Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial 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 · 10,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Susceptibility and Immunomodulatory Potential of Chosen Bacterial PathogensM. Sujatha, P. Dhasarathan, B. KarthickProblem statement: Antibiotic susceptibility is still the best way for bacterial pathogen escape mechanism against immunity. Approach: In the present investigation, bacterial pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were used to screen antibiotic susceptibility and immunomodulatory potential. Results: All the test pathogens were sensitive to all the test antibiotics 11±2 mm) except penicillin. The … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Flavomycin on Ruminal Fermentation, In Situ Degradability and In Vivo Digestibility in Bovine Fed Sugarcane DietsS.M. Mogentale, E.J.A. Silva, P.M. Meyer et al.Problem statement: The aim of the present study was to characterize and differentiate the effects of addition of flavomycin or monensin on ruminal fermentation and degradability as well as on total digestibility in bovine. Approach: Twelve non-pregnant and non-lactating cows (736 kg of BW) were randomly assigned to three treatments: control, flavomycin (20 mg animal-1 day-1) and monensin (300 mg … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Aqueous Extract of Aegle marmelos Fruit on Adherence and β-Lactam Resistance of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli by Down Regulating Outer Membrane Protein CSubramaniya Bharathi Raja, Malliga Raman Murali, G. K. Malathi et al.Problem statement: Enteropathogenic Escherichia Coli (EPEC) continue to be a major health problem, leading to death due to diarrhea, predominantly in children below the age of five. Due to evolution of multi drug resistance in EPEC and side effects caused to host by antibiotics necessitated a search for alternative medicines from medicinal plants. One such medicinal plant used since ancient … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of the Chi-square Test to Determine Significance of Cumulative Antibiogram DataRocco J. Perla, James CarifioAn important function of a hospital’s Infectious Disease and Pharmacy programs is to review and compare the most recent antibiogram with that of the previous year to determine if significant changes in antibiotic susceptibility results are noted and to communicate this information and its consequences to the medical staff. However, there are currently no formal analytical (decision-making) models in use … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Antibiotic Resistances of Vibrio Isolates from Coastal and Brackish Water AreasS. Manjusha, G. B. Sarita, K. K. Elyas, M. ChandrasekaranAn experiment was designed to assess the occurrence of multiple antibiotic resistances in Vibrio spp. from different (brackish and marine) environments. Water samples from nine marine landing sites and two coastal inland aquaculture farms were screened for the Vibrio spp. and assessed their resistance to twenty-two different antibiotics, which are commonly encountered in the aquatic ecosystem. Tissue samples (shrimp, mussel … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTetracycline Resistance Profile in Darwin Finches in the Galapagos IslandsMaría Inés Baquero, Marylin Cruz, Viviana Duque et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), which is the ability of microorganisms to withstand attack by antimicrobial drugs, has a worldwide impact. Thus, it is important to identify resistance mechanisms circulating in the environment. Among antimicrobials widely used in human and veterinary health, tetracycline is ideal due to its safety and has been categorized by the WHO as a critically important antimicrobial. Based … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2022 · 5,794 accessesView PDFCite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification and Management Implications of Fusobacterium Nucleatum PylephlebitisShoja Rahimian, Maria Labra, Ian Garrahy et al.Suppurativethrombophlebitis of the portal vein, or pylephlebitis, is a rare infectious manifestation. Only few casesresulting from Fusobacterium species have been reported, demonstratingthe disease that is in some ways analogous to Lemierre’s syndrome, orsuppurative thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. Of these, Fusobacteriumnucleatum represents an important subtype with unique colon cancer risk.With high mortality rates up to 32% being described in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 26 Sep 2022 · 5,694 accessesView PDFCite
