Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHealthcare Associated Infections in Intensive Care Units HIV Positive PatientsLisandra Serra Damasceno, Evelyne Santana Girao, Rafael Fonseca de Queiroz et al.Problem statement: Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) are frequent and important complications, most commonly affecting hospitalized patients in intensive care units. Hospital average length of stay is usually 5-10 days higher in these patients. In HIV positive/Aids patients HAI vary from 8,7 and 15% in prevalence. The aims of this study was to compare HAI data from HIV positive (HIV+) and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntimicrobial Pattern and Clonal Dissemination of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Spp IsolatesSobhan Ghafourian, Nourkhoda Sadeghifard, Zamberi bin Sekawi et al.Problem statement: Gram-negative pathogens harboring ESBLs have caused numerous outbreaks of infections and are becoming an increasing therapeutic problem in many countries. The incidence of ESBL-producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years resulting in limitations of therapeutic option. The focus of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp, investigate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Urinary Tract Infections and Associated Risk Factors Among Patients Attending Medical City Hospital in Baghdad City, IraqFadhl A.S. Al-Gasha’a, Shayma M. Al-Baker, Jamil M. Obiad, Fadhil A. AlrobiaiUrinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infection in humans and a major cause of morbidity and they are the most common cause of hospital visits worldwide. Proper knowledge in identifying factors associated with urinary tract infection may allow the intervention to easily control of the disease in a timely manner. Therefore, the purpose of the study is … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2020 · 8,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Banding Pattern Based Identification of Urinary Tract Infection Causing BacteriaPoulomi Nandy, Md Aftabuddin, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriUrinary Tract Infection (UTI) affects all age groups, but women are more susceptible than men. These infections are typically caused by E coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus fecalis and so on. Since uncultivable microbes are numerically abundant in urine samples, culture independent detection seems to be the method of choice for diagnosing UTI. This study … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,099 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 abstractUrinary Tract Infection-A Survey of Local PopulationShaon Ray Chaudhuri, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Poulomi Nandy, Santanu SamantaUrinary Tract Infection, commonly known as UTI, affects as many as 50% women at least once during their lifetime. All individuals are susceptible to Urinary Tract Infection (UTI); however the prevalence of infection differs with age, sex and certain predisposing factors. With the above background in mind we conducted a survey of the local population (women of 3 age groups) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bacterial Strains Isolated Through Microbial Profiling of Urine SamplesPoulomi Nandy, A. R. Thakur, S. Ray ChaudhuriThe present study was conducted to determine the microbial profile in urine samples. Differential and selective chromogenic culture media were used for the rapid detection, identification and enumeration of urinary tract pathogens namely, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis. Urine samples of normal healthy individuals as well as patients with Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRapid 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 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite

Gram negative pathogens that elaborate beta-lactamases have been reported to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, especially amongst immunocompromised patients on intensive care and high-dependency units. The most common mechanism of β-lactam drug resistance in Escherichia coli include ESBL, AmpC production. Approach: In … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,837 accessesView PDFCite
