The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on the 11 th of March 2020.Since then, many efforts are being carried out to contain virus.Knowledge and attitude people should be directed towards strict preventive practices in order halt spread virus.The aim current cross-sectional study is assess knowledge, practice university students from medical non-medical colleges Jordan using structured questionnaire involving total number 592 students.A positive response regarding...
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) can cause gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases and gastric carcinoma. Endoscopy as the gold standard method of diagnosis is an invasive procedure that might not be suitable in all scenarios. Therefore, this first study Jordan aimed to assess non-invasive 13C urea breath test (UBT) stool antigen for H. infection successfulness eradication therapy alternatives endoscopy. Hence, a total 30 patients attending endoscopy units at Alkarak teaching hospital were asked...
Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is a highly virulent zoonotic pathogen primarily affecting domesticated and wild herbivores. Human exposure to B. anthracis through contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. In Pakistan, where livestock vaccines are largely unavailable carcasses often disposed improperly, risk humans, wildlife significant. Currently, diagnosis anthrax infections outbreak tracing necessitates isolation culturing process that requires...
Introduction: A high rate of infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been documented, in both hospital- (HA-MRSA) and community-acquired (CA-MRSA) diseases Jordan. Erythromycin clindamycin are considered treatments choice. However, resistance to erythromycin false susceptibility vitro may lead therapeutic failure. Hence, it is mandatory study the prevalence inducible macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (iMLSB) antibiotics conferred by erm genes those...
Little is known of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPK) in Jordan. This study aimed to determine the prevalence CPK a major hospital Amman, Jordan 2012-2013 and characterize isolates detect types carbapenemase(s) they produced. For 296 investigated, species identification antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined (Vitek II, bioMérieux). Isolates with decreased ertapenem susceptibility tested for production using Modified Hodge Test. carbapenemase-positive phenotype...
Staphylococcal infections have high occurrence in Jordanian patients. This study was carried out to determine the rates of high- and low-level mupirocin resistance (MupH MupL) among staphylococci with molecular characterization. Two hundred thirty-two non-duplicate Staphylococcus spp. isolated from different clinical specimens were tested for susceptibility using disk diffusion method minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Resistance genes clone relatedness studied polymerase chain reaction...
We sought to detect and determine the genetic diversity of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) isolated from clinical specimens in Amman, Jordan. From five hospitals, a total 2,759 isolates had antimicrobial susceptibilities determined via Vitek II, which 28 (1%) were carbapenem resistant. Species identifications matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry carbapenemase gene detection real-time PCR indicated that 23 (82.1%) Klebsiella pneumoniae...
Background and aim Colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) increases the risk for subsequent infections an increased mortality morbidity. Children were suggested to be a major asymptomatic reservoir community-associated (CA) MRSA ability quickly spread within community. Therefore, availability of epidemiological antibiotic susceptibility data CA-MRSA will useful infection control management policies. This study aimed assess nasal carriage, molecular...
Endometrial and cervical carcinomas are the most common gynecologic malignancies in Western world many countries. The human papillomavirus (HPV) high-risk genotypes associated with carcinoma (CC). Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis), sexually transmitted bacterial infection worldwide, considered a cofactor for HPV CC. Information on rate type distribution among Jordanian women having CC is currently limited unavailable those endometrial carcinoma. Therefore, present study aimed to provide...
Background and Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major concern in Jordanian hospitals terms of infection control. The purpose this study was to identify the resistance patterns strains isolated from surfaces critical locations within Al-Karak Governmental Hospital 2019. Additionally, aimed conduct whole-genome sequencing on isolates. Materials Methods: In February 2019, fourteen S. were sites Hospital. These isolates underwent antibiogram testing determine...
Around half of the global population is chronically infected with stomach bacterium
Plant extracts are traditionally used for treating many infectious and non- diseases. This study aimed at assessing the inhibitory effect of ethanol two medicinal plants; Mediterranean Sage (Salvia libanotica) Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) on clinical community strains methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Ethanol plants were tested their antibacterial against 25 (n=15, 60%) (n=10, 40%) MRSA. demonstrated activity all isolates, 50μl 100 mg/ml each plant extract yielded...
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been associated with gastritis, gastric ulcer, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and cancer. The prevalence of H. virulence genes have studied in different populations from sources samples but their not dental plaque Jordanian people; therefore, the aim this study was to determine genotypes isolated samples.Dental were collected 60 volunteers. including cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) vacuolating toxin (vacA) determined using...
Control of Staphylococcal infections is difficult, especially decreasing the incidence methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among hospitalized patients. Meanwhile, medicinal plants have many traditional claims including treatment ailments infectious origin. Four Jordanian plants, Salvia libanotica, Rosmarinus officinalis, Capparis spinosa, and Achillea fragrantissima used by medical practitioners were investigated for in vitro anti-MRSA activity. The objective study was to...
Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) can act as asymptomatic carriers in transmitting Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Availability of epidemiological and antibiotic susceptibility data is necessary to limit the spread HCWs-associated MRSA infections, help physicians choosing appropriate empirical for management such infections. Objective: assess nasal carriage antibiogram healthcare from Southern Jordan. Methods: a total 276 swabs were randomly collected HCWs. was...
Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance is considered one of the foremost global public health challenges, and its prevalence increasing. In Jordan, particularly in Al-Karak Governorate, there a lack sufficient data on antimicrobial to make accurate assessments. The main aim current study was evaluate antibiotic trends clinical specimens from 2022 assess patterns. emphasis WHO classification as Access, Watch, Reserved (AWaRe) adopted study. Results: Among Gram-positive bacteria,...
Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis (B.anthracis), is an important zoonotic disease of livestock that poses a threat to public safety.The present study aimed determine the seroprevalence in sheep and cattle endemic areas (Punjab Balochistan provinces) Pakistan enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Crosssectional survey was also done assess control measures farmers.Out 401 serum samples from cattle, total 68 (16.9%) were seropositive for anti-PA antibodies; B. 22.11% (48/217) 10.86%...
Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are common organisms associated with urinary tract infections. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on antibiotics misuse globally. This study analyzed the antibiotic susceptibility for these two pathogens isolated from urine samples during period of 18 months before after pandemic.This retrospective was conducted in Al-Karak government referral teaching hospital Jordan. included groups; group A September 2018 to March 11, 2020, while B...
Anthrax, a severe zoonotic disease, is infrequently reported in anthrax-endemic regions of Pakistan. Despite clinical reports indicating its presence, particularly cutaneous anthrax, there insufficient laboratory evidence regarding disease occurrence and environmental persistence. The present study aimed to confirm Bacillus anthracis accountable for animal mortality human infection, while exploring transmission factors. Between March 2019 July 2021, total 19 outbreaks were documented. Of...
