Fatal Soft Tissue Polymicrobial Infections in Two Immunocompetent Cases: Case Report.

Background: Clostridium sporogenes is reported rarely in literature. Reports from the skin and soft tissue infections are even less, more so in immunocompetent patients.

Case Presentation: Two skin and soft tissue infections with C.

evaluation of antibiotic synergy for carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates.

Background & Objectives: The prevalence of severe infections due to carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains has increased worldwide. With rising resistance to polymyxins, the treatment has become challenging. Given the paucity of novel agents and limited data on combination therapy for CRKP, the present study was performed to test antibiotic combinations, for synergy against clinical isolates of CRKP.

Quinolone Susceptibility in Isolates Based on Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Determination.

Typhoid fever, caused by and , is a generalized infection with case fatality of about 10%. The symptoms may be severe, with life threatening sequelae of infection in a proportion of cases. Antimicrobial agents are the mainstay of therapy in enteric fever so as to prevent the complications associated with severe illness and mortality in the patients.

Detection of various beta-Lactamases in and sp.: A study from Tertiary Care Centre of North India.

Objective: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species is a global threat. We aimed to compare two phenotypic methods and evaluate the genotypic method for the detection of beta-lactamases produced by E. coli and Klebsiella spp.
