The First-Ever Encounter with Serovar Hvittingfoss Causing Acute Gastroenteritis in India: A Case Report.

serovar Hvittingfoss, a member of the non-typhoidal group, is an important foodborne serovar most frequently identified in regions (Australia, Belgium, and the United States) with active surveillance systems. This serovar has been implicated in outbreaks of foodborne illness. Soft cheese, crab cocktail, beef, and rock melon are commonly involved in these outbreaks.

Uropathogenic Pan-Drug-Resistant Providencia rettgeri Infection in a Patient With an Indwelling Urinary Catheter: A Case Report.

This case report details the clinical management and implications of infection with pan-drug-resistant in a 50-year-old male admitted and diagnosed with acute peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation, highlighting an emerging challenge in healthcare settings. Following emergency laparotomy and intensive care admission, the patient was catheterized to assist urine drainage and subsequent urine bacterial culture which yielded pan-drug-resistant , signifying a notable instance of nosocomial infection by a multi-drug-resistant organism. Despite the organism's resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics, clinical improvement was observed with levofloxacin treatment, underlining the potential discrepancy between in vitro resistance patterns and in vivo response, particularly in urinary tract infections (UTIs) where urine drug concentrations are pivotal.

In Vitro Synergistic Effect of Colistin with Fosfomycin Against Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Background: The dwindling antibiotic reserve owing to augmented drug-resistant bacteria is a major handicap for treating physicians. , a gram-negative encapsulated member of family, is one such pathogenic bacteria. Carbapenemase-producing globally recognized as one of the most critical bacterial threats to public health due to its extremely limited treatment options.

Ceftriaxone-resistant serovar Newport: a case report from South India.

serovar Newport is a human pathogen underreported in most developing countries. It is known for causing gastroenteritis and extraintestinal infections. In this case report, we report the case of ceftriaxone-resistant serovar Newport from South India, causing acute gastroenteritis in a sixty-year-old female patient having a history of antimicrobial therapy and recent hospital admission.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Isolates from Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

The association of tuberculosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus has been a recognized re-emerging challenge in management of the convergence of the two epidemics. Though much of the literature has studied this association, there is less knowledge in the field of genetic diversities that might occur in strains infecting tuberculosis patients with and without diabetes. Our study focused on determining the extent of diversity of genotypes of in both these categories of patients.

Ceftriaxone Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Kentucky as a Cause of Bacteremia and Gastroenteritis: A Case Report.

Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky is an emerging human pathogen in developed countries and also a concern for public health in developing countries. Although genus Salmonella is usually susceptible to many antimicrobial agents, a recent increase in resistance has become a cause for concern. A case of ceftriaxone resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky causing bacteremia and acute gastroenteritis is reported in this paper.

Rapid identification of carbapenemases by CarbAcineto NP test and the rate of beta-lactamases among from a teaching hospital.

Background And Objectives: has emerged as a major organism accounting for hospital acquired infections particularly in intensive care units. Due to production of different kinds of beta lactamases these bacteria have developed drug resistance rendering the treatment of such infections very difficult and expensive. Rapid identification of producing such beta-lactamases is the need of the hour in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infections.

Study of bacterial flora associated with mobile phones of healthcare workers and non-healthcare workers.

Background And Objectives: Despite improvements in modern diagnosis and therapies, hospital acquired infections remain a leading problem of global health systems. Healthcare workers mobile phones is a reservoir for potential pathogens. Despite the high possibility of being contaminated, mobile phones are rarely clean and are often touched during or after examination of patients and handling of specimens without proper hand washing.
