The Prevalence of Multidrug-Resistant in Chennai and Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Carbapenem-Resistant ST410.

Unlabelled: The current study evaluates antibiotic susceptibility and Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) production of 557 isolates obtained from clean catch midstream urine samples using VITEK 2 compact automated microbial identification system. Different classes of drugs were used to determine the Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). In our study, 50.

Draft genome sequence of NDM-5, CMY-42 carrying carbapenem-resistant .

We report the draft genome sequence of carbapenem-resistant (CREC-1) of sequence type (ST2083) isolated from a urine sample of a 2-year-old female toddler carrying antimicrobial resistance genes and which displays resistance against multiple classes of antibiotics notably β-lactam antibiotics, cephalosporins, and carbapenem and codes for several virulence factors.

Genomic Features of High-Level Gentamicin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis Strain LREF-1 from India.

Enterococcus faecalis strain LREF-1 was isolated from a urine sample from India; it belongs to sequence type 28 (ST28), which is associated with nosocomial infections. The strain carries genes for resistance to multiple antibiotics and resistance to various drug classes, including tetracycline, erythromycin, and high-level gentamicin, along with virulence factors.

Rapid response systems: a prospective study of response times.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the time taken for delivery of each component of care following patient deterioration and to assess the effect on response times of strategies implemented to improve the system.

Methods: A model identifying the sequence of organizational responses following a patient's unexpected clinical deterioration was developed. The time to key events and interventions from initial deterioration was measured for 3 months in 2005 and again in 2006 at a tertiary care hospital with a rapid response team (RRT) in place.

Computer based haemodynamic guidance system is effective and safe in management of postoperative cardiac surgery patients.

A circulatory guidance system, Navigator, was evaluated in a prospective, randomised control trial at six Australian university teaching hospitals involving 112 scheduled postoperative cardiac surgical patients with pulmonary artery catheters placed and receiving 1:1 nursing care. The guidance system was used to achieve and maintain physician-designated cardiac output and mean arterial pressure targets and compared these with standard post open-heart surgery care. The primary efficacy endpoint was the standardised unsigned error between the targeted and the actual values for cardiac output and mean arterial pressure, time averaged over the duration of cardiac output monitoring - the average standardised distance.
