Microbiological profile

Bacteremia caused by Serratia rubidaea is seldom mentioned in comparison with other Enterobacteriaceae species. It primarily affects immunocompromised patients undergoing invasive procedures. Furthermore, the incidence, clinical features, and microbiological profile of this pathogen in the intensive care unit are rarely described.

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.

The present study was carried in the Department of Microbiology, MMIMSR, Haryana on 200 clinically suggested cases of corneal ulcers. Corneal scrapings were subjected to microscopy and culture. Of 200 suspected cases, 43.5% were culture positive. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the predominant gram positive and negative bacterial isolates. Aspergillus species was the most prevalent fungal isolate.

Post-operative wound infections remain a serious problem in spite of modern standards of preoperative preparation, antibiotic prophylaxis and operative technique. This study was undertaken to Isolate aerobic bacterial pathogens from clinically suspected post-operative wound infections and to determine their antibiogram. Samples that were sent to Microbiology laboratory from clinically suspected cases of post-operative wound infections were processed further.

The present study was envisaged to check the physico-chemical properties of effluents being treated at CETPs and to isolate indigenous heavy metal tolerant bacteria for their subsequent utilization for heavy metal uptake. Effluent samples were collected from two CETPs located in Ludhiana and Jalandhar and were analyzed for their physico-chemical parameters (dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and pH) and heavy metal profile using Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma-Emission Spectroscopy (ICAP-AES).
