Objectives: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are among the most common infectious disease. We determined the bacterial etiology of LRTIs among patients attending Nepalgunj Medical College teaching hospital in Banke, western Nepal. Materials and Methods: 426 specimens from patients with suspected LRTIs attending out-patients and in-patients departments were studied. The specimens were collected and processed according to standard methodology in the Central Laboratory of Microbiology at

Objectives: In developing countries, bacteriuria is associated with significant maternal and foetal risks. Rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance warrants continuous monitoring of the susceptibility patterns of bacterial isolates. In this study, we report our findings regarding the drug resistance patterns of bacteria isolates from pregnant women with urinary tract infections (UTI).Methods: This study included 1358 pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology between July 2013 and August 2014. Urine specimens were processed for isolation and identification of bacterial species following standard microbiological methods. The disc diffusion test was used to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns of the recovered isolates at
