Background: The use of Internet has now become indispensable, and the technology revolutionized medical education practice worldwide. Currently, students professionals have an enormous opportunity to keep them always updated with exponential growth knowledge because potential progression throughout world that enables a lifelong learner. addiction is widespread phenomenon among academicians at universities in Malaysia. Students for recreational purpose personal professional development....
Nosocomial infection caused by Acinetobacter baumannii is of great concern due to its increasing resistance most antimicrobials. In this study, 54 nonrepeat isolates A. from the main tertiary hospital in Terengganu, Malaysia, were analyzed for their antibiograms and genotypes. Out isolates, 39 (72.2%) multidrug resistant (MDR) carbapenems whereas 14 (25.9%) categorized as extensive drug (XDR) with additional polymyxin B, "last resort." Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analyses showed that...
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of top priority pathogens. Despite its public health importance, genomic data clinical isolates from Malaysia remain scarce. In this study, whole-genome sequencing was performed on 126 A . collected main tertiary hospital in state Terengganu, Malaysia, over a 10-year period (2011–2020). Antimicrobial susceptibilities determined for 20 antibiotics belonging to 8 classes showed that 77.0% (...
Abstract: The innovation of penicillin by Dr Alexander Fleming in 1928 and its use clinical practice saved many lives, especially during the Second World War. Tuberculosis still carries a significant public health threat has re-emerged over past two decades, even modern countries where tuberculosis was thought to be eliminated. Health Organization defines antimicrobial resistance as microorganism an drug that initially effective for treatment infections caused microbe. Therefore, findings...
Abstract Much microbiome research has focused on populations that are predominantly of European descent, and from narrow demographics do not capture the socio-economic lifestyle differences which impact human health. Here we examined airway microbiomes Orang Asli, indigenous peoples Malaysia. A total 130 participants were recruited two sites in north-eastern state Terengganu Peninsular Using 16S rRNA sequencing, nasal was significantly more diverse those aged 5–17 years compared to 50+ ( p =...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a priority nosocomial pathogen with plasmids playing crucial role in its genetic adaptability, particularly the acquisition and spread of antimicrobial resistance. In this study, genome sequences 79 MSRA clinical isolates from Terengganu, Malaysia, (obtained between 2016 2020) along an additional 15 Malaysian MRSA genomes GenBank were analyzed for their plasmid content. The majority (90%, 85/94) harbored 1-4 each. total, 189 identified...
The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) was planned and designed to quantify the educational environment precisely for medical schools health-related professional schools. DREEM is now considered a valid reliable tool, which globally accepted measuring environment. encountered by students has an impact on satisfaction with course of study, perceived sense well-being, aspirations, academic achievement. In addition being measurable, can also be changed, thus enhancing quality...
Introduction: Alternate nostril breathing (ANB) is an effective exercise with therapeutic benefits on cardiorespiratory functions for healthy and diseased individuals. This study was conducted to assess the effects of ANB tasks in adults. Materials Methods: randomized experimental Department Physiology, Chittagong Medical College, Chattogram, from July 2017 June 2018. A total 100 1 st -year students, aged between 18 20 years, were included by a random sampling method. Fifty participants (25...
Abstract: Defining professionalism in this constantly evolving world is not easy. How do you measure degrees of benevolence and compassion? If it so obvious to our profession, what is, then why difficult teach medical students residents? Today's definition – from autonomy accountability, expert opinion evidence-based medicine, self-interest teamwork shared responsibility. However, defined as the basis for trust patient–physician relationship, caring compassion, insight, openness, respect...
The spread of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a public health concern. inducible macrolide-lincosamide-streptogrammin B (iMLSB ) phenotype (or clindamycin resistance) associated with false susceptibility in routine laboratory testing and may lead to treatment failure. Tigecycline resistance remains rare S. worldwide. This study aims determine the antimicrobial profiles clinical isolates obtained from main tertiary hospital Terengganu state, Malaysia, July 2016 June 2017....

Introduction. Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen that has the capacity to develop resistance all classes of antimicrobial compounds. However, very little known regarding its susceptibility biocides (antiseptics and disinfectants) form biofilms, particularly for Malaysian isolates.
 Aim. To determine A. isolates commonly-used biocides, investigate their biofilm-forming capacities prevalence biocide biofilm-associated genes.
 Methodology. The minimum...

Abstract Pilus has been recently associated with pneumococcal pathogenesis in humans. The information regarding piliated isolates Malaysia is scarce, especially the less developed states on east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Therefore, we studied characteristics pneumococci, including isolates, relation to antimicrobial susceptibility, serotypes, and genotypes at a major tertiary hospital A total 100 clinical collected between September 2017 December 2019 were subjected serotyping,...

A total of 153 non-repeat Acinetobacter spp. clinical isolates obtained in 2015 from Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ) Terengganu, Malaysia, were characterized. Identification the at species level was performed by ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) followed sequencing rpoB gene. The majority (n=128; 83.7 %) A. baumannii while rest identified as nosocomialis (n=16), calcoaceticus (n=5), soli (n=2), berezeniae (n=1) and variabilis (n=1). Multidrug resistance (MDR) most prevalent...
Despite the importance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as a priority nosocomial pathogen, genome sequences Malaysian MRSA isolates are currently limited to small pool samples. Here, we present sequence analyses 88 clinical obtained from main tertiary hospital in Terengganu, Malaysia 2016-2020, obtain in-depth insights into their characteristics. The EMRSA-15 (ST22-SCCmec IV) clone clonal complex 22 (CC22) lineage was predominant with total 61 (69.3%) isolates. Earlier...
