Background Infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) may pose a threat to hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Pre-transplant surveillance culture of stool and throat swabs guide antibiotic therapy in these groups patients. We have conducted this study determine the profile isolated from swab cultures, their susceptibility pattern, presence MDRO detect post-transplant bloodstream infections tertiary care teaching hospital Kolkata. Methods This cross-sectional was over...
<b>Objective:</b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy modified Hodge test (MHT) and Carba NP for detection carbapenemase production on Gram-negative bacilli (GNB). <b>Materials Methods:</b> A total 816 well-characterized GNB isolated from various clinical samples received both out- hospitalized patients were included in study. Out those, 16.18% (132/816) carbapenem-resistant screening test. MHT carried out all these isolates. <b>Results:</b> 132 isolates screened resistant...
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates surgical site infections SSI is major contributor of healthcare associated (HAI). Multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli are emerging pathogens. This study aimed to determine the magnitude identify predominant pathogens with their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. It a hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional including 2070 suspected specimens from 25809 surgeries between 1July 2021 30 June 2023. Organisms’...
Dengue is a common arthropod-borne life-threatening febrile illness. This disease affects liver functions with an imbalance of enzymes followed by other clinical manifestations. The dengue serotypes can cause asymptomatic infection to more severe versions hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome in West Bengal around the globe. main aim this study establish how different act identifying markers for prognosis early detection (DF). diagnosis patients was confirmed enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
Background and study aim: Onychomycosis is infection of dermatophytes Candida sp, unusually by non-dermatophyte molds (NDM). These NDM are opportunistic fungus seen in plant & soil. Literature on nail mycosis classifies the onychomycosis as Distal Lateral Subungual, White Superficial, Proximal Total Dystrophic secondary onychomycosis. The aim this to determine prevalence Molds causing Patients Methods: Samples from clinical cases were studied our Mycology dept. over a period 1 year January,...
A BSTRACT Introduction: Similar presenting manifestations in early phase and lack of awareness aetiology acute febrile illness (AFI) are major challenges management AFI. Material Methods: This was a retrospective observational cross-sectional study conducted the Department Microbiology, NRS Medical College, from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023 serologically diagnosed patients attending outpatient department or admitted. Clinical epidemiological data laboratory parameters were recorded pretested...
Background: Non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) were initially considered non-pathogenic contaminants but now have emerged as major pathogens because of increased isolation from clinical samples and emerging resistance to common antibacterial agents. Objectives: The study aims determine the magnitude NFGNB in received at Department Microbiology, Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College, Kolkata, for a period one year. Material Methods: processed according standard procedures; identification...
BACKGROUND: One of the major causes neonatal morbidity and mortality in India is bacterial sepsis.AIM: To evaluate profile sepsis cases hospital.STUDY DESIGN: A prospective pilot study was conducted.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blood cultures were done from all neonates admitted with signs over a period two months tertiary care hospital serving rural population.Bacti Alert system (Bio-Merieux) used this identification by biochemical tests.RESULTS: 72 included out which 23 (33%) had positive blood...

Background: Scrub typhus is prevalent in many districts of South Bengal throughout the year where an average temperature 20–35°C, which contributes to spread Leptotrombidium deliense. However, its diagnosis remains complicated by lack readily available and validated assays, non-specificity clinical symptoms on admission, even non-availability pathognomonic eschar most cases. Aims Objectives: This study was carried out evaluate rapid immunochromatographic test (RICT) for early detection scrub...
A three day old baby delivered at B. S. Medical College Hospital, Bankura developed features of neonatal septicaemia two days after normal delivery.Patient's blood culture sample was processed in BacT/Alert 3D Automated system.Positive growth signal obtained 48 hrs.Subculture on solid non-selective and selective media, morphological studies including typical motilities standard recommended bio-chemical tests revealed the isolate to be Listeria monocytogenes.Antibiogram further corroborated...
