Number of cases according to the organism type and the age category (Child < 14 years and Adults > 14 years) [37] is tabulated in Table 1. Table 1 Frequency of the isolated uropathogens according to the age Full size table Fig. 4 Distribution of drug sensitivity and resistance ...
Interestingly,P. aeruginosagenerates diverse enzymes and exotoxins. Moreover, it possesses considerable abilities to form biofilm. Additionally, a variety of bio-molecules like proteins and poly-saccharides in the biofilm matrix would protect bacteria from the immune responses of the host and from anti...
In each case, one liter of wastewater was collected in a sterile glass bottle. The samples were immediately placed in a cooler containing ice blocks and transported within 12 h to the microbiology laboratory of the Clinical Research Unit of Nanoro (CRUN) for analysis. Bacterial count, isolation...
Full size image Sterile cotton wool swabs were swirled in freshly deposited fecal material on the ground where gulls had recently been roosting. Swabs were put in tubes containing bacterial freeze medium [Luria broth; BD, Sparks, USA, phosphate buffered saline containing 0.45 % Na-citrate, 0.1 ...
The short turnaround time and its simplicity make it suitable for routine use in clinical microbiology laboratories. It can provide results from colonies that grew on most commonly used culture plates, including MH and complex chromogenic and selective screening media. The kit also detects the ...
Only strains from the first bacteremic episode were included in the analysis. Blood cultures were processed using the automated blood culture system. (BD Phoenix™ Auto- mated Microbiology System) In the present study, non-susceptibility arbitrarily re- fers to the category of intermediate and ...
