Fatigability is an important marker of functional decline in community dwelling older people, yet its relationship with functional decline after hospitalization is unclear. The objectives of this study were to identify trajectories of fatigability and mobility over time and to examine the association between demographic and clinical characteristics and these trajectories in medical patients aged 70 years and older admitted to a Dutch tertiary care teaching hospital.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) among uropathogens is a global public health problem (Mathai et al., 2001). In UTI cases there is a need to start treatment before the final microbiological results are available. Area-specific monitoring studies aimed to gain knowledge about the type of pathogens responsible for UTIs and their resistance patterns may help the clinician to choose the right empirical treatment (Stamm et al., 2001).

Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a highly troublesome pathogen for many institutions globally. As a consequence of its immense ability to acquire or upregulate antibiotic drug resistance determinants, it has justifiably been propelled to the forefront of scientific attention. The clinical specimens over a period of 3 years (January 2014 to December 2016) were analyzed and the A. baumannii isolates obtained by an automated identification system (Vitek 2 Compact) were segregated for further study.

Resistant and specially Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) Gram negative isolates from the cases of Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) are a serious challenge for the treatment to clinicians. Present study was undertaken for phenotypic characterization and susceptibility pattern of Gram negative bacterial isolates from cases of CLABSI in a tertiary care institute. Materials this descriptive cross sectional hospital based study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of one and half year from January 2012 to June 2013.

75% of the mortality associated with burn injuries is related to infection The aim of the present study was to identify the bacterial profile of burn wound infection (BWI) in our setting and determine their susceptibility pattern to commonly used antibiotics.This prospective study was conducted over a period of one year in a teaching tertiary care hospital, Chennai. A total of 100 patients with burns of total body surface area (TBSA) of 20% to 40% were included. Three wound swabs on 1st , 4 th and 7th day were collected aseptically and processed.

In developing countries, Occupation health and safety is not given priority. The Needle stick Injuries (NSI) are among the incidents which risk the safety of Health Care workers in the hospital and healthcare setup. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of NSI’s in a tertiary care teaching hospital. A total of 70 NSI’s were reported and studied from January to December 2014. Needle stick injuries were more common among doctors and nurses and majority of the NSI’s were reported during blood collection (27%) followed by invasive procedures (21%).

The aim of the study was to speciate the CoNS isolates from various clinical samples and to study their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Over a period of 18 months from December 2013 to May 2015, 142 Coagulase negative staphylococcal isolates grown in pure culture from various clinical samples were isolated and identified by standard procedure. Speciation of CoNS was done using novobiocin resistance test, urease activity, ornithine decarboxylase, pyrrolidonyl arylamidase and aerobic acid production from mannose.

The incidence of AmpC beta-lactamase producing K. pneumoniae has been steadily increasing over past years and is of significant concern as they restrict therapeutic options and cause treatment failure. The objective of the present study was to know the occurrence of AmpC beta-lactamase producing K. pneumoniae and to create a baseline antibiotic resistance data to implement effective antibiotic policy.

Background- Recently fungal infections are increased rapidly due to increase antibiotic use and misuse along with increased use of intravascular devices. Especially colonizing yeast like organisms like Candida species are emerging as important fungal pathogen. AimThus this present study focused on isolation and characterisation of Candida species from various clinical isolates.

This study was undertaken to find out incidence of Candidiasis, their species identification and susceptibility of azole derivatives. In 6 months period, total 43 Candida spp. were isolated from various clinical samples, among which C. albicans (46.5%), C. tropicalis (24.5%), C. glabrata (23.4%) and C. krusie (4.6%).Susceptibility to Ketoconazole (KT), Fluconazole (FLC) and Itraconazole (IT) were detected.

In the last decade a number of tests were developed and used for early detection of sepsis yet blood culture remains a gold standard in establishing diagnosis of sepsis according to 1992-2001 definition which gives an emphasis on the role of microbes in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Thus this study was aimed at isolating and identifying bacterial and/or fungal agents from blood culture of the patients diagnosed clinically as having sepsis.

The rapid emergence of resistance against the antibiotics by bacteria poses a threat to the health and health benefits that can be obtained by the use of antibiotics. This problem is worldwide and it reflects on the overuse of these drugs and lack of development of new drugs for combating this situation. Moreover infections due to such resistant bacteria add to the cost of healthcare in any nation.

Pyogenic infections are one of the most common clinical complications following surgery and trauma. Prompt antimicrobial therapy is needed to reduce the morbidity of these infections. Rationale use of antibiotics is the need of the hour to curb the rising antimicrobial resistance. A retrospective study was undertaken to identify the microbial profile with their antibiogram among the pus culture isolates in a teaching tertiary care hospital from January 2017 to June 2017.504 pus culture samples processed at the microbiology lab were analyzed.

Sepsis in modern surgery continues to be a significant problem for healthcare practitioners across the globe.1 Since initial antimicrobial therapy usually remains empiric; the knowledge of prevailing susceptibility patterns at individual institutions is a must. To determine the etiology of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients admitted to a tertiary care teaching hospital, study its antibiogram and the prevalence of ESBL. 200 patients who developed SSI in a teaching hospital during a period of one year were prospectively studied.

Pyoderma is the commonest skin infection in children. The awareness about regional pattern of isolates, their antibiotic sensitivity and resistance pattern is of utmost importance in treating them. Aims of the study are 1) To study the bacteriological profile of pyoderma in children 2) To assess the antibiotic sensitivity pattern. 3) To determine the resistance pattern. Cases of primary and secondary pyoderma in paediatric age group attending Dermatology outpatient department in a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of one year were enrolled in this study.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is relatively ubiquitous and the cause of community acquired colonization and infections as well as endemic and epidemic nosocomial colonization and infections. Early detection of MRSA and formulation of an effective antibiotic policy, along with infection control in tertiary care hospitals is of paramount importance from an epidemiological viewpoint. Present study was carried out to know the prevalence MRSA infection in teaching hospital located in Karnataka One hundred fifty isolates from clinical samples were processed.

Hospitals and other health care institutions are engaged in essential and intensive efforts to prevent health care associated infections (HAI). HAIs are of particular concern to infection prevention professionals because many of these are caused by rapidly developing strains of multidrug resistant organisms. The preventive aspect of hospital acquired infection (HAI) surveillance is difficult to assess.
