Combined disc diffusion test

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat worldwide. Increasing resistance to third generation cephalosporins has become a cause for concern. The prevalence of extended spectrum–lactamases (ESBLs) and metallobetalactamases (MBL) among members of Enterobacteriaceae constitutes a serious threat to current -lactam therapy leading to treatment failure. A total of 276 Gram negative isolates were processed. ESBL was detected by phenotypic confirmatory disc diffusion test (PCDDT) using ceftazidime alone and in combination with clavulanic acid.

The aim of this study was to analyze the extended spectrum of β lactamase (ESBL), metallo β lactamase (MBL) and AmpC production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in various clinical samples. A Total of 100 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from different clinical specimen and confirmed by standard tests. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. ESBL screening was done using 3rd generation cephalosporins and confirmatory combined double disc test, imipenem-EDTA double disc synergy test for MBL enzyme and AmpC test using Cefoxitin disc.

Non fermenting Gram Negative Bacilli (NFGNB) once considered as contaminants, now emerged as a major cause of life threatening nosocomial infections and as multidrug resistant pathogens. Acinetobacter species are the opportunistic pathogens with increasing prevalance in the nosocomial infections. Community acquired infections are also common in Acinetobacter. It accounts for 10% of all community-acquired bacteremic pneumonias. To isolate, identify and detect Carbapenem resistance producing Acinetobacter spp., and confirm Metallo Beta Lactamase ( MBL) production by phenotypic methods.

Antimicrobial resistance pattern and resistance to third generation cephalosporins has become increased worldwide. The detection of extended spectrum lactamases (ESBLs) and metallobetalactamases (MBLs) among members of Enterobacteriaceae family guide us to use Beta lactam, if not tested leading to treatment failure. One year prospective study, our aim is to detect ESBL and MBL producing gram negative bacilli from various clinical samples. A total of 100 Gram negative bacilli were processed.

One of the common causes of morbidity and mortality following burn injury is infections. The emergence of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) in Gram negative bacilli (GNB) has reduced the available therapeutic options for effective treatment. Therefore, for screening of carbapenemase producers, a simple and inexpensive testing method is essential. To know the prevalence of MBL production in various gram negative isolates, to evaluate different phenotypic methods to detect MBL production and to find out antibiotic sensitivity profile of MBL producing gram negative bacilli.

Carbapenem antibiotics are very often used against multidrug resistant strains clinically troublesome pathogens which developed and proved that the resistance and metallo-βlactamases (MBL) production were a disaster in treating infections. The identification and detection of MBL-producing bacterial strains were having crucial importance for the prevention of nosocomial infections. Therefore the present study was undertaken for screening MBL production Gram Negative bacteria.

Non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are an emerging problem in Blood stream infections. A major concern is multi-drug resistance which severely limits treatment options. Earlier it was believed to be non pathogenic, but recently they are more frequently isolated as primary pathogen. Usually they cause hospital acquired infection (HAI). A prospective study was conducted to isolate the NFGNB from blood samples, to identify the risk factors leading to blood stream infections and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of them.
