Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Mutations in Drug Resistant Clinical Isolates from Southwest MexicoMartínez-Cruz Perla Mónica, Nakamura-López Yuko, Quintero-Hernández Verónica et al.Mutations in target genes have been described in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBc) drug resistant isolates worldwide. In Mexico, not enough information has been reported in this concern. The aim of this study was to characterize mutations related to resistance to first line drugs in MTBc isolates from Oaxaca, Mexico. MTBc isolates were identified in clinical samples from Tuberculosis (TB) patients. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIn vitro and In vivo Anti-Microbial Effects of Nigella sativa Linn. Seed Extracts Against Clinical Isolates from Skin Wound InfectionsMariam A. Abu-Al-BasalcProblem statement: The developing microbial resistance to the existing anti-microbial agents has become a real challenge and a serious problem facing patients suffering from skin infections. Seeds of Nigella sativa have been used for a long time in folk medicine for the treatment of such infections. Production of new potent agents is urgently needed, especially for hospitals and health centers. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 8,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMolecular Analysis of Coagulase Gene Polymorphism in Clinical Isolates of Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Based GenotypingM. Himabindu, D. Sugapriya Muthamilselvan, Dillip Kumar Bishi, Rama S. VermaProblem statement: To investigate coagulase gene variants through Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) amongst clinical isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) collected from Chennai based hospitals. Approach: A total of 85 MRSA clinical isolates collected from various clinical sources were studied for the molecular typing purpose. To perform coagulase gene typing, the repeated units encoding hypervariable regions of the Staphylococcus … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntibiotic Resistance of Community and Hospital Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Clinical SpecimensAza Bahadeen Taha, Sabria M. Said Al-SalihiProblem statement: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for an increasing number of serious hospital and community acquired infections. Increased emergence in MRSA resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem. Approach: The resistance of MRSA to 20 antibiotics agents were studied. Also comparison of antibiotics resistance of community and hospital acquired MRSA were performed. Meanwhile the profile of antibiotics resistance … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExtended-Spectrum β-Lactamases Producing Escherichia coli Strains Monitored Over 4 Years in The University Hospital in Košice, SlovakiaViera Lovayová, Lucia Vargová, Mária Nagyová et al.The beta-lactamases with extended spectrum of activity (ESBL) are medically one of the most important group of enzymes. The presented study provides identification and determination of the spectrum of resistance against different and clinically used antimicrobial drugs in the clinical isolates of Escherichia coli. These isolates had their origin in different departments of the University Hospital L. Pasteur in Košice. … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2016 · 14,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInhibition of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Toxin Induced Neutrophil Cell Lysis by Vancoplus in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus InfectionsManu Chaudhary, Santosh Kumar Patnaik, Anurag PayasiPantone Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a cytotoxin associated with virulence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This study was undertaken to analyze the prevalence of PVL among MRSA strains and to study the effect of adjuvants (L-lysine, L-arginine, Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) as well as drugs on PVL induced neutrophil cell lysis. Further, in vitro activity of Vancoplus, vancomycin, linezolid, teicoplanin … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2014 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEMERGING 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 keywordsSYNERGY 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
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntimicrobial Resistance Pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Different Clinical Specimens: Survey ArticleHosniyeh E. Ladadweh, Hiba H. Falana, Jannat M. Ma’ali et al.Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.A.) is a gram-negative, aerobic rod bacterium that mainly grows in soil and watery environments, infrequently being a part of microflora in healthy individuals. Since P.A. favors the growth in moistened areas, it can colonize in any simple aqueous solution, which in turn raises the risk of contamination and infection in hospital settings. The emergence of drug resistant … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2021 · 8,396 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Azithromycin Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in the Setting of Trachoma Mass Drug Administration: A Systematic ReviewNazia Khan, Barbara Lachana Onen, Robin Hilder, Robin BaileyTrachoma is a blinding eye disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The current global elimination of trachoma initiative includes the use of mass drug distribution of azithromycin in areas where the prevalence of follicular trachoma is >10% in children aged 1-9 years. This study aims to investigate the high quality evidence of whether mass drug administration for trachoma causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2020 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
