Sensitivity to other antibiotics

Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus have a poorer prognosis when the infecting strain is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) additionally MRSA strains are important for their resistance to many other commonly used antibiotics. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of MRSA strains in clinical specimens and to investigate their sensitivity pattern. A total of 480 various samples received in the department of Microbiology at MIMER Medical college and hospital, Talegaon were included in the study.

The aim of this study is to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile patterns to 15 antibiotics and heavy metals (Zn+2, Cu+2 and Cd+2) by Pantoeaagglomerans bacteria. The (MIC) of the heavy metals was varied from 200 µg /mL to 2200 µg/mL. The results showed that the bacteria were resistant to Zn+2, Cu+2 and Cd+2, considering the MIC values compared with the strain Escherichia coli K-12 used as control. P.

Among the other 12 inpatient MRSA isolates which had the pvl gene, nine were sensitive to most of the non- beta lactam antibiotics, whereas remaining three were resistant to most of the antibiotics except vancomycin and linezolid. The presence of pvl gene can no longer be used to discriminate between CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA.

Non-fermenting gram negative bacilli (NFGNB) are a group of aerobic, non spore forming bacilli. They either do not use carbohydrates as a source of energy or degrade them through metabolic pathways other than fermentation. They are ubiquitous in nature. Although they are commonly considered to be environmental contaminants, they have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens. Aim of this study was to characterize the prevalence of NFGNB distribution from various clinical isolates and to evaluate their antibiotic sensitivity patterns.

Among other factors, infectious diseases are the real threat to the poultry development. Of the various infectious microorganisms Escherichia coli and Mycoplasma are of prime importance. These microorganisms persist for reasonably long periods in the flocks and there by lead to high economic losses through mortality, loss of weight and production. E. coli cannot readily infect the air sacs unless they are previously invaded by Mycoplasma gallisepticum alone or in combination of either infectious bronchitis or Newcastle disease virus.

Enterobacteriaceae cause protean infections and are the common Gram negative isolates in a microbiology laboratory. Spectrum of multi-drug resistance includes AmpC, Extended spectrum beta lactamase and carbapenemase production with others. This was a cross sectional study to determine susceptibility pattern of AmpC and extended spectrum beta lactamase producing isolates against different antimicrobials.

A domestic pigeon which was brought to SPCA, Chennai by a pet owner having 50 pigeons was referred for disease diagnosis with the history of sudden mortality and respiratory distress. The remaining ailing birds were inspected and were found to be lethargic with respiratory distress. Necropsy examination revealed grayish white foci scattered on the liver parenchyma. Liver impression smears and heart blood smears were suggestive of Pasteurella spp. Cultural examination of heart blood confirmed P. multocida. Antibiotic sensitivity assay revealed high sensitivity to enrofloxacin.

Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) have emerged as predominant pathogens in hospital and community acquired infections. Clindamycin is a good therapeutic agent in treatment of skin, soft tissue as well as serious infections caused by both methicillin sensitive and resistant Staphylococci. However, strains with inducible clindamycin resistance often lead to therapeutic failure. Hence, each laboratory should be aware of the local prevalence of this resistance among clinical staphylococcal isolates.

E. coli isolates from Kadknath poultry birds were tested for in vitro sensitivity towards total 09 antibacterial drugs viz. Azithromycin, Cefuroxime, Cephalothin, Cefepime, Erythromycin, Enrofloxacin, Kanamycin, Norfloxacin and Moxifloxacin. Most of the E. coli isolates was only found sensitive to three antibiotics viz. Azithromycin, Cefuroxime and Cefepime, while all other drugs were showing high resistance. Multi drug resistance to antibacterial agents was observed in maximum E. coli isolates.

Acute pharyngitis is a very common illness that can be caused by different viruses and bacteria, Group A streptococci (GAS) being the most common bacterial cause. However, clinical examination cannot be used to differentiate viral and group A strep pharyngitis, even for experienced clinicians. Objectives of the study is to determine the impact of rapid antigen detection testing (RADT) to identify group A beta haemolytic Streptococcus in acute pharyngitis and to compare the RADT with throat swab culture in diagnosing acute GAS pharyngitis.

Candida spp. can cause a wide variety of infections in immunosuppressed patients of long term broad – spectrum antibiotics, steroids or other immunosuppressive agents, diabetes mellitus, AIDS, Malignancy, Neutropenia. Although the majority of infections are caused by Candida albicans, Non-C. albicans Candida (NCAC) species are emerging as important pathogen in humans. Our study included 130 clinical isolates which showed gram positive budding yeasts cells with or without pseudohyphae.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading pathogens for hospital and community-acquired infections. Increased use of Vancomycin has resulted in the emergence of MRSA with reduced susceptibility to Vancomycin. The emergence of Vancomycin-intermediate or resistant S. aureus has created the need for other anti MRSA antibiotics. To isolate the Staphylococcus aureus from various clinical samples, determine the prevalence of MRSA and to assess the in-vitro susceptibility of Daptomycin against MRSA isolates.

Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile human pathogen causing infections ranging from relatively mild skin and soft tissue infection to life threatening sepsis, pneumonia and toxic shock syndrome. The increasing incidence of a variety of infections and, especially, the expanding role of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)--has led to emphasis on the need for safe and effective agents to treat both systemic and localized staphylococcal infections. Clindamycin is considered to be one of the alternative agents in these infections.

Staphylococcus aureus is a virulent pathogen in humans capable of surviving in the otherwise sterile bloodstream and causing a serious and life threatening bacteremia with high morbidity and mortality. Presence in the blood increases its chances of metastasis and the risk of fatality. The choice of antibiotic therapy has conventionally relied to a large extent on the susceptibility of the pathogen to methicillin.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a spectrum of airway diseases that has chronic bronchitis at one end and emphysema at other end. COPD is the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Most of the episodes (80%) of AECOPD are triggered by infections mainly affecting the lower respiratory tract by respiratory viruses, atypical bacteria and aerobic Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

Very few therapeutic options are available from the time of emergence of MRSA. Macrolide lincosamide streptogramin B (MSLB) antibiotics can be used in such scenarios with clindamycin being the preferred agent due to its excellent pharmacokinetic properties. Staphylococcal resistance to clindamycin may be inducible (iMLSB - inducible MacrolideLincosamide Streptogramin B resistance) or constitutive. The treatment of patients harbouring iMLSB Staphylococci with clindamycin leads to the development of constitutive resistance, subsequently leading to therapeutic failure.
