Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) poses a serious threat in healthcare, with high mortality rates, leading to a study focused on analyzing specific genes in CRAB and testing antimicrobial combinations.
- The study utilized several methods, including the Modified Hodge Test for phenotypic characterization, Polymerase Chain Reaction for molecular analysis, and bioinformatics tools for mutational analysis, revealing multiple resistant genes and significant mutations.
- Despite examining various antimicrobial combinations, the results indicated no synergistic effects against CRAB, emphasizing the need for new treatment strategies to combat these resistant strains effectively.
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)-associated infections are one of the major threats to public health. The aim of the present study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern, as well as the genetic characterization, of methicillin and vancomycin-resistant S.

The aim of the present study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern as well as the genetic characterization of methicillin and vancomycin resistant (VRSA) isolated from a tertiary care hospital in Lahore. The were isolated from different clinical samples, identified by biochemical testing, and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing by disc diffusion method or broth microdilution method.

Methods: A total of 182 HCWs with different occupations and working in different hospital units as well as 198 non-HCWs were recruited. Nasal swab samples were collected and were inoculated on mannitol salt agar and incubated at 35°C for 48h.

Background: Hepatitis C is a very common blood-borne disease of liver caused by Hepatitis C Virus and about two third of these patients will ultimately end up having liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. This study was carried out to determine the sociodemographic status of the hepatitis C infected patients visiting tertiary care hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan.
Methods: This study was conducted during the months of October and November 2009.
Objective: To evaluate the susceptibility pattern of S. aureus and enterococci to teicoplanin using an in vitro method.
Methods: Between February and November 2011, valid bacteriological samples were collected at three hospitals in three cities in Pakistan and the organism was isolated.
Objective: The study was conducted to isolate and determine the antibiotic resistance in E. coli from urinary tract infections in a tertiary care hospital, Lahore.
Methods: Urine samples (n=500) were collected from patients with signs and symptoms of Urinary tract infections.
