Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a cause of significant morbidity and mortality requiring urgent antibiotic treatment. However, there is widespread antibiotic-resistance from the bacterial causes, necessitating regular surveillance for drug-resistant bacteria and their antibiograms.
Objective: This study isolated and identified various bacterial causes of BSIs, determined their antibiotic susceptibility patterns, and determined the best empirical treatment for cases of BSI in the setting.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the resistive indices (RIs) of fetal umbilical and middle cerebral arteries and the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in fetuses of women with hypertension.
- A total of 150 pregnant women (75 with pregnancy-induced hypertension and 75 healthy) underwent Doppler ultrasound examinations to compare the RIs and CPR.
- Findings revealed that women with hypertension showed higher umbilical artery RI, lower middle cerebral artery RI, and lower CPR, particularly those with proteinuria, indicating potential risks for the fetus.
