Osteomyelitis is the infection and inflammation of the bone. Inappropriate use of antibiotics and multidrug resistance has raised the morbidity and mortality rate in chronic osteomyelitis. This study aims to determine the bacterial profile and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of chronic osteomyelitis with special mention to various resistant mechanisms. Samples from osteomyelitis cases were aerobically cultured and isolates from culture positives were identified by standard procedures. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method.

In the present study, faecal and blood samples were collected, aseptically, from an elephant arrived to the Veterinary Clinics of the College. Immediately, samples were used for bacterial isolation. A bacterial isolate, isolated from the faecal sample of an elephant was identified at the genus level to be of Escherichia species by adopting Enterobacteriaceae identification kit used for studying biochemical characteristics and carbohydrate utilization tests (Gram negative bacilli showing mainly ONPG positive, oxidase negative and nitrate reduction positive).

Blood stream infections are very common in paediatric age group and are one of the common causes of morbidity and mortality. Septicaemia gradually leads to serious consequences like shock, multi organ failure, DIC etc. Timely identification of causative pathogen by blood culture (gold standard) is important. Antibiogram also helps us to elevate consciousness on resistance problems and recognise prospect to decrease the use of inappropriate antibiotics. The study was undertaken to evaluate major bacterial isolates causing septicaemia and their antibiogram pattern.

A novel Streptomyces sp. Ru87 was isolated from Egyptian soil and showed significant inhibition activities against a number of food and blood borne pathogens. Morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics showed that Ru87 belongs to genus Streptomyces. 16 S rRNA gene sequence (KY775360), showed 98% identity with Streptomyces cacaoi strain NBRC 12748. However, phylogenetic analysis indicated that it is distinct from the known species. A cultured extract of this strain inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and some other foodborne and blood borne pathogens.

Neonatal sepsis refers to systemic and generalized infection of the newborn which is documented by a positive blood culture in the first four weeks of life. It is one of the four leading causes of neonatal mortality in India, to isolate bacterial pathogens in neonates with clinical suspicion of sepsis from blood samples and to study their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Blood samples collected from 1072 neonates with suspected sepsis were processed. Out of 1072 neonates 231(21.54%) were culture positive.

The aim of the work was to study the blood culture isolates and their antibiogram. A total of 1070 blood samples were collected from suspected cases of blood stream infection from August 2015 to July 2016, they were processed aerobically and Antibiogram pattern was studied. Cultures were positive in 277 (25.89%) cases.

Blood infection due to Candida species are major cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalised patients. The spectrum of candidemia has changed to Non albicans Candida species and also shows resistance to commonly used azoles drugs. To study prevalence of Candida species isolated from blood culture samples and to isolate and identify different Candida species with their antifungal susceptibility testing. Blood samples were collected and incubated in automated blood culture system.

Staphylococcus aureus recently shows resistance to many Beta lactam antibiotics and Carbapenems. This study is focused on the incidence of MRSA in NICUs. Using Gram staining, blood culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests, MRSA can be identified. Septicemia is diagnosed not only by the isolation of the organism in blood culture. It should be correlated with total count, CRP like lab investigations and clinical features. Sometimes repeated blood culture is needed to confirm the diagnosis and to assess the prognosis.

Blood stream infections can lead to life threatening sepsis and require immediate antimicrobial treatment. Blood culture is an essential tool for the investigation of clinically suspected sepsis. The present study has been conducted to describe the profile of bacterial isolates from blood cultures and their antibiotic resistance. This is prospective study of 273 blood cultures, collected from clinically suspected cases of bacteraemia studied over a period of five months in a tertiary care hospital in Ujjain, M.P.

Blood stream infections are very common in the paediatric age group and these are one of the common causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates and children. Objectives of the study are to isolate the different organisms from Blood cultures of Neonates by BACTEC method and know their Antibiotic susceptibility patterns. We processed 100 Blood samples of the Neonates from PICU of NIMS Medical College and Hospital between January and June 2016 (06 months).

Neonatal septicemia is a clinically diagnosed condition having diverse etiology and changing antibiotic sensitivity pattern. The knowledge of common bacterial agents causing septicemia and their antibiogram is useful in deciding empirical antimicrobial therapy. The neonatal blood cultures were studied to know the bacterial species and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Aim of the study is to evaluate sensitivity pattern of bacterial isolates causing neonatal septicemia and to know clinical outcome of the cases.

Neonatal septicemia is responsible for nearly half of neonatal deaths. With emerging drug resistance mechanisms like Metallo Beta lactamase (MBL) production, treatment of neonatal sepsis has become a challenge. The present study was done to identify prevalence of bacterial pathogens, their resistance profile and incidence of MBL mediated resistance among Gram negative bacterial isolates in neonatal sepsis. Seventy three cases of suspected neonatal septicemia were included in this prospective study. Blood culture was done by BacT/Alert 3D system, bacterial isolates were identified.

This study was conducted to establish the occurrence and antibiotic susceptibility testing on isolates of Campylobacter obtained in cattle offals slaughtered within Gwagwalada abattoir. A total of 75 samples were collected over a period of five weeks using sterile swab sticks for cultures on blood free selective Campylobacter agar (modified CCDAPreston) enriched with selective supplement and incubated at 42°C for 48 hours microaerobically. The colonies were subjected to biochemical reactions of oxidase, catalase, citrate, indole reaction, hydrogen sulphide production and motility test.

Urinary Tract Infections are among the most common bacterial infections and account for a significant part of the workload in clinical microbiology laboratories. The rate of yield is almost same for all media i.e., Blood Agar, MacConkey gar, C.L.E.D Agar with Andrade’s indicator and Hichrome UTI Agar. The results obtained after various specific biochemical tests and other techniques, were correlated correctly with the presumptive identification results by Hicrome UTI Agar.

Many plants in Africa are medicinal. The use of medicinal natural plants predates the establishment of antibiotics and other modern drugs into the African continent. The antibacterial activity of Gongronema latifolium and a synthetic antibiotic (Rocephin) on a clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated in vivo using albino Wister rats. Five (5) adult female rats with weight ranging from 120 – 180 kg were purchased, housed, fed and nurtured for five days. Four (4) of the rats were inoculated with 0.1 ml 4hour growing broth culture of Staphylococcus aureus.

Blood stream infections can lead to life threatening sepsis and require immediate antimicrobial treatment. Blood culture is an essential tool for the investigation of clinically suspected bacteremia or septicemia. A timely detection of organism type and antibiotic susceptibility testing is critical for the effective treatment of the patient. Illness associated with blood stream infection ranges from self-limiting infections to life-threatening sepsis that require rapid and aggressive antimicrobial treatment.
