Current evidence on vertical transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and neonatal outcome among exposed newborns is emerging posing a challenge for preventive interventions. Perinatal to the neonates especially during breastfeeding rooming in also relatively unknown.This prospective observational study was conducted Kalinga Institute Medical Science (KIMS), Odisha state from 1st May 20th October 2020. A total 165 born SARS-CoV-2 infected mothers were...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are predominantly caused by bacteria, with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae being predominant causative agents. This retrospective study evaluated the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of E. K. isolates obtained from urine culture patients UTI symptoms presenting at Pradyumna Bal Memorial Hospital, Kalinga Institute Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswarr, Odisha. With increasing resistance, particularly in bacterial strains that synthesize extended-spectrum...
Background: Multidrug resistance has emerged as a challenge in health care settings. Again increasing prevalence of multidrug resistant (MDR), extensively drug (XDR) and pan (PDR) gram negative bacteria is making the condition more critical because limited options antibiotics, morbidity, mortality hospital stay patients. The present study carried out with an aim to estimate MDR, XDR, PDR tertiary hospital.Methods: Total 912 bacterial isolates obtained from various samples indoor patients...
Nearly one-third of neonatal mortality in India is due to sepsis and death occurs 30% culture-positive neonates. Pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae Escherichia coli are the most common bacteria responsible for South Asia.It was an observational study, conducted special newborn care units (SNCUs) Capital Hospital Bhubaneswar, Odisha from May 2017 October 2019. All neonates (<28 days life) with blood were included this study. Blood cultures sent all babies features clinical sepsis. The...
The rising incidence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales and
Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a multidrug organism emerging as major cause of hospital acquired infection. In healthcare setup patient may acquire MRSA through the hands, clothes and equipments health care workers. Screening workers colonised with will be helpful in preventing spread this hospital. With background present study was undertaken to estimate carriage rate among our hospital.Methods: Nasal swabs were collected from 120 working Kalinga Institute...
In recent years, a wide range of clinical infections are being caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This is matter great concern, as have fewer treatment options. The Enterobacterales comprises large group bacterial species commonly causing in healthcare settings. most common bacteria Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae, which can cause both nosocomial community-acquired infections. study aimed to determine the prevalence P....
Introduction Data are scarce on the hematological and biochemical changes caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in neonates. This study aimed to compare parameters SARS-CoV-2-positive neonates with healthy born mothers diagnosed disease 2019 (COVID-19) assess severity both groups. Methodology prospective observational was conducted at a COVID-19 hospital Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, from May 1 November 30, 2020....
The incidence of acute post-operative endophthalmitis (APOE) following cataract surgery in India is comparable to most the developed world despite performing high-volume surgery. Most infections are caused by bacteria, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species being predominant pathogens, which similar findings published literatures. However, there also a significant number seen be Gram-negative bacteria fungus. Amid microbes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa common organism followed Acinetobacter spp....
Non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) infections have emerged as a serious health concern in ICUs. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains of NFGNB can evolve by acquiring resistance genes to at least one agent three or more antibacterial categories. This study aimed analyse the prevalence NFGNB, distribution MDR strains, and antibiotic trends different ICUs tertiary care hospital over period five years.
Background: Needle stick injury (NSI) is one of the significant and serious health hazards encountered by healthcare workers (HCWs), as it a risk factor for transmission blood-borne infections like HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV) C (HCV). This study aims to describe frequency distribution NSIs reported in institution over period four years, factors associated with immediate post-exposure prophylaxis administered. Methods: A record-based retrospective analysis suffered HCWs working Pradyumna Bal...
Introduction In India, blood culture-positive sepsis results in mortality 33%-35% of affected neonates. Nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB), particularly Acinetobacter baumannii and Burkholderia cepacia commonly cause hospital-acquired infection. Materials methods We performed a subgroup analysis as part prospective study conducted neonatal intensive care unit tertiary hospital Odisha, between January 2017 December 2020. Neonates with caused by NFGNB were enrolled this study....

BACKGROUND Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is an emerging pathogen causing meningitis, pneumonia, endocarditis, bacteremia, sepsis, wound & soft tissue infections, abdominal, respiratory and ocular dialysis associated peritonitis prosthesis septic arthritis, especially in immunodeficient hosts of various age groups. The prevalence nosocomial infection by E. has increased, predominantly patients with invasive procedures, prior use broad-spectrum antimicrobial co-morbid conditions. We...
