Mucormycosis is an emerging opportunistic fungal infection. Increasing immunocompromization, widespread use of antibacterial and antifungal agents (such as voriconazole prophylaxis), carcinomas, transplantation lifestyle diseases such diabetes are the main contributors to this situation. The predominant clinical manifestations mucormycosis vary from host host, with rhino-orbital-cerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal infections being most common. In India, prevalence approximately...
Neonatal sepsis epidemiology has been adequately reported in tertiary-care hospitals. However, such data are scarce from district hospitals low-income and middle-income countries. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of sepsis, pathogen profile, antimicrobial resistance among neonates admitted special newborn care units India. We prospectively enrolled five India between October, 2019, December, 2021. Blood cultures were obtained who met prespecified criteria processed at laboratories...
Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been recognized as one of the major pathogens in hospital well community settings. In India, mean isolation rate MRSA is 20–40 % and many studies have suggested an escalating infections caused by this organism. Despite pharmaceutical technological advancement, still remain difficult to diagnose. The present study was undertaken compare five phenotypic methods for detection MRSA. This involved examining 200 isolates S. oxacillin disc...
Bloodstream infections due to Candida species are becoming a major cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The spectrum candidemia has changed with the emergence non-albicans species, especially among critically ill patients.In retrospective study (July 2009 December 2009) on candidemia, various isolated from blood cultures were characterized studied along determination their antifungal susceptibility amphotericin B, itraconazole, fluconazole by Etest. Probable risk...
To find out the prevalence and epidemiological features of keratomycosis in Chandigarh, present study was carried jointly by Departments Microbiology Ophthalmology, Government Medical College Hospital, over a period 5 years from January 1999 to December 2003. Corneal scrapings were collected total 154 suspected patients processed identified standard laboratory techniques. The revealed that 64 cases (41.55%) positive for fungal agents. Direct microscopy 52 (76.47%) culture 34 (53.12%). Most...
Saksenaea erythrospora is an emerging and recently described pathogenic fungus mainly causing invasive cutaneous infections. Globally, very few human cases, caused by S. erythrospora, have been reported. In India, among the genus Saksenaea, vasiformis was only reported species, until when a case of fungal rhinosinusitis to be erythrospora. We observed five cases necrotizing skin soft tissue infections following traumatic implantation over 1-year study period.The conducted for year observing...
Several studies have reported the influence of genetic variations on susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB). Polymorphism in P2X7 gene coding for receptor present macrophages has been linked TB different populations.To assess role -762T/C and -1513A/C polymorphisms susceptibility.In a case-control study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples cases controls was followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism or allele-specific...
ABSTRACT Background: Urinary tract infection due to Escherichia coli is one of the common problem in clinical practice. Various drug resistance mechanisms are making bacteria resistant higher group drugs treatment options very limited. This study was undertaken detect ESBLs and AmpC production uropathogenic isolates determine their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern with special reference fosfomycin. Materials Methods: A total number 150 E. were studied. ESBL detection done by double disc...
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in innate immunity. The effect of low MBL levels producing variants MBL2 gene on tuberculosis (TB) has been controversial with some studies reporting it to confer protection against the disease, whereas others estimating a susceptibility relation. Other than conducting case-control study evaluate A/B polymorphism TB, we conducted longitudinal check whether this variant can influence host response Mycobacterium infection. A total 357 TB...
Abstract Background Data on mixed mould infection with COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) and mucormycosis (CAPM) are sparse. Objectives To ascertain the prevalence of co‐existent CAPA in CAPM (mixed infection) whether is associated early mortality (≤7 days diagnosis). Methods We retrospectively analysed data collected from 25 centres across India mucormycosis. included only excluded subjects disseminated or rhino‐orbital defined if a respiratory specimen showed septate...
To keep the level of awareness high as far incidence dengue among pregnant women is concerned.A total 300 blood samples patients with fever in pregnancy were received Department Microbiology to rule out infection (January 2011 December 2012). The put up for presence IgM antibodies and NS1Ag by ELISA. who turned be positive serology retrospectively analysed respect patient's age, gestational clinical presentation, complications, platelet counts maternal well foetal outcomes.Out females...
Summary The two most common filamentous fungi causing mycotic keratitis are Aspergillus and Fusarium spp. Around 70 involved in human infections. In this study, four cases of sugarcane farmers India being reported, caused by the sugar cane pathogen sacchari , a species fujikuroi complex. Fusarial was established potassium hydroxide/Calcofluor white wet mounts fungal culture corneal scrapings on conventional media. Final identification done genetic sequencing at CBS ‐ KNAW Utrecht,...
