Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the major viral cause of acute lower tract infections in children. Few data about molecular epidemiology developing countries, such as Jordan, are available. The frequency and severity caused by HRSV were assessed hospitalized Jordanian children <5 years age compared with other potential etiological agents. Overall a pathogen was detected 78% (254/326) 43% (140/326) nasopharyngeal aspirates. found more frequently during winter (January/February),...

The misuse of antibiotics is a worldwide public health concern. Behavioral Intervention programs that aim to reduce patients’ own request for during their visit primary care clinics an attractive strategy combat this problem. We tested the effectiveness behavioral modification method known as Tailoring Antimicrobial resistance Programs (TAP) in reducing by patients visiting mild upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). A stratified cluster randomized design with two groups pre-post,...

The emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram negative bacteria has given rise to significant therapeutic challenges. These pathogens may have developed resistance tigecycline, which is an alternative antibiotic used empirically in the treatment serious infections. objectives this study were identify in-vitro activity tigecycline against strains isolated from clinical specimens and their related genes, at a university hospital. For this, 150 isolates cultures various collected. Bacterial...

Abstract Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a life threatening device related infection in intensive care units. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus considered common contagious pathogen causing and sepsis. To assess the prevalence of S comparison to other pathogens, their antibacterial sensitivity profile ventilator-associated pneumonia. Data regarding adults admitted unit, at Jordan University Science Technology Hospital, between 2012 2018 were extracted from computerized system....

Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) may be unrecognized or misidentified in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory resulting under-reporting. Consequently, their role as genuine pathogens remains underestimated.The aim of this study is to suggest a reasonable identification approach that suitable for laboratories limited resources, detect any possible emerging antimicrobial resistance, and assess clinical spectrum infections are caused solely by SAG.Our research included 190 bacterial isolates...
