Prevalence of Urinary Tract Infection among Suspected Female Patients Attending Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal
Abstract: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a serious health problem affecting millions of people, commonly females, each year around the world. UTI is defined by a combination of clinical features or symptoms and the presence of bacteria in urine or presence of more than 100,000 CFU/mL after urine culture. Clinical symptoms of UTI include frequency, dysuria, abdominal pain, back pain, fever, and urgency. Diagnosis of UTI relies on both urinalysis and …

Isolation and Identification of Bacteria Causing Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media and Its Antibiogram
Abstract: Background: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is defined as chronic inflammation of middle ear and mastoid cavity, which presents with recurrent ear discharge or otorrhoea through a tympanic perforation. According to WHO, the prevalence of CSOM in India is more than 4% and it falls among those countries where urgent attention is needed. It can be caused by various bacteria, fungus and viruses. Bacterial origin of CSOM is more common …

Bacteriological Profile and Antibiogram Pattern in Lower Respiratory Tract Infection in Kota Region (Raj)
Abstract: Lower respiratory tract infections are the most frequent infections among patients. The consequences on increased drug resistance are far reaching, since bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract is a major cause of death from infections disease. This study was focused on obtaining a comprehensive insight into the microbial profile, its prevalence and the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the isolates in lower respiratory tract infections. Sputum specimens were collected from …

Evaluation of Respiratory Tract Infectious Pathogens and Their Antibiotic Sensitivity in a South Indian Hospital
Abstract: This study is aimed to determine prevalence of infectious agents causing respiratory tract infection (RTIs) and their sensitivity to antibiotics. The study was conducted in Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences of Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh in South India from December 2013 to May 2014. Patients who were clinically suspected of RTIs were included in the study. Sputum, throat swab and pleural fluid samples were collected aseptically from the patients …

Identification of ESBL producing Escherichia coli from Urine Samples at Tertiary Care Hospital in Jhalawar
Abstract: Introduction: Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a serious worldwide threat to public health due to the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria and is considered as a great problem in the treatment of bacterial infections both in hospital as well as community settings. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing strains have emerged as a significant challenge to counter with present antibiotics. Aims: Our study was aimed to know the prevalence of ESBL producing …

A Study and Report on Assessment of Antibiotic Prescribing Patterns and Drug Resistance Among Various Infectious Diseases in Hospital
Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance remains the biggest cause of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, the age standardized mortality due to infectious diseases in India in 2008 was 377 per 100,000 persons, which is considered as highest in South Asia. This has led to the increased prescribing of antibiotics even at unnecessary conditions, which increased the rate of inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics, which in turn resulted in the emergence of …

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 …

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia: Prevalence of Bacteria and their Antibiogram in Tertiary Care Centre, Kota, Rajasthan, India
Abstract: Background: Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving procedure, but it is associated with a high risk of acquiring respiratory infections. Hence to prevent it and initiate empirical antimicrobial therapy, knowledge of microbial profile and their local antimicrobial sensitivity pattern are essential. The study aimed to investigate the role of endotracheal aspirate (ETA) surveillance cultures in identifying the aetiology of VAP earlier. Methods: A prospective study was carried out over a period …

DRUG INDUCED IMMUNE MEDIATED NEPHRITIS: MOLECULAR MECHANISM , PATHWAYS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Abstract: Drug-induced immune-mediated nephritis (DI-IMN) has become a more widely known cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), with the potential for development to chronic kidney disease if not detected and treated promptly. T-cell hypersensitivity to pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and immunological drugs, are the major causes for it. Beyond clinical burden, DI-IMN reflectsintricate molecular interactions that sustain interstitial inflammation and tubular injury. These interactions include …

Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern of Streptococcus Pneumoniae with Reference of Penicillin Resistance
Abstract: Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the leading bacterial cause of infection worldwide, ranging from common infections such as otitis media to life threatening invasive infections such as Sepsis, Meningitis and Pneumonia. For many years Penicillin provided very effective treatment for pneumococcal infections. However, the last two decades have seen the emergence of pneumococcal strains with resistance to Penicillin. AST with special reference to Penicillin was determined along with the minimum inhibitory …
