Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility and Molecular Epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated in a Burn UnitHassan Salimi, Parviz Owlia, Bagher Yakhchali, Abdolaziz Rastegar LariProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that still develops life-threatening infections in patients with immunological system defects, like burn patients, especially in developing countries. Since this bacterium is naturally resistant to many drugs and is able to get resistance to all effective antibiotics, the infection with this organism is particularly problematic condition for patients. This study was design … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Clonal Clusters of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from Chennai by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Genotyping and Antibiotic Resistance Phenotyping AnalysisC. Kamatchi, H. Magesh, Uma Sekhar, Rama VaidyanathanProblem statement: An increased resistance to antibiotics has been reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae, an opportunistic gram negative pathogen belonging to Entrobacteraceae due to the evolution and spread of plasmid encoded extended spectrum beta lactamases and other genes conferring cross-resistance to other antibiotics. This is of concern due to the increasing cost of antibiotic treatment and the spread of multidrug resistance … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResistance to Third-Generation Cephalosporins and Other Antibiotics by Enterobacteriaceae in Western NigeriaA. O. Okesola, O. MakanjuolaProblem statement: The emergence and spread of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins are threatening to create species resistant to all currently available agents. The most common cause of bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is the production of beta-lactamases and many of the 2nd and 3rd-generation penicillins and cephalosporins were specifically designed to resist the hydrolytic action of major β-lactamases. However new … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,012 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) in Clinical SettingsM.A. Shorman, A.M. Atoom, N.M. Abuharfeil, A.M. Al-MajaliTo evaluate different methods for the identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci and their reliability, 112 Staphylococcal isolates (32 Staphylococcus aureus isolates and 80 coagulase negative Staphylococci isolates "CoNS") were collected from 118 nasal swab cultures and were subjected to three methods to detect oxacillin susceptibility of the isolates. The three methods were oxacillin disk diffusion method; the Epsilometer- test (E-test) and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of Pasteurella Multocida Infections over a Twelve-Year Period in a Tertiary Care HospitalAthanasia Christidou, Sofia Maraki, Zoe Gitti, Yiannis TselentisThe aim of this study was to present the epidemiological, clinical and microbiological data, as well as the management and the outcome of 13 patients with documented Pasteurella multocida infections, diagnosed in the University hospital of Crete, Greece, between 1993 and 2004. Most patients (62%) were >70 years of age. Respiratory tract infections were most commonly encountered (61.5%), followed by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from TurkeyBerrin Gencer, Thomas M. ShinnickTo survey the circulating strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Turkey, all clinical isolates (381 patients) recovered in laboratories in six cities during one-month periods were collected and typed by IS6110-DNA fingerprinting and spoligotyping. Drug susceptibilities were also determined. About 23% of the isolates were resistant to one or more drugs and about 4% were multidrug resistant (i.e., resistant to at … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Vaccine-Derived Mutants of Avian Metapneumoviruses Isolated from Turkeys in EgyptAbdel-Satar Arafa, Wessam Mady, Ahmed Hussein et al.Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) causes acute respiratory infection in turkeys with sudden onset and rapid spread in the infected flocks. Vaccinated flocks frequently showed clinical signs typical like the non-vaccinated flocks in Egypt, this situation suggests a virulent vaccine virus was circulating in the field. Oropharyngeal and nasal sinus swabs were collected from 100 turkeys from 10 commercial farms with mild … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Aug 2015 · 12,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens of Canine OtitisRicardo Antonio Pilegi Sfaciotte, Jéssica Taina Bordin, Vanessa Kelly Capoia Vignoto et al.Otitis is one of the most frequent infections in dogs. This is attributed to the misuse of drugs enabling generation of multi-resistant micro-organisms. The emergence of multiresistant bacterial strains in veterinary medicine is a reality that must be studied and evaluated by the professionals. The objective of this study was to isolate and evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial pathogens … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Jul 2015 · 7,413 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREVALENCE OF MASTITIS PATHOGENS AND THEIR RESISTANCE AGAINST ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS IN AWASSI SHEEP IN AL-BALQA PROVINCE OF JORDANAzmi D. Hawari, Maher Obeidat, Saddam Sh. Awaisheh et al.The primary objective of this study was to establish data on mastitis in Awassi Sheep in Al-Balqa Province of Jordan. Milk samples were collected from 260 lactating ewes that selected randomly from eight flocks. California Mastitis Test (CMT) gave result with 220 milk samples; 122 samples (55.5%) showed positive CMT. Infection with some bacterial species was associated with positive CMT. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 3 May 2014 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBovine Viral Diarrhea-an Emerging Disease in Camelids a ReviewU. WerneryBovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is an emerging disease in both New World Camelids (NWCs) and Old World Camelids (OWCs). The virus has been isolated from NWCs particularly in alpacas and dromedaries, but there are no reports of BVD in Bactrians. BVD is an important infectious disease. Both sub-genotypes 1a, 1b and genotype 2 have been isolated from NWCs but the … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Aug 2012 · 12,853 accessesView PDFCite
