Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from urine samples. Int J Curr Microbiol Appl Sci. 2013; 2 :330–7.Manikandan C, Amsath A. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from urine samples. Int. J. Curr. Microbiol. App. Sci. 2013;2(8):...
New molecular diagnostic tools may be of interest for decreasing the antibiotic consumption in specific populations, mainly patients with suspected lower respiratory tract (LRT) infections. Razazi et al. evaluated the FilmArray Pneumonia plus Panel, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) assay, in...
In infants and young children, signs and symptoms of disease are nonspecific. Fever without a source is commonly the only initial manifestation of a renal infection, which can hinder a prompt diagnosis [9]. Moreover, to avoid invasive methods, collection of urine for culture, the only method ...
As proof of principle, we initially optimized the system for cell sorting and patterning using three different bacterial species, E. coli K12, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus, patterned on TSA agar plate in separate experiments as shown in Fig. 4A. Images of the agar plates were...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are highly prevalent, lead to considerable patient morbidity, incur large financial costs to health-care systems and are one of the most common reasons for antibiotic use worldwide. The growing problem of antimicrobial res
coli data unavailable for 68.5 % (n = 37) of the countries, and the food chain was the most inferred transmission route of ABR E. coli. Notwithstanding the relatively small number of studies at OH interfaces in Africa, these results emphasize antimicrobial stewardship, good hygiene and ...
While it achieves concentrations of over 200 μg/ml in urine3, concentrations in other bodily fluids are much lower; for example, typical plasma levels are less than 1 μg/ml, which is below the concentration needed to select for antimicrobial resistance mutations24. Nitrofurantoin is ...
The emergence and spread of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae, particularly Klebsiella pneumoniae, constitute a serious threat to public health, since carbapenems are the last line of defense in the treatment of life-threatening infections caused by drug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The current...
Pneumonia (Klebsiella pneumoniae) MDR Amoxicillin (99), Amox/clav (14), Cefuroxime (27), Cotrimoxazole (11) Gauteng, Western cape, Eastern cape, Kwazulu-Natal, Mpumulanga, and Orange free state provinces in South Africa [90] Pneumonia (Klebsiella pneumoniae) MDR Ampicillin (98), Cefuroxime (...
Clinical specimens from the urine, sputum, wound, blood, throat, and body fluids were isolated and identified as K. pneumoniae. Antibacterial susceptibility testing was performed for 14 antibiotics using disk diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. Isolates showing resistant to at least one of...
