Multidrug resistance burden

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains are a serious health problem in India, also contributing to one-fourth of the global MDR tuberculosis (TB) burden.

Resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, often mediated by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), is a considerable issue in hospital-associated infections as few drugs remain for treatment. ESBL genes are often located on large plasmids that transfer horizontally between strains and species of Enterobacteriaceae and frequently confer resistance to additional drug classes.

The frequency of these microorganisms in poultry is fairly high than Salmonella and more challenging to measure, which represent an expensive burden charge on public health due to their difficulties to master them, especially with the fast increase rates of multidrug-resistant of thermophilic Campylobacter strains. It is well recognized that Campylobacter spp. is a fastidious cell, difficult to isolate in laboratories owing to their requirements and sensibility.

Tuberculosis remains as one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Estimated cases of around 9.6 million are affected by all forms of TB worldwide, out of which 2.2 billion are affected in India. India also has the second highest burden of MDR TB after China. Information on MDR TB is sparse in Raichur District. We undertook this study to detect MDR TB among MDR suspected cases and its common mutation using Genotype MTBDR plus. All presumptive MDR sputum samples were sent to DST LAB RIMS, Raichur from various part of Raichur district.

Surgical site infection(SSI) is among the most common causes of nosocomial infections in the literature. SSI increases the financial burden, length of hospital stays and significant morbidity and mortality of the patient. These infections have a tremendous impact on morbidity and mortality as SSIs doubled the patient’s risk of death after surgery Therefore despite all recent advances, SSI still continue to be a major problem in the hospitals even with all available modern facilities.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of nosocomial infections. It has natural resistance as well as acquired multidrug resistance to various antibiotics leading to increased morbidity and mortality which lead to problematic condition. The main aim is to study the resistance pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from surgical site. Retrospective study was conducted in Department of Microbiology, M.P. Shah Govt. Medical College, Jamnagar, from January-2017 to October-2017.

Hospital acquired infections are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, leading to an enormous increase in the cost of hospital care and to the emergence of new health hazards for the community. The study aimed to determine the bacteriological profile of hospital acquired infections along with prevalence of multidrug resistance and extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) enzymes amongst the isolates. A total of 180 isolates of various organisms were isolated from different clinical samples during a period of one year from January 2014 to December 2014.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and is the leading cause of nosocomial infections especially among patients admitted to ICU and burn units. It has natural resistance as well as acquired multi drug resistance to various antibiotics leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Aim of the study is to isolate P. aeruginosa from burn and ICU patients and to evaluate multidrug resistance. Samples were collected from 100 patients from both ICUs and burn unit for a period of 15 months. Samples were processed in the Microbiology laboratory by standard bacteriological methods.

Acute pharyngitis is a common illness of childhood most frequently associated with Group A Streptococcus (GAS) and carrier state quiet often remains undiagnosed in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This prospective study was undertaken to assess the burden of GAS in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder attending pediatric clinics in a tertiary care centre at Chennai. Throat swabs were obtained for culture from 50 ADHD children aged 5 – 15 years with symptoms of sore throat and 50 from apparently asymptomatic children with ADHD.

Surgical site infections are considered as the commonest nosocomial infections after urinary tract infections and are responsible for increasing morbidity, mortality and economic burden. Advances in infection control practices have not completely eradicated this problem because of emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria. Aim of the study is to determine the incidence of SSIs and the prevalence of aerobic bacterial pathogens with their.

India is high tuberculosis burdened country with increasing prevalence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis. Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment of infectious cases are the key elements in reducing the spread of tuberculosis. In the present study we sought to ascertain multidrug resistant tuberculosis among previously treated tuberculosis cases and its resistance pattern to rifampicin and isoniazid genes.

The current global epidemic of pulmonary tuberculosis has highlighted the need for new screening tests that are rapid and accurate. The social burden of pulmonary tuberculosis has increased because many patients are also infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the rates of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis are increasing.1 However, screening technology has not changed greatly during the past several decades. Many highburden countries depend upon sputum smears and chest radiographs, supplemented by cultures when resources permit.
