Treatment of Klebsiella infections has been difficult due to the fulminating course of disease and the high incidence of multiple drug resistance (Fox and Rohovsky, 1975). Intensive antibiotic therapy was successful in controlling an outbreak in a rhesus monkey colony; however, during bacterial isola...
Charles Donovan dell'Indian Medical Service trovò in maniera indipendente i medesimi corpuscoli in un altro paziente con kala azar, e oggi sono noti come "corpi di Leishman-Donovan", e sono riconosciuti come protozoi e agenti causali del kala azar, Leishmania donovani. WikiMatrix for Sta...
However, despite the advent of effective antibiotic therapy, bacteria are constantly evolving noble mechanisms to evade the treatment regimen in question, giving rise to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—a condition in which pathogenic bacteria develop resistance to specific antibiotics...
Antibiotic Resistance The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is of considerable concern since these pathogens represent a significant reason for treatment failure. K. pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen most likely to infect immunocompromised individuals in a hospital environment. Acquisition of an...
Since its discovery in 2007, the blaSCO-1 gene (GenBank accession no. EF063111) has been identified in Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Klebsiella aerogenes, Salmonella enterica, and only four K. pneumoniae isolates [19]. The epidemiological analysis of K. pneumoniae...
[33]. KpnC isolates positive formcrwere further investigated for antimicrobial susceptibility using the disk diffusion method to provide evidence-based guidance for further optimizing effective antimicrobial treatment options and surveillance for the emergence of antibiotic drug resistance. Antimicrobial disks ...
