EDITORIAL COMMENT: We accepted this paper for publication to remind readers that women who are receiving thyroxine replacement therapy hypothyroidism require dose surveillance during pregnancy. The 2 cases diagnosed pregnancy of rare interest. For comparison the incidence and perinatal results we reviewed experience with at Mercy Hospital Women, Melbourne, 10 years, 1980–1989. There were 51,407 confinements time, including 55 pregnancies in 23 hypothyroidism. In series only deaths neonatal...
"A Roadmap to Tackle the Challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance - A Joint meeting Medical Societies in India" was organized as a pre-conference symposium 2 nd annual conference Clinical Infectious Disease Society (CIDSCON 2012) at Chennai on 24 th August. This first ever medical societies India issue tackling resistance, with plan formulate road map tackle global challenge antimicrobial resistance from Indian perspective. We had representatives most India, eminent policy makers both central...
The Indian Council of Medical Research, in 2013, initiated the Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance & Research Network (AMRSN) to enable compilation data on six pathogenic groups antimicrobial resistance from country. overarching aim this network was understand extent and pattern (AMR) use evidence guide strategies control spread AMR. This article describes conception implementation AMR surveillance for India. Also described are challenges, limitations benefits approach. Data have shown...
Background There is a paucity of data on the epidemiology sepsis in outborn neonates being referred to level-3 units low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The objective present study was evaluate prevalence outcomes with sepsis, characterize pathogen profile antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns common isolates them. Methods In this prospective observational cohort (2011–2015), dedicated research team enrolled all admitted an neonatal unit followed them until discharge/death. Sepsis...
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in clinical practice worldwide both healthcare and community settings causing significant morbidity mortality. It major conditions at level treated empirically regarded as a potential cause emergence antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Limited information available regarding community-acquired UTI (CA-UTI) from India.This first its kind, multicentric-cross-sectional study targeting patients attending out-patient department (OPD)...
Acinetobacter baumannii has been identified by the Infectious Diseases Society of America as one six pathogens that cause majority hospital infections. Increased resistance A.baumannii even to latest generation β-lactams like carbapenem is an immediate threat mankind. As inner-membrane fraction plays a significant role in survival A.baumannii, we investigated proteome carbapenem-resistant strain using Differential In-Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE) followed DeCyder, Progenesis and LC-MS/MS...
The development of multidrug resistance in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi currently forms a major roadblock for the treatment enteric fever. This poses health problem endemic regions and extends to travellers returning from developing countries. appearance fluoroquinolone non-susceptible strains has resulted use ceftriaxone as drug choice with azithromycin being recommended uncomplicated cases typhoid A recent sporadic instance decreased susceptibility latest regime necessitated detailed...
Antibiotic resistance poses a major threat to public health. More effective ways of the antibiotic prescription are needed delay spread resistance. Employment sequencing technologies coupled with use trained neural network algorithms for genotype-to-phenotype prediction will reduce time susceptibility profile identification from days hours. In this work, we have sequenced and phenotypically characterized 171 clinical isolates Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae Norway India. Based on...
The rise in multidrug-resistant (MDR) ESKAPE bacteria have become a major therapeutic challenge globally. Recently, novel cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) as an antimicrobial is becoming popular. In this study, indigenously developed AC CAP jet (CAPJ) fed with argon gas was used to evaluate its efficacy on these isolated from clinical specimens, such urine, blood, and sputum tertiary care hospital India. difference CAP's activity Gram-negative bacilli (MDR E. coli) Gram-positive cocci...
Widespread use of fluoroquinolones has resulted in emergence Salmonella typhi strains with decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones. These are identifiable by their nalidixic acid-resistance. We studied the impact infection acid-resistant S. (NARST) on clinical outcomes patients bacteriologically-confirmed typhoid fever.Clinical and laboratory features, fever clearance time complications were prospectively blood culture-proven fever, treated at a tertiary care hospital north India,...
The widespread resistance in Gram-negative bacteria has necessitated evaluation of the use older antimicrobials such as polymyxins. In present study we evaluated different susceptibility testing methods for polymyxins B and E against using new Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.The 281 multidrug-resistant (MDR) (GNB) to polymyxin was evaluated, comparing broth microdilution (BMD; reference method), agar dilution, E-test, disk diffusion. Disk diffusion also performed...
Despite acute respiratory infections being a major cause of death among children in developing countries including India, there is lack community-based studies that document its burden and aetiology. A dynamic cohort aged 0–10 years was established four villages north Indian state Haryana from August 2012 onwards. Trained health workers conducted weekly home visits to screen for infection (ARI) defined as one the following: cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, earache/discharge, or...
SUMMARY Two-hundred MRSA strains from inpatients with healthcare-associated (HA) and 100 outpatients community-associated (CA) skin soft tissue infections (SSTIs) were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC ) typing, Panton–Valentine leucocidin (PVL) toxin, seh arcA genes. Based on SCC HA-MRSA isolates further divided into HA-SCC I/II/III IV/V MRSA, CA-MRSA CA-SCC MRSA. types characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, spa typing...
