Pseudomonas aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to a variety of antimicrobials and can
develop resistance during anti-pseudomonal chemotherapy both of which compromise …

Infections continue to play a significant role in the overall global mortality and disability more
so in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and plague developing countries more intensively. The …

Background: An alarming rise in the rates of the antibiotic resistance has now become a
serious and an increasingly common public health concern, with severe implications …

Abstract Introduction: Infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are difficult to treat as
the majority of isolates exhibit varying degrees of beta-lactamase mediated resistance to …

AmpC β-lactamases are cephalosporinases that hydrolyze cephamycins as well as other
extended-spectrum cephalosporins and are poorly inhibited by clavulanic acid. Although …

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence and
characterize the resistance profiles of Escherichia coli isolated from various clinical …

Methods: A total of 241 nosocomial isolates of K. pneumoniae (n= 109) and E. coli (n= 132)
from six geographically distant hospitals in India were included. These were screened for …

Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem of major importance. Isolations in some
countries of multi-drug-resistant (resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobials) …

Abstract β-lactamase mediated resistance in Escherichia coli is a significant problem that
requires immediate attention. Herein, we aim to characterize and understand the dynamics …

Methods: One hundred consecutive, non-duplicate clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae
collected over a period of one year (June 2008-June 2009) were included in the study. An …
