Evidence-based prescribing is essential to optimise patient outcomes in cystitis. This requires knowledge of local antibiotic resistance rates. DASH Protect Antibiotics (https://dashuti.com/) a multicentric mentorship programme guiding centres preparing, analysing and disseminating antibiograms promote antimicrobial stewardship community UTI. Here we map the susceptibility profile Escherichia coli from 22 Indian centres. These spanned 10 States three Union Territories. Antibiograms for...

Knowledge of local antibiotic susceptibility rates is essential to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship programs. DASH Protect Antibiotics (https://dashuti.com/), promotes the dissemination focused antibiograms in community urinary tract infection (UTI). This study mapped profile Klebsiella pneumoniae from 18 Indian centers. The centers spanned nine States and three Union Territories. Urinary K. outpatient clinic were collated analyzed. Standardization was achieved through online training....

Comamonas testosteroni (formally Pseudomonas testosteroni) is common environmental bacterium that not part of the human microbiome. Since its identification as a pathogen in 1987, numerous reports have drizzled in, implicating this organism for various infections. Although these organisms are low virulence, some their obscurity perhaps due to incapability clinical laboratories identify them. Most reported cases bloodstream We report case gastroenteritis caused by 65-year-old female with...

ICU-acquired infections are a challenging health problem worldwide as the patient’s immunity is already compromised and these usually caused by MDR pathogens. In ICUs inanimate surfaces equipment may be contaminated bacteria. Cross-transmission of microorganisms from have significant role for infections. Contamination result HCWs hands or direct patient shedding This study was conducted to determine rate bacterial contamination on environmental care workers ICU our hospital. Swabs healthcare...

Introduction: Evidence-based prescribing in cystitis requires knowledge of local antibiotic resistance rates; national guidelines may not be representative across a country as large and complex India. Accordingly, DASH to Protect Antibiotics is multicentric mentorship programme guiding Indian centres preparing, analysing disseminating their own antibiograms promote stewardship community UTI. Material Methods: Twenty-two were recruited, spanning 10 States three Union Territories. Using...
