Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase 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
Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAntimicrobial 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Surface Microhardness and Antimicrobial Activity of Conventional and Bioactive Composite Materials for Dental RestorationsBruno Fongaro Dalbosco, Rafael da Silva Vanolli, Poliana Maria de Faveri Cardoso et al.This study evaluated the fluoride release capability, antimicrobial activity, and surface microhardness of bioactive composite resins, critical properties for the effectiveness and durability of dental materials in restorative procedures. Conventional and bioactive composite resins with varying viscosities were tested. Specimens of each resin type were prepared and stored in physiological saline solution for 24 hours to simulate oral conditions. Surface … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2026 · 2,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Underestimated Prevalence of Ureaplasma Infections: A Comprehensive Epidemiological Study in South Korea (2018-2020)Jae Eun Choi, Bo Kyeung Jung, Eun Ju Oh, Jae Kyung KimUreaplasma infections are frequently underestimated due to potential inaccuracies in data collection from symptomatic patients. This study aimed to accurately assess the prevalence of Ureaplasma Urealyticum (UU) and Ureaplasma Parvum (UP) infections among outpatients aged 0-70 years in South Korea between 2018 and 2020. A total of 59,381 clinical samples, including swabs and urine specimens, were collected and analyzed using … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2024 · 6,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Results for Latent Tuberculosis Infection Diagnosis at a Referral Clinical Laboratory in South KoreaTae Soung Kim, Ga Yeon Kim, Young Ki Lee, Jae Kyung KimThe world health organization states that individuals with Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) are infected with Tuberculosis (TB) bacteria but do not show symptoms of active disease. However, they are at possibility of developing vigorous TB and potentially transmitting the illness to others. In 2018, South Korea reported a 14.8% positivity rate in LTBI screening, with higher rates observed among older … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2023 · 6,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinical Analysis of Pulmonary Nocardiosis in a Tertiary HospitalYoshihiro Kobashi, Makoto Kittaka, Ryo Shirai et al.This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of pulmonary nocardiosis in our tertiary hospital. The subjects consisted of five cases with pulmonary nocardiosis who received a definite diagnosis in our hospital from January 2006 to December 2016. The five patients with pulmonary nocardiosis included four females and one male with a mean age of 65.6 years old. All patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 5 Apr 2018 · 8,246 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
