Bacteriological and Yeast Profile in Clinical Samples from Immunocompromised Persons (Especially in HIV and Cancer Patients) and Their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern
Abstract: AbstractImmunocompromised host describes a patient who is on increased risk to acquire infection due to congenital or acquired abnormality of the immune system. In the past few decades, the population of immunocompromised hosts has expanded enormously, due to the increased use of immunosuppressive conditions like HIV, cancer, etc. This study was planned to know the spectrum of organisms and trend of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in immunocompromised patients. All hospitalized patients …

Biochemical Characterization of Mutant Strains and Cloning of Lactate Dehydrogenase Gene from Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract: An infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species. About 15 million (>25%) of 57 million annual deaths worldwide are estimated to be related directly to infectious diseases. The burden of morbidity (ill health) and mortality associated with infectious diseases falls most heavily on people in developing countries and particularly on infants and children diseases. Infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death; the …

Analysis for Respiratory Transmittable Diseases via Mass Spectrometry
Abstract: Microbial identification in clinical diagnostic laboratories has mainly relied on conventional phenotypic and gene sequencing identification techniques. The development of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) devices has revolutionized the repetitive identification of microorganisms in clinical microbiology laboratories by introducing an easy, rapid, high throughput, low-cost, and effective identification technique. This technology has been modified to the restraint of clinical diagnostic laboratories and has likely to replace …

A Cross-Sectional Study on Prevalence and Seasonal Trends of Malaria and Dengue and Their Co-infection in Patients with Acute Febrile Illness Attending a Tertiary Care Hospital in Jhalawar, Rajasthan
Abstract: Unknown etiologies behind acute febrile illnesses make treatment choices tough for clinicians resulting high mortality rates amongst the vulnerable populations. Vector borne diseases viz. malaria and dengue are the major stake holders responsible for AFI. Determination of their individual as well as concurrent prevalence is important for disease control. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and seasonality of malaria and dengue and their co infection in acute undifferentiated …
