Case Report of Pediatric Osteomyelitis: A Double Whammy of Unusual Etiology and Antibiotic Susceptibility.

Introduction: Osteomyelitis is one of the infrequent presentations of Salmonella infection. Most of the case reports are among adult patients. It is very rare in children, and is most often associated with hemoglobinopathies or other predisposing clinical conditions.

Two Case Reports of Bacteremia: An Overlooked Pathogen.

, due to its robust survival abilities, has been known to cause nosocomial and opportunistic infections, posing both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Low virulence, indolent clinical presentation, and lack of awareness on their clinical significance attribute to the underreporting of the same. We report two cases of bacteremia in oncology patients presented to us in a short span of 6 months, which indicates that such infections might be quite common in immunocompromised hosts.

Molecular Characterization of Extended Spectrum β-lactamase and Carbapenemase Producing from a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Objective: The extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacteria among the members of Enterobacteriaceae are of major health concern globally. The present study was carried out to determine proportion and genetic characterization of ESBL and carbapenemase producing strains isolated from intensive care units of a tertiary care hospital.

Materials And Methods: A total of 250 non-duplicate isolates were recovered from various clinical specimens from our intensive care units from May 2014 to May 2015.

Trends in antibiotic susceptibility of enteric fever isolates from South India, 2002-2013.

Background: Enteric fever is endemic in India. Trends in antibiotic resistance in subspecies serovars Typhi and Paratyphi A isolates over the past 12 years were studied.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of consecutive blood culture isolates of Typhi and Paratyphi A was performed from 2002 to 2013.
