We have isolated the new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 variant of concern 202 012/01 from positive coronavirus disease 2019 cases that travelled UK to India in month December 2020. This emphasizes need for strengthened surveillance system limit local transmission this variant.
BackgroundHealth Care Workers (HCWs) are at higher risk for Covid19. Sero-surveillance among HCWs using IgG antibodies can add further value to the scientific findings.ObjectivesTo estimate seropositivity and correlate it with various factors affecting seropositivity.MethodsPopulation based large scale sero-surveillance was carried out during second half of August'20 in Ahmedabad "Covid-Kavach" Antibody Detection ELISA kits. Seropositivity estimated compared demographic & other understand...
Background: Candida species can be either commensals or opportunistic pathogens with the capacity to bring about several infections, extending from superficial life-threatening. Nosocomial infections owing are also getting progressively significant. Early and precise diagnosis, correct treatment, prohibition of candidemia biofilms create a big task for microbiologists clinicians worldwide. In addition this is emerging trend antifungal drug resistance among biofilm-producing strains...
Ahmedabad city with approximately 7 million population was one of the earliest cities to witness high case load COVID-19 pandemic in India. A population-based sero-survey ideally suited guide public health response for managing pandemic.To study percentage sero-positivity SARS-CoV-2 understand status and deriving conclusions guiding measures pandemic.Population-based cross-sectional sero-surveillance.Large scale sero-surveillance stratified sampling covering more than 10,000 samples from...
Introduction:Non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB)have emerged as important healthcareassociated pathogens. NFGNBs are innately resistant to many antibiotics and known acquire resistance by producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase. This makes treatment of infections caused these pathogens both difficult expensive. Therefore, this study is undertaken with the aim identification NFGNB their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in our hospital. Material Method: A total 3233 specimens...
This case study presents a rare instance of diabetic foot wound infection caused by Paratyphi B in 44-year-old male with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Though species are typically associated enteric fever and gastrointestinal manifestations, some like can rarely cause as presented this case. The patient underwent antibiotic treatment eventually required surgical amputation the affected toe due to infection's chronic nature. underscores importance unusual pathogens infections highlights B's...
Background: Urinary tract infections are amongst the most common encountered in clinical practice. Area specific monitoring studies aimed to gain knowledge about type of pathogens responsible for UTIs and their resistance patterns may help clinician choose correct empirical treatment. Objective: We study antibiotic pattern urinary isolated from patients our tertiary care hospital. Methods: This observational was conducted at N.H.L. Medical College V.S. Hospital, Ahmedabad Gujarat, India...
Standard precautions are the backbone of any efficient infection control program. Compliance with standard has been a major challenge for health care workers, especially in developing countries. To access impact training program on workers (HCW) knowledge, attitude, and practice towards precautions. We conducted an interventional Knowledge, Attitude, Practice (KAP) study among 150 HCW (50 Doctors, 50 Nurses, Technicians) tertiary hospital from June 2019 to December 2019. carried out...
BACKGROUND Non fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are a group of heterogenous, aerobic and non-sporing saprophytic bacteria, found as commensals in humans other animals primarily causing opportunistic healthcare-associated infections. They innately resistant to many antibiotics known acquire resistance by various mechanisms. pose particular difficulty for the healthcare community because multidrug is common increasing among them number strains have now been identified that exhibit pan...
