Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEMERGING METRONIDAZOLE RESISTANCE IN ANAEROBES AND MAPPING THEIR SUSCEPTIBILITY BEHAVIOURManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiIn the present study, anaerobic clinical isolates of Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica were obtained from different clinical specimens and were subjected to molecular typing to detect the gene encoding metronidazole resistance in these isolates. Subsequently, antibacterial activity of drugs was tested against the selected clinical isolates. A total of 53 clinical isolates involving 18 obligate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2014 · 9,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractISOLATION AND DETECTION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI FROM PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM PEPTIC ULCER USING BIOCHEMICAL TESTS AND MOLECULAR TECHNIQUESRuba S. Abu-Sbeih, Azmi D. Hawari, Dhia S. Hassawi, Hala I. Al-DaghistaniHelicobacter pylori is the causative agent of most cases of gastritis. There is no established gold standard for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. A reliable diagnosis is crucial to confirm that eradication therapy has been successful. Eighty gastric biopsy and blood samples were obtained from fasting Jordanian patients with Esophago-Gastro-Doudenoscopy (EGD). Several diagnosis tests for H. pylori infections were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2014 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCING ASPHALT RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR AND AGING SUSCEPTIBILITY USING BIO-CHAR AND NANO-CLAYRenaldo C. Walters, Elham H. Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of UV rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in deterioration of asphalt rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This study investigates the impact of bio-char and nano-clay of asphalt rheological properties. Two nano scale materials were used for this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2014 · 10,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSYNERGY OF A NOVEL ANTIBIOTIC ADJUVANT ENTITY AGAINST MULTI DRUG RESISTANT ENTEROBACTERIACEAEManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiIn the present investigation, we investigated the in vitro interaction of ceftriaxone plus sulbactam with disodium edetate, a Non Antibiotic Adjuvant (NAA) against selected clinical isolates and in vitro susceptibility studies were also performed. The isolates were tested against a range of ratios of ceftriaxone and sulbactam using a microdilution checkerboard method. Having determined the appropriate ratios of ceftriaxone plus … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 1 Nov 2013 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiMultidrug resistant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections and is on the rise. The aim of this investigation was to explore the prevalence of MRSA and heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Staphylococcus Aureus (hGISA) in various clinical samples, to investigate the various antibiotic resistant determinant genes among these strains collected from north and west … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStaphylococcus aureus Nasal Carriage Among Injecting and Non-Injecting Drug Users and Antimicrobial SusceptibilityMojtaba Varshochi, Zahra Attari, Alka Hasani, Ali SeidiStaphylococcus Aureus (SA) is one of the most prevalent bacterial pathogens in human beings. Approximately 20% of healthy persons are persistent carriers and 60% are intermittent carriers of SA. Nasal cavity is one of the most important sites of its colonization. Intravenous (IV) drug abuse has been proposed as a risk factor for colonization of SA in the nasal mucosa. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 23 May 2013 · 7,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropharmacological Assessment of an Aqueous Bark Extract of Antiaris toxicaria (Pers.) Lesch. (Moraceae) in RodentsPriscilla K. Mante, Donatus W. Adongo, Kennedy K.E. Kukuia et al.Antiaris toxicaria is a plant traditionally used in Ghana for the treatment of various neurological conditions such as epilepsy and pain. This present study therefore seeks to screen for the neuropharmacological activities of the aqueous extract of Antiaris toxicaria (AAE) stem bark. The effect of Antiaris extract on pentobarbital-induced sleeping time, tail immersion test, spontaneous locomotor activity, motor coordination, PTZ-induced … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2012 · 7,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Drug-Resistant Strains of Streptococcus Pneumoniae in AbakalikiIroha Ifeanyichukwu Romanus, Okafor Florence Njideka, Nwakaeze Emmanuel Amobi et al.Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of illness such as pneumonia, meningitis, bacteremia and otitis media in children and the elderly. The emergence of drug-resistant strains threatens to complicate the management of these diseases. We conducted a hospital-based surveillance for drug-resistant Strep. Pneumoniae in outpatients with pneumococcal infection in Abakaliki Ebonyi State Nigeria. Between 2003-2005 from January through December, a … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Nov 2012 · 7,677 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
