Increase in extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing microbes recent years has led to limitations of treatment options. This study aimed assess the prevalence ESBL E. coli and Klebsiella spp. at a tertiary hospital Nepal.A total 2209 non-repetitive mid-stream urine (MSU) samples were collected during period (March September 2014). Identification isolates was done by Gram's staining followed biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility testing modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method...
In the present study, 24 Azotobacter strains were isolated from soils of different areas southern Rajasthan and characterized at biochemical, functional, molecular levels. The gram negative cyst forming when viewed under microscope. These also screened for their plant growth promoting activities ability these isolates to survive abiotic stress conditions viz. salt, pH, temperature, drought stress. All showed IAA, siderophore, HCN, ammonia production, whereas seven phosphate solubilization....
Nanoparticles show the multidisciplinary versatile utility and are gaining prime place in various fields, such as medicine, electronics, pharmaceuticals, electrical designing, cosmetics, food industries, agriculture, due to their small size large surface volume ratio. Biogenic or green synthesis methods environmentally friendly, economically feasible, rapid, free of organic solvents, reliable over conventional methods. Plant extracts incredible potential biosynthesis metal nanoparticles...
The main aims of this study were to the patterns mutations in rpoB, katG, and inhA genes Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from patients Nepal evaluate performance genotype MTBDRplus assay, taking conventional drug susceptibility testing as gold standard for diagnosis MDR-TB. A total 69 73 smear positive sputum samples suspected suffering multidrug-resistant used our study. pattern these specimens was determined by using assay reference. sensitivity specificity detection MDR-TB...
This study aimed to investigate the antifungal activity of seeds Abrus precatorius L., Datura metel L. and Diploknema butyracea (Roxb.) H.J. Lam against common phytopathogenic fungi. The powdered were extracted by Soxhlet extraction method using methanol as a solvent. Antifungal was performed poison agar technique with different concentrations ranging from 5 20% seed extracts two fungal pathogens - Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense R4 (FocR4) Rhizoctonia spp. Among three plant methanolic at...
Infections caused by beta-lactamases producing Gram-negative bacteria are increasing, thus posing a challenge to the management of such infections. The surveillance data is limited in Nepal so this study aimed detect beta-lactamase tertiary setting. A total 604 clinical samples, including urine, blood, sputum and body fluids, were cultured identified routine standard laboratory protocols. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method following Clinical...
Co-infection of COVID-19 with dengue infection is quite challenging to differentiate due it’s overlapping clinical and laboratory manifestations. We report a 22-year-old female presented Civil Service Hospital, emergency department complaints persistent fever multiple episodes vomiting, headache myalgia. On examination, she was ill-looking, dehydrated low blood. Reverse transcriptase – polymerase chain reaction nasopharyngeal swab detected SARS CoV-2, antibodies IgM detected. She...
