Neonatal Meningitis and Septicemia Caused by Multidrug-Resistant Identified by 16s Ribosomal RNA: An Emerging Threat.

infections are emerging, especially among premature newborns, immunocompromised, and critically ill patients. The importance of correctly identifying this Gram-negative organism lies in the fact that it is associated with fatal complications such as meningitis, acute pulmonary edema, congestive cardiac failure, septic shock, and death. In addition, it is inherently resistant to multiple antibiotics which are used to treat Gram-negative bacilli.

subsp. , an emerging multidrug-resistant bacterium, as a causative agent of septicaemia in cancer patients.

Staphylococcus hominis subsp. novobiosepticus is a new sub-species of S. hominis, thus dividing S.

Achromobacter Xylosoxidans Bloodstream Infection in Elderly Patient with Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Achromobacter xylosoxidansis a nonfermentative Gram-negative organism, known to cause opportunistic infection in humans. We report a case of septicemia in a 76-year-old male patient with underlying hepatocellular carcinoma due to A. xylosoxidans, which showed a different antimicrobial susceptibility pattern from what is usually reported.

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Uropathogens: An Experience from North Indian Cancer Patient.

Empirical treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be made evidence based if it is governed by the resistance pattern of common uropathogens. A retrospective study was carried out at a tertiary care cancer institute to identify the common uropathogens and to know their resistance profile. 20.
