A bacterium with the highest metal resistance was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the bacterial genome was screened for any possible metal resistant genes using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The bioremoval ability of the isolate was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2021 · 6,443 accessesView PDF Cite

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).
