“…Even if these cases (n = 15, 2 cases had clinical sepsis and C difficile infection) were excluded from active HAIs, the prevalence of active HAIs (8.3%) was still higher than in the United States, Europe, and China (P < .05, χ 2 test). [1][2][3][4] The frequency of DR pathogens isolated from patients with active HAIs has been unclear in Japan. This cross-sectional PPS reported, for the first time, the frequency of 3GC-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and MRSA as causative agents of HAIs in a Japanese hospital.…”

“…The scale of reported PPSs has become multicenter, multistate, and multinational. [1][2][3][4] In Japan, there have been few reports about the hospital epidemiology of infectious diseases. Although specific surveillance of hospital infections, such as catheter-related bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, ventilatorassociated pneumonia, and surgical site infections at the targeted ward, is conducted, PPS data of HAIs and antimicrobial use have not yet been reported.…”

The point prevalence obtained in this study (15.14%) was much higher than that reported by studies conducted in other developed34–37 and developing countries 38–41…”

PurposeHospital-acquired infection (HAI) is a major safety issue affecting the quality of care of hundreds of millions of patients every year, in both developed and developing countries, including Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, there is no comprehensive research that presents the whole picture of HAIs in hospitals. The objective of this study was to examine the nature and extent of HAIs in Ethiopia.MethodsA repeated cross-sectional study was conducted in two teaching hospitals. All eligible inpatients admitted for at least 48 hours on the day of the survey were included. The survey was conducted in dry and wet seasons of Ethiopia, that is, in March to April and July 2015. Physicians and nurses collected the data according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definition of HAIs. Coded and cleaned data were transferred to SPSS 21 and STATA 13 for analysis. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to examine the prevalence of HAIs and relationship between explanatory and outcome variables.ResultsA total of 908 patients were included in this survey, the median age of the patients was 27 years (interquartile range: 16–40 years). A total of 650 (71.6%) patients received antimicrobials during the survey. There were 135 patients with HAI, with a mean prevalence of 14.9% (95% confidence interval 12.7–17.1). Culture results showed that Klebsiella spp. (22.44%) and Staphylococcus aureus (20.4%) were the most commonly isolated HAI-causing pathogens in these hospitals. The association of patient age and hospital type with the occurrence of HAI was statistically significant.ConclusionIt was observed that the prevalence of HAI was high in the teaching hospitals. Surgical site infections and pneumonia were the most common types of HAIs. Hospital management should give more attention to promoting infection prevention practice for better control of HAIs in teaching hospitals.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major bacteria for nosocomial infections because the conditions are favourable for its growth and with multidrug resistance to various antibiotics. Homoeopathy, the system of medicines which doesn't show any adverse reaction is considered safe for administration. The homoeopathic medicines Barosma Crenata 30CH, Holarrhena Antidysenterica 30CH, Laurocerasus 6CH gave more than 75% inhibition in single-dose, whereas gave inhibition of more than 84% when administered in repetition. These medicines were also given in conjunction with different medicines in double and triple doses where inhibition was more than 83% and 87% respectively. Out of all the medicines selected for the experiments, Laurocerasus 6CH gave the most inhibition i.e. 90.91%, which gave more inhibition then Doripenem per cent inhibition (86%).
