Abstract Pakistan is an agricultural country and fisheries play a very important role in the economic development of the country. Different diseases are prevalent in Pakistani fish but information related to the causative agents is not well-known. Keeping in view the significance of bacterial pathogens a...

Temporal association between antibiotic use and resistance in Gram-negative bacteria

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract The β-lactam/lactamase inhibitors (BLBLIs) combination drugs are considered an effective alternative to carbapenems. However, there is a growing concern that the increased use of BLBLIs may lead to increased resistance. This study determined the temporal association between the consumption ...

Restricción programada de cefalosporinas de tercera generación en contexto de un brote de bacilos gramnegativos productores de beta-lactamasas tipo AmpC en unidades críticas: una experiencia de la vida real

Rev. chil. infectol; 38 (5), 2021
INTRODUCCIÓN: La restricción programada (RP) de antimicrobianos puede disminuir selectivamente la tasa de infecciones por determinados microorganismos. En este sentido, los bacilos gramnegativos productores de beta-lactamasas AmpC (BGN-blaAmpC) son seleccionados por el sobreuso de cefalosporinas de ter...

Active surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative healthcare-associated infections in a low-middle-income country city

Braz. j. infect. dis; 25 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT Background: Carbapenem-resistance in healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) is of great concern, and it is urgent to improve surveillance. We aimed to describe and analyze HCAIs trends on Gram-negative antimicrobial susceptibility in a city from a developing country, following the implementat...

Molecular detection of Bartonella, Ehrlichia and Mycoplasma in feral dogs of El Pedregal de San Angel Ecological Reserve in Mexico City

Abstract Free-ranging and feral dogs represent a group of unattended companion animals. They impact wild animal populations by predating native species, displacing predators and introducing exotic pathogens. The aim of this work was to describe the molecular occurrence of Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma...

Distribución y caracterización molecular de betalactamasas en bacterias Gram negativas en Colombia, 2001-2016

Biomédica (Bogotá); 39 (supl.1), 2019
Resumen Las betalactamasas, enzimas con capacidad hidrolítica frente a los antibióticos betalactámicos, son responsables del principal mecanismo de resistencia en bacterias Gram negativas; las de mayor impacto clínico y epidemiológico en los hospitales, son las betalactamasas de espectro extendido (...

Infecciones por bacilos Gram-negativos multirresistentes en neonatología

Arch. argent. pediatr; 117 (1), 2019
Introducción. Las infecciones por bacilos Gram-negativos multirresistentes (BGN-MR) constituyen un problema creciente en las unidades de cuidado intensivo neonatal. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, microbiológicas, evolutivas y los factores de riesgo...
