“…6,18,[20][21][22][23][24] However, studies from some other parts of the country have shown different isolation rates, probably due to variation in sample size, geographical location or population. 5 NFGNB isolation was more common in IP as seen in a study by Malini et al 25 Non-fermenters are ubiquitous in the environment, able to survive in the hospital environment and can spread among hospitalized patients. They are emerging nosocomial pathogens especially in seriously ill patients and are responsible for causing a variety of infections.…”

“…Different types of the staphylococcus are common causes of hospital infections across the world [ 4 , 5 ]. This bacterium is one of the most important causes of acquired infections [ 6 ], in society which can lead to bacteraemia, toxic shock syndrome, osteomyelitis and skin infections [ 7 , 8 ]. According to recent reports staphylococcus aureus has developed resistance to some antibiotics [ 9 ].…”

The use of therapeutic herbs has become of great importance these days due to the increase in drug resistance. From a long time ago the Venus' navel plant has been used to treat infections. In this study the antibacterial effect of the aqueous extract from the Quercus coccifera (jaft) herb, under laboratory conditions. This study was carried out experimentally. After collecting the Venus navel herb, it was dried in a warm dry environment away from direct sunlight in the shade. The alcoholic extract was prepared using a standard method. Clinical samples of staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa were acquired from Ilam's health care institutes. The inhibitory effect of the extracts was analysed in the Mueller Hinton using the disk diffusion method for both bacteria. Then MIC and MBC of the extracts was determined using the Macro broth dilution method. At its highest concentration the aqueous extract had an inhibition zone of 27.2 and 23.7 mm on staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa consecutively. The MIC and MBC for staphylococcus aureus were 10 and 12.5 µg/ml and for pseudomonas aeruginosa they were 10 and 17.5 µg/m consecutively. The results of this study show the strong antimicrobial effect of jaft's aqueous extract on staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa and if more studies are based on this topic it could be a substitute for common antibiotics.

“…The antimicrobial resistance profile of E.coli in our study showed that more than 75% of the strains were resistant to fluoroquinolones; however, the resistance profile towards more broadspectrum antibiotics including nitrofurantoin, fosfomycin, and carbapenem ranged between 2-10.7%. Another study indicated an alarming resistance rate of E.coli towards broad-spectrum fluoroquinolones with 60% of strains being resistant to them [4]. The resistance patterns of E.coli in our study were also similar to another study that observed an 81.8% resistant strains of E.coli to ampicillin, 54.5% to cefepime, 2.3-6.8% to carbapenem, 36.4% to gentamicin, 9.1% to amikacin, up to 66% for fluoroquinolones, and 15.9% to nitrofurantoin [12].…”

“…The selection of antibiotic therapy by a physician to treat UTI is based on the knowledge of prevalent microorganisms, recent updates about the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and the clinical status of the patient [2]. Studies have shown that E.coli is the most commonly isolated microorganism from UTI patients with a varying prevalence ranging from 26 to 55% [3,4].…”

Background and objective Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually treated with empirical therapy by physicians based on previous knowledge of the predictability of causative agents and their antimicrobial susceptibilities. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of various pathogens causing UTIs and their antimicrobial resistance profile in patients presenting to the outpatient department (OPD) of a tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the urology OPD of a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. The study was conducted over a period of six months, and it included 1,000 patients (of ages 12 years or above) who were clinically suspected for UTIs. Patients with comorbidities and immunocompromised patients were excluded from the study. Recipients of corticosteroid therapy or those with a history of intake of broad-spectrum antibiotics in the previous 15 days were also excluded. The modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used for determining antimicrobial resistance against various antimicrobials. Results Out of 1,000 tested specimens, 530 (53%) isolates were found to be culture-positive. E.coli was the most common species isolated from the cultures with a prevalence of 77.4%, followed by Klebsiella (6.4%), Enterobacter (6.0%), Pseudomonas (3.8%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (3.4%), Citrobacter (1.1%), and Morganella (0.4%). Antimicrobial resistance against commonly used antimicrobials was found to be alarmingly high.
