Economic and Diagnostic Biomarker Tests of Neonatal Sepsis: A Prospective Study from a Tertiary Care Hospital in a Low-Income Country.

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). There are several sophisticated biomarkers; however, they are still insufficient in precision. In this perspective, our study aims to search for a pragmatic diagnostic biomarker in the age category.

A comparison of techniques to address the frequency of Helicobacter pylori positive dyspeptic patient.

Objectives: The study was aimed to compare the diagnostic techniques, for the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection, available in low-income countries, where molecular testing is not available or inaccessible to anyone.

Results: Of total enrolled patient, with the mean age of 41.4 ± 13.

Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection and Obstinate Biofilm Producers.

Background: Biofilms, or colonies of uropathogen growing on the surface of indwelling medical devices, can inflict obstinate or recurring infection, thought-provoking antimicrobial therapy.

Methods: This prospective analysis included 105 urine samples from catheterized patients receiving intensive care. Ensuing phenotypic identification, antibiotic sensitivity test was performed by modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method following CLSI guidelines; MDR isolates were identified according to the combined guidelines of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
