E. histolytica, a pathogenic amoeba, is indistinguishable in its cyst and trophozoite stages from those of non-pathogenic moshkovskii dispar by light microscopy. We have developed nested multiplex PCR targeting 16S-like rRNA gene for differential detection all the three morphologically similar forms simultaneously stool samples.The species specific product size was 439, 553 174 bp respectively, which clearly different Entamoeba species. The showed sensitivity 94% specificity 100%...
Knowledge of the incidence ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and its associated risk factors is imperative for development use more effective preventive measures.We performed a prospective study over period 15 months to determine VAP in critically ill adult patients admitted different intensive care units (ICUs) Jawaharlal Institute Post-graduate Medical Education Research (JIPMER), tertiary hospital Pondicherry, India.The was 30.67 15.87 per 1,000 ventilator days two ICUs. In our 58.3%...
Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent intensive-care-unit (ICU)-acquired infection. The aetiology of VAP varies with different patient populations and types ICUs.A prospective study was performed over a period 15 months in tertiary care hospital to determine various aetiological agents causing prevalence multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens. Combination disk method, Modified Hodge test, EDTA synergy (EDS) test AmpC were for detection extended spectrum beta-lactamases...
The study was performed to identify the important bacterial pathogens responsible for wound infections secondary snakebite and determine their antimicrobial susceptibility.All cases of infection were included in this retrospective study. Infected tissues surgically debrided inoculated on blood agar MacConkey aerobic culture, followed by susceptibility testing isolates Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.Staphylococcus aureus (32%) most common isolate Escherichia coli (15%); monomicrobial more...
Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) consist of Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm (Necator americanus Ancylostoma duodenale). It affects nearly 1.7 billion people globally in which contributes 1.2 cases. The main mode for transmission is through contaminated food water, whereas transmitted by skin penetration. STH were mainly seen areas with poverty, overcrowding, poor sanitation. prevalence more rural compared to urban areas. children causes lack school attendance, anemia,...
The increasing prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) has abated therapeutic options worldwide. This study was undertaken to investigate the molecular profile and resistance patterns ESBLs among clinical isolates Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae at four tertiary care centres in India.Clinical E. K. were collected from All India Institute Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi; Jawaharlal Postgraduate Education & Research (JIPMER), Puducherry; (PGIMER), Chandigarh Christian...
Parasitic diseases, including malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis, continue to plague populations worldwide, particularly in resource-limited settings disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. It has limited the use of conventional health-care delivery disease control approaches necessitated exploring innovative strategies. In this direction, artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as a transformative tool with immense promise parasitic control, offering potential for...
Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to establish 'Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network' in India and monitor the antimicrobial susceptibility profile clinical isolates a national network across country for monitoring resistance Salmonella. Materials Methods: This conducted at All Institute Medical Sciences, nodal centre with Salmonellae collected from four centres India, which included Christian College, Vellore; Postgraduate Education Research, Chandigarh Jawaharlal...
Purpose: Routine surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an essential component measures aimed to tackle the growing threat resistant microbes in public health. This study presents a 1-year multicentre report on AMR Staphylococcus species as part Indian Council Medical Research-AMR network. Materials and Methods: was routinely collected nodal regional centres network susceptibility testing performed against panel antimicrobials. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values...
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for causing nosocomial infections. A. develops resistance to various antimicrobial agents including carbapenems, thereby complicating the treatment. This study was performed characterize isolates presence of β-lactamases encoding genes and type compare our clones with existing international across five centres in India.A total 75 non-repetitive clinical from different were included this study. All confirmed as by bl...
Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) and pyogenic abscesses (PLA) appear identical by ultrasound other imaging techniques. Collection of blood or pus for diagnosis is an invasive procedure, the procedure requires technical expertise disposable syringes. urine a noninvasive procedure. Therefore, there has been much interest shown towards use as alternative clinical specimen some parasitic infections. Here, we report first time detection E. histolytica DNA excreted in cases ALA. was detected 80.4% ALA...
Gut colonization with Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) increases the risk of acquiring infection during hospital stay. Patients admitted in ICU's are major reservoirs for VRE due to higher antibiotic pressure.To determine rate among patients Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and assess various factors which associated colonization.This was a prospective study carried out over period 18 months from September 2013 February 2015 Jawaharlal Institute Post graduate Education Research...
