“…Drug sensitivity tests are routinely performed in the clinical laboratory by a number of methods such as the disk diffusion and drug dilution techniques (2,3,8,11). In disk diffusion methods the tests are reported in qualitative terms, whereas the results of drug dilution tests are reported quantitatively.…”

Antibiotic susceptibility studies were compared by the quantitative minimum inhibitory concentration and Autobac I. Four hundred common isolates from clinical materials including both gram-negative and -positive organisms were evaluated. Results demonstrate that the Autobac I method can provide reliable semiquantitative estimation of bacterial susceptibility that correlates well with an acceptable standard procedure. The specific advantages of the Autobac I system in addition to the reliability demonstrated are speed, objectivity of interpretation, and ability to provide a printed result. These advantages can result in increased speed of reporting, which may reduce hospital stay and patient morbidity as well as providing needed information more rapidly in critically ill patients with bacterial infections.

“…Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a pathogenic bacterial species in the genus Mycobacterium and the causative agent of most cases of tuberculosis (TB) [Ryan and Ray, 2004] Consumption, phthisis, scrofula, Pot's disease, and the White Plague are all terms used to refer to tuberculosis throughout history. It is generally accepted that the microorganism originated from other, more primitive organisms of the same genus Mycobacterium.…”

The study had two main broad but related objectives. The first objective was to determine the actual causes of under detection of pulmonary TB cases in the Northern Region of Ghana. Data was collected through administering a structured questionnaire; and collection of sputum samples from the respondents. The second objective was to determine the actual causes of low smear positive rates by assessing the capacity to effectively perform sputum smear microscopy for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFBs) in the district hospitals where the study was conducted. Collection of data here involved the use of a structured checklist for the laboratory and the staff who performed Tb microscopy. In all, 26 laboratory staff who performed Tb microscopy in the study district hospital laboratories were involved. The study lasted for a period of three months. The study revealed that, 41.2% of the study participants did not go to hospital when they fell sick. Out of this figure, 20.4% (21) attributed their inability to do so to poverty, 4.9% (5) to lack of access, 35.9% (37) to stigma, 28.2% (29) to cultural beliefs and 10.6%(11) attributed it to other reasons.

“…There can only be one copy of the F-plasmid in a given bacterium, either free or integrated, and bacteria that possess a copy are called F-positive or Fplus. Cells that lack F plasmids are called F-negative or F-minus and as such can function as recipient cells [26] [29].…”

Paradigms based on competition have shown to be useful for solving difficult problems. In this paper we present a new approach for solving hard problems using a collaborative philosophy. A collaborative philosophy can produce paradigms as interesting as the ones found in algorithms based on a competitive philosophy. Furthermore, we show that the performance-in problems associated to explosive combinatorial-is comparable to the performance obtained using a classic evolutive approach.
