COMPARISON OF DOUBLE-DISC SYNERGY, COMBINED DISC DIFFUSION, AND E TEST FOR METALLO-BETA-LACTAMASE DETECTION IN PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL

Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research, 2023
Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are an important class of carbapenemases which are predominantly produced by P. aeruginosa. This study is aimed to study the prevalence of MBLs among imipenem (IMP)-resistant P.

Bicycle Disc Brake Thermal Performance: Combining Dynamometer Tests, Bicycle Experiments, and Modeling [PDF]

The 13th Conference of the International Sports Engineering Association, 2020
High-power bicycle disc braking can create excessive temperatures and boiling brake fluid, resulting in performance degradation and damage. The goal of this work is to understand brake friction performance and thermal behavior for bicycle disc brakes.

Computational simulation of the intervertebral disc [PDF]

, 2013
The intervertebral disc is a complex structure unlike any other in the human body. The capability to withstand high loads and deformations in six degrees of freedom is facilitated by the unique soft tissue structures. However, the mechanical behaviour of

Comparison of combined disc synergy test and double disc synergy test for phenotypic detection of metallo-ß-lactamase among the clinical isolates of gram-negative bacilli

International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) have a wide spectrum of activity and they confer a higher level of resistance to all β-lactams antibiotics including Carbapenem. The active site in MBLs contains either 1 or 2 Zn2+ ions for their catalytic mechanism. All MBLs share a common feature of being inhibited by EDTA.

Systematic Comparison of Three Commercially Available Combination Disc Tests and the Zinc-Supplemented Carbapenem Inactivation Method (zCIM) for Carbapenemase Detection in Enterobacterales Isolates

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2021
Detection of carbapenemases in Enterobacterales is crucial for patient treatment and infection control. Among others, combination disc tests (CDTs) with different inhibitors (e.g., EDTA) and variations of the carbapenem inactivation method (CIM) are recommended by EUCAST or the CLSI and are used by many laboratories

Prevalence of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase, Metallo β-Lactamase, and AmpC β-Lactamase among Gram Negative Bacilli Recovered from Burn Wound Infection

RUHS Journal of Health Sciences, 2023
Introduction: Infections are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in burn patients. The ESBL, MBL and AmpC are the major mediators of antimicrobial resistance in gram negative bacteria. Early detection of ESBL, MBL and AmpC β -lactamases is crucial

[A study on the disc sensitivity test for clavulanic acid/amoxicillin combination].

The Japanese journal of antibiotics, 1988
Susceptibilities of 179 strains of 30 bacterial species or subspecies to clavulanic acid/amoxicillin (CVA/AMPC) combination were determined by the 2-fold agar dilution method as well as by diameters of inhibition zones in the single-disc method, under the experimental conditions established by Kanazawa.
