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.

Clinical Profile of Dengue Seropositive Infection From a Tertiary Care Hospital Situated in Mysuru, South India.

Introduction Dengue, a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, has become a significant global health concern. Its incidence has surged dramatically over the past decades, with severe cases potentially leading to life-threatening conditions such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Despite its prevalence in tropical regions, including India, the clinical manifestations of dengue can vary widely, sometimes presenting atypically.

Trends in the Bacterial Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns in the Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Hospitalized Patients in South India.

Exacerbation due to antimicrobial-drug-resistant bacteria among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients contributes to mortality and morbidity. We examined the prevalence of the bacterial organisms and trends in drug resistance in AECOPD. In this retrospective study, between January 2016 to December 2020, among 3027 AECOPD patients, 432 (14.

Neonatal Meningitis with Septicemia by : A Case Report.

is ubiquitary aerobic bacillus abundantly found in the community as well as hospital environments. is an emerging nosocomial pathogen with an elemental ability to acclimate and survive in diversified environmental circumstances. Prompt diagnosis and an early therapeutic intervention are preponderant in the management of these infections.

Case Report: Pharyngeal Diphtheria in a Pregnant Woman from South India.

Diphtheria is a vaccine-preventable disease and is caused by toxigenic strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Several case reports have been published in the recent years, and this resurgence of cases has occurred mainly in adolescent and adult populations. Also, several research articles have reported waning immunity against diphtheria in adults who have completed childhood immunization.

Effectiveness of BBV152/Covaxin and AZD1222/Covishield vaccines against severe COVID-19 and B.1.617.2/Delta variant in India, 2021: a multi-centric hospital-based case-control study.

Objectives: India introduced BBV152/Covaxin and AZD1222/Covishield vaccines in January 2021. We estimated the effectiveness of these vaccines against severe COVID-19 among individuals aged ≥45 years.

Methods: We did a multi-centric, hospital-based, case-control study between May and July 2021.

A Comparative Analysis of Serum Interleukin-6 Levels in Children with Febrile Seizures and Febrile Controls.

 Febrile seizures (FSs) are the common presentations of seizures in childhood. Activation of cytokine network plays a significant role in the genesis of FSs. Interleukin (IL)-6 is often considered as key cytokine in the generation of FSs.

Era of TB elimination: Growing need to understand diversities of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages!

Introduction: The mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) has highly clonal population structure which made the organism spread globally mirroring human migration out of Africa and resulted in the formation of seven lineages. We conducted this study to determine the proportion of spoligotype lineages and drug susceptibility profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates among smear positive TB patients attending a tertiary care hospital in Mysore, Karnataka, India.

Methods: It is a descriptive study conducted at JSS Hospital a tertiary care centre at Mysore, India during 2018-19.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage among health care personnel in nonoutbreak settings in tertiary care hospital in Mysore.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a multidrug resistant organism recognized as major cause of infections ranging from relatively minor skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening systemic infections. Contact transmission from health care personnel (HCP) to the patients provides the main mode of transmission of MRSA. Screening of HCPs colonized with MRSA may aid in preventing spread of this organism.
