Infection Control is notified of all patients with ESBL organisms in order to institute isolation measures. During FiscalYear (FY) 2000, a total of 17 new ESBL E. coli isolates were identified from this nursing home unit. 6 were identified during FY 2001, and 2 in the first half of FY ...
Implementation of some control protocols, including monitoring of fecal carriages in the initial steps of hos- pital admission and also isolation of carriers in separate areas could impressively reduce the rate of fecal carriage and also the rate of infection. Abbreviations ESBL Extended-spectrum ...
(11 cases);the isolation rate of gram-nega-tive bacterial strain producing ESBLs in sputum and postoperative drainage fluid were 16.2%, 13.4% respectively, which were much higher than those in urine, blood and venous catheter;nosocomial infection mainly occurred in the lower respiratory tract and...
Positive bacterial growth was detected in urine samples of 1408 (6.52%) patients. Among uropathogens,E. coli(1016 cases, 72.16%) was the most commonly isolated species, followed byK. pneumoniae(144 cases, 10.3%) andS. agalactiae(80 cases, 5.7%). In addition, fungal infection was found in ...
We investigated the isolation rates of the four species of ESBL-producing intestinal bacteria isolated from urine and blood in four medium-size hospitals in fiscal years 2007, 2009, and 2011. Regarding the transition of the number of ESBL-producing isolates from both urine and blood, the number...
. In the present study, two hundred Urine samples were collected from ICU patients suspected to have urinary tract infection at the discretion of the provider from a multispeciality hospital from Coimbatore. Isolation and identification was done based on their microscopic, cultural and biochemical ...
Isolation precautions were stopped after three sets of negative screening samples from throat, rectal, urine). 150 consecutive patients with ESBL were identified. 50 cases were excluded (death: n=13, 1 screening sample: n=37). The mean follow-up of the 100 analyzed patients was 30.5 months....
various clinical samples.Method: Specimens like urine, blood, sputum, pus, wound swab, tracheal aspiratesMicrobes from urine, blood, sputum, pus, wound swab, and tracheal aspirates after preparation and cultivation, and isolation were identified by Gram's staining and various biochemical reactions....
73% of ESBL producing strains isolated from urine samples were from female patients and 27% were from males. An increase in the frequency of ESBL isolation was noted in elderly patients of both sexes. A sample of 12 isolates, collected in different months of the study were further ...
The major source of isolates were urine and positive samples were received mostly from the urology. ESBL phenotype showed that cefotaxime-resistant isolates were greater than ceftazidime-resistant isolates.There were significant differences of trend of gender and the third cephalosporin resistant rates ...
