85 MRSA clinical isolates collected from various clinical sources were studied for the molecular typing purpose. To perform coagulase gene typing, the repeated units encoding hypervariable regions of the Staphylococcus … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,766 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
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultidrug Resistant Microorganisms (MDR) and Biofilm Producers: A Challenge for Hospital Infectious ControlDaniel Lucio, Elizabeth Proaño, Alberto Bustillos et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) now represents a major threat to contemporary health care, especially in hospitals, where repeated antimicrobial exposure selects for and facilitates the dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) microorganisms. Biofilm growth adds another layer of persistence by increasing microbial tolerance, supporting long-term colonization of medical devices, and worsening clinical and economic outcomes. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on MDR biofilm-forming … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2026 · 774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Multiplex PCR Panel on Reducing Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use in Ventilator-Associated PneumoniaMaría Inés Staneloni, Emilio F. Huaier Arriazu et al.The extended use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials contribute to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal strategy aiming at reducing the duration of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Conducted in a single Intensive Care Unit (ICU), this quasi-experimental, retrospective study compares a pre-intervention period (08/01/2018-07/01/2019) with an intervention period (08/01/2022-07/01/2023).
