A Five-Year Trend Analysis of Antibacterial Resistance Patterns Among Non-fermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli: A Retrospective Study From the ICU Settings of a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Introduction: Non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) infections have emerged as a serious health concern in ICUs. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains of NFGNB can evolve by acquiring resistance genes to at least one agent in three or more antibacterial categories. This study aimed to analyse the prevalence of NFGNB, the distribution of MDR strains, and antibiotic resistance trends of NFGNB in different ICUs of a tertiary care hospital over a period of five years.

Synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial, and pharmacological evaluation of some 2, 5-disubstituted sulfonyl amino 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 2-amino-disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives.

The presence of heterocyclic structures in diverse types of compounds, this is strongly indicative of the profound effect like structure exerts on physiologic activity, and recognition of this is abundantly reflected in efforts to find useful synthetic drugs. The search for better pharmacological active drug and the importance of disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole as active pharmacophores, prompted us to design, synthesize, characterize, and evaluate a series of differently substituted sulfonyl amino 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole for their potential antimicrobial, analgesic and antiinflammatory activity, respectively. New sulfonyl amino 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of thiosemicarbazide in alkaline medium.
