Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Escherichia coli Isolates from Commercial Layer Hens with SalpingitisMahmood Salehi, Reza GhanbarpourProblem statement: Escherichia coli isolates are the most common bacterial agents of salpingitis in commercial layer hens. The objectives of this study were to determine the phylogenetic groups/subgroups and antibiotic resistance of E. coli isolates from salpingitis cases in commercial layer hens farms in southeast of Iran. Approach: One hundred twenty one E. coli isolates from oviducts of layer hens … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,955 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractExogenous Pyocyanin Alters Pseudomonas aeruginosa Susceptibility to CiprofloxacinGary D. Grant, Tian Tian Zhang, Lee S. Gloyne et al.This in vitro cell-based study identified the contributing role of pyocyanin in the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin. Problem statement: P. aeruginosa is the major pathogen in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung with pyocyanin being a critical component of its virulence. Prevalence is high and, once acquired, chronic infection is difficult to eliminate. Ciprofloxacin remains a crucial oral agent … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence and Antibiotics Susceptibility of Uropathogens in Patients from a Rural Environment, TamilnaduMaripandi Arjunan, Ali A. Al-Salamah, M. AmuthanProblem statement: Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in human, rural environment cause significant morbidity due to insanitary condition, lack of knowledge of personal hygiene, lack of patient’s compliance and economic burden. In our study, the bacterial etiologies and the resistance patterns found in human with serious UTIs and selecting optimal antimicrobial therapy. Approach: A total of 105 patients first morning mid … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractGenetic Capability of Young Layers for Survival after Salmonella entritidis ChallengeE. S. Soliman, H. Busby, C. Kilpatrick et al.Problem statement: Genetic line differences in resistance of layer hens and young chicks to Salmonella entritidis have been identified through a lot of studies. That is why the agricultural industry was prepared for the potential phasing out of antibiotics for use in controlling bacterial pathogens. Early infection may result in long term colonization of layers with Salmonella entritidis, resulting in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Morphological, Biochemical and Biological Studies of Halophilic Streptomyces sp. Isolated from Saltpan EnvironmentDeepika T. Lakshmipathy, Krishnan KannabiranProblem statement: Dermatophytes have developed resistance to the existing antifungal antibiotics. As a part of our continuous search we had isolated, identified and characterized actinomycetes from the halophilic environment having antagonistic activity against the dermatophytes namely Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from the soil sample collected from the Ennore saltpan region, Chennai, India and screened for antidermatophytic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,743 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 abstractIsolation and Characterization of Potential Probiotic Escherichia coli Strains from Rat Faecal SamplesPrasant Kumar, S. Ferzin, S. Chintan, G. Naresh KumarProblem statement: Gastrointestinal disorders mainly diarrhea is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among infants and children in the developing countries occurs due to infection by enteropathogens. Ccontrol of these pathogens could be achieved by nonpathogenic Escherichia coli producing bacteriocins. Approach: Primary aim of this study was to isolate E. coli strains which inhibit enteropathogens. For this purpose, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,419 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
