Bacteriological Profile of Patients With Stroke-Associated Pneumonia and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Pathogens: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Cureus
November 2024
Microbiology, Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, IND.
Background And Objectives: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is the aftermath of aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions or stomach content. Mechanical ventilation and lowered immunity and consciousness facilitate the etiopathogenesis of SAP. Antibiotic prophylaxis and repeated culture and sensitivity testing dampen the drug susceptibility patterns of the pathogens.

BMC Res Notes
December 2024
Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Ghana Medical School, P.O. Box KB 4236, Accra, Ghana.
Background: The nasopharynx is characterised by a rich microbial diversity, making it an important endogenous reservoir for respiratory infections. People living with diabetes (PLWD) have a high risk for acquisition of respiratory tract infections, but their nasopharyngeal bacterial flora have rarely been investigated.
Aim: To investigate the nasopharyngeal bacterial flora among PLWD and non-diabetics at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.
Genotypes and drug resistance pattern of complex among clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
Front Public Health
December 2024
Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Background: Clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) (CDPTB) patients account for a huge proportion of TB. However, little is known about the genetic diversity and drug resistance profile of Complex (MTBC) strains in this group of patients.
Method: Unmatched case-control study was conducted among 313 PTB patients to compare the genetic diversity of MTBC and their drug resistance profiles among CDPTB ( = 173) and bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary TB (BCPTB) ( = 140) patients.
Arcobacter species isolated from human stool samples, animal products, ready-to-eat salad mixes, and ambient water: prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility, and virulence gene profiles.
BMC Infect Dis
November 2024
Research Center of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Institute of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Arcobacter species are emerging foodborne pathogens increasingly associated with human illness worldwide. They are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and are frequently isolated from various food sources, including raw meat, poultry, and seafood. The aim of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial resistance patterns of Arcobacter spp.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria cause infections with higher risks of morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. Understanding the antimicrobial resistance patterns of these pathogens is crucial for effective treatment and managing resistance. Therefore, this retrospective study examined the prevalence, causes, and trends in antimicrobial resistance in bacterial infections at a neurosurgical hospital in Nepal.
