Invitro Activities of Polymyxins and Rifampicin against Carbapenem Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii at a Tertiary Care Hospital from South India [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii) is rapidly emerging as a potent organism causing a multitude of nosocomial infections. The organism also carries various resistance mechanisms to antibiotics, making treatment more difficult.

Phenotypic detection of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae using combined disk diffusion, ESBL HiCrome agar, and E-test: A comparative study

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2022
Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are in a rising trend in recent years, creating confusion for physicians to choose appropriate antimicrobials for treatment. Aim: The aim of the study is to detect ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae by

Comparison and Evaluation of Carbenicillin Disks in Diffusion Susceptibility Testing [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1974
A broad variety of bacterial strains, including 79 Pseudomonas aeruginosa , were studied in an in vitro evaluation of carbenicillin disk susceptibility testing. Regression analysis with both 50-μg and 100-μg carbenicillin disks was carried out.

Evaluation of a Novel System for Rapid Antibacterial Susceptibility Testing [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2007
Early determination of antibacterial susceptibility increases the success of therapy, decreases unnecessary use of antibacterial agents and side-effects, and lowers the overall healthcare cost. We have evaluated a rapid antibacterial susceptibility test,

Disk diffusion method for susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1991
The standard medium for disk diffusion and MIC testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (that of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards) was tested to establish zone correlations for the MIC breakpoints currently used in Sweden. Eight gonococcal control strains representing both susceptible and resistant strains and 50 clinical isolates were ...

Evaluation of extended spectrum beta lactamase enzymes prevalence in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli

Microbiology Research, 2011
Resistance to b-lactam antibiotics by gramnegative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli (E. coli), is a major public health issue worldwide. The predominant resistance mechanism in gram negative bacteria particularly E.

Evaluation of different methods to detect methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2014
Summary: The studies suggest that dogs living with human are potential risk of becoming MRSA carrier and increased risk of infections caused by MRSA. Phenotypic methods to detect methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are inadequate.

Synthesis and characterization of zinc and copper oxide nanoparticles and their antibacteria activity

Results in Materials, 2020
Inorganic nano-metal oxides can be effective alternatives to drug resistant organic antibiotics due to their broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against pathogenic and mutagenic gram-negative and positive bacteria. In this study, zinc and copper oxides

Disk diffusion susceptibility testing of the Bacteroides fragilis group [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1987
The susceptibilities of 225 isolates of the Bacteroides fragilis group to six antibiotics were determined by a new disk diffusion test in Wilkins-Chalgren agar and by the standard agar dilution method. For disk diffusion, the bacteria were directly suspended in saline and immediately swabbed onto 15-cm agar plates.
