A study on the occurrence of bacterial isolation in mouth ulcer patients

Abstract

Objective: Aim of the study is to observe the occurrence of bacterial isolates from mouth ulcer swab specimens. Recurrent oral ulcer gravely frightens every day of patient's life and health. This paper talks about the recurrent oral ulceration affecting the oral mucosa by bacterial infections. Methodology: The study was carried out between April 2016 and June 2016. Mouth ulcer swab specimens were collected aseptically from patients and cultured on the appropriate bacteriological media. Bacterial isolates were identified by biochemical tests and antimicrobial susceptibility by standard methods. Result: Out of 60 samples, 45(75%) specimens were found to have bacterial growth and 15 (25%) of them showed no growth. The prevalence of bacterial spp. isolated from the mouth ulcer swab are listed as follows Acinetobacter baumanii 17(37.8%), Klebsiella pneumoniae 12(26.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 08 (17.8%), Staphylococcus aureus 05 (11.1%), H.pylori 3 (6.6%). Conclusion: This study will be useful for prediction of the prevalence of pathogen in Mouth ulcer and also providing the alertness among the patients about its complications for control strategies of the pathogen.

Chemically Modified Carbon Paste Sensor Based on N1,N2-Bis(salicylidine)butane-1,4-diamine for Determination of Nd(III)

“…Comparison of the developed sensor with other Nd(III) sensors: Table-5 compares the response characteristics of newly developed sensors with those of the previously reported sensors in literature. The sensor showed comparable working concentration range, pH and response time with respect to the other Nd(III) selective sensors reported in literature [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…The proposed sensor can be successfully applied for the direct determination of neodymium in binary mixtures. 5 × 10 -7 to 1× 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1 × 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1 × 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1 × 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1 × 10 -2 1 × 10 -5 to 1× 10 -2 1 × 10 -5 to 1× 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1 × 10 -2 5 × 10 -6 to 1 × 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1 × 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1× 10 -2 1 × 10 -6 to 1× 10 - [25]…”

Epidemiology of Acinetobacter Species in a Tertiary Care Hospital With Special Reference to Seasonal Variation)

“…Various samples such as blood, urine, sputum, pus, and other body fluids received in the laboratory were processed. The growth of genus Acinetobacter on agar plates was identified by colony morphology, Gram stain, positive catalase test, negative oxidase test, the absence of motility, and standard biochemical reactions [1,5]. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolates was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method for ciprofloxacin (5 µg), ceftazidime (30 µg), cefotaxime (30 µg), imipenem (10 µg), amikacin (30 µg), gentamicin (10 µg), ampicillin (10 µg), and cotrimoxazole (25 µg) discs (HiMedia, Mumbai, India).…”

“…in the establishment of nosocomial infections is a worldwide concern. The Progressive development of resistance to several antimicrobial agents used in the treatment poses a major challenge in health care [1]. In a study by the Global Burden of Diseases, mortality due to infections, in general, has decreased in the past few years but it still remains a major factor [2].…”
