Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Compounds from Bacillus: Why are they so Amazing?Patrick FickersThe constant increase of multi-drug resistant pathogens stimulates research, more than ever, to identify and develop new antibacterial compounds. The recent advances in genome sequencing have highlighted the genus Bacillus as an unexpected source of antibiotic-like compounds. This review focus on the different class of antimicrobial molecules produce by Bacillus genus such as polyketides, nonribosomal peptide, bacteriocins as well as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2012 · 9,684 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility Pattern of M.Tuberculosis Isolated from Patients Attending a Private HospitalD. Sureshkumar, Ram GopalakrishnanProblem statement: Drug resistance in Tuberculosis (TB) is an emerging problem that adversely affects patient outcome and public health in the developing world. Although much of tuberculosis care is provided by the private sector in India, the magnitude of drug resistance in TB in the private sector is not well described. The present study was carried out to determine the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2011 · 7,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage amongst Healthcare Workers of the Critical Care Units in a Nigerian HospitalA. Fadeyi, B.O. Bolaji, O.O. Oyedepo et al.Problem statement: Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Nosocomial Infection (NI) outbreaks and prevalence among various populations are well reported in literature particularly for developed countries. NI due to MRSA is a known cause of increased hospital stay, cost, morbidity and mortality especially among the critically ill. There is paucity of information on MRSA in developing nations including the carriage by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,100 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Resistance of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Poultry and Poultry Environment of BangladeshMuhammad Ali Akond, S.M.R. Hassan, Saidul Alam, Momena ShirinProblem statement: Increased emergence in microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem in Bangladesh, a tropical country with a large agrarian population having limited medical facilities. Wide spread use of antimicrobials in poultry farming here is a concern of multi-drug microbial resistance development that can potentially be transmitted to human pathogens even from non-pathogenic carrier strains. Attempt was made … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 11,762 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of a 4th Generation-Cephalosporin Introduction upon the Incidence of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Non-Teaching HospitalGuilherme Henrique Campos Furtado, Luciana Baria Perdiz, Eduardo Alexandrino Servolo MedeirosProblem statement: Antimicrobial resistance is a worrisome situation in hospitals around the world and the misuse of certain classes of antimicrobials has contributed for this situation. Approach: We performed a prospective surveillance study on the incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria before (phase 1) and after (phase 2) the introduction of a 4th-generation cephalosporin in a non-teaching hospital. Results: There was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,876 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAntimicrobial Resistance Pattern and Characteristics of Integrons in Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated from Aquatic Retail Products in Zhejiang Province, ChinaTing Yu, Han Jiang, Hui Cheng et al.The aquatic retail products are among the potential reservoirs of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms. The main objective of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and integrons and their associated Gene Cassettes (GCs) of Escherichia coli isolates from aquatic retail products. E. coli isolates were obtained from 450 aquatic retail products samples at different markets in Zhejiang Province, China. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2020 · 6,103 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAntimicrobial Resistance of Campylobacter spp. and Arcobacter butzleri from Pets in MalaysiaMohammed Dauda Goni, Abdinasir Yusuf Osman, Saleha Abdul Aziz et al.The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in pets is not well understood and methods of surveillance are only beginning to be established in a few countries. The consequence of antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter and Arcobacter butzleri to public health is due to the propensity of the bacteria to swiftly acquire and disseminate resistance gene. Thus, making way for the emergence of new … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 29 Nov 2018 · 7,690 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDiatrizoate, Iopromide and Iotrolan Enhanced Cytotoxicity of Daunorubicin in Multidrug Resistant K562/adr Cells: Impaired the Mitochondrial and Inhibited the P-Glycoprotein FunctionNitaya Snitwongse Na Ayudhya, Samlee MankhetkornMultidrug resistance was an obstacle in cancer chemotherapy because the cells decreased their intracellular drug accumulation by energy-dependent compounds efflux pumps such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp). This study observed some iodinated radiographic contrast media, diatrizoate, iopromide and iotrolan affected the cellular energetic state and the kinetics of P-gp in drug-sensitive K562 and drug resistant K562/adr cell lines using spectrophotometer and spectrofluorometer. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,161 accessesView PDF Cite
