Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleColistin Resistance among Gram Negative Organisms; an Evolving Problem from Tertiary Care Hospital, Pakistan 2014Tuba Bashir, Altaf AhmedThis Study was design to report the evolving Colistin Resistant Gram Negative Organisms from Pakistan in 2014. From 885 isolates of hospitalized patients, 03 Colistin resistant isolates were reported, 02 were Escherichia coli and 01 was Acinetobacter specie. Colistin of all three isolates was tested by Disk diffusion method, MIC by Phoenix 100 (BD) and E-strip. This report contributes a … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2016 · 14,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro and in Silico Evaluation of Bioactive Compounds from Usnea longissima Ach. as Antimicrobial AgentsOky Kusuma Atni, Erman Munir, Nursahara Pasaribu et al.Lichens, formed from symbiotic association between of fungi with phototrophic organisms, generate a variety of bioactive chemicals having medicinal potential. This research aimed to examine the antibacterial characteristics of Usnea longissima Ach. using both in vitro and in silico methodologies. The effectiveness of lichen methanol extracts against different diseases was evaluated using the disc diffusion technique. Pathogens included gram-positive, gram-negative, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 10 Feb 2026 · 1,721 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequency of Carbapenem Resistance among Gram Negative Pathogens in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Southern PakistanWaseela Ashraf, Altaf AhmedCarbapenems are considered the treatment of choice for treating the multi-drug resistance Gram negative bacteria. But resistance to these antibiotics has increased worldwide thus limiting therapeutic options for clinicians. To investigate the frequency and Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of carbapenem resistance in Gram negative organisms at a tertiary care hospital in Southern Pakistan. Seven Hundred and ninety-three carbapenem resistant isolates … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 29 Oct 2015 · 7,573 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 · 7,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRapid Real Time PCR Based Detection of Cell Count in Case of Urinary Tract InfectionPoulomi Nandy, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriMicrobial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods currently used in clinical microbiology laboratories require at least two to three days because they rely on the growth and isolation of micro-organisms. This long, but necessary, delay has enormous consequences on prophylactic usage of antimicrobial drugs. This study was an attempt to reduce this detection time span. Taq Man Real Time PCR … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2013 · 8,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNosocomial Acinetobacter Infections in Intensive Care UnitNwadike V. Ugochukwu, Fayemiwo S. Adetona, Fowotade Adeola et al.Acinetobacter plays an important role in the infection of patients admitted to hospitals. Acinetobacter are free living gram-negative coccobacilli that emerge as significant nosocomial pathogens in the hospital setting and are responsible for intermittent outbreaks in the Intensive Care Unit. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Acinetobacter in patients admitted into the Intensive Care Unit … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 8 Jun 2013 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpidemiology of Intensive Care Unit Infections and Impact of Infectious Disease Consultants in Managing Resistant InfectionsK. P. Ravi, Suresh Durairajan, Sankalp Parivar et al.Choice of empiric antibiotics in India have generally been guided by western data and guidelines. However, validity and applicability of western guidelines in the Indian setting is not known. The aim of our study was to explore microbial prevalence and resistance patterns in a tertiary care Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in India and to determine whether western guidelines are still … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 28 Apr 2013 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSusceptibility and Detection of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Enzymes from Otitis Media PathogensEjikeugwu Chika, Iroha Ifeanyichukwu, Adikwu Michael, Esimone CharlesOtitis media is the bacterial infection of the middle ear usually accompanied with inflammation, effusions and pain. It can present clinically in two major forms: Acute Otitis Media (AOM) and Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and it is one of the leading cause of hospital visits and antibiotic prescriptions amongst children and even adults. Antibiotic resistance is a global public … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 7,970 accessesView PDFCite
