BIOGRAM is an antimicrobial susceptibility test system for the determination of MICs from the standard disk diffusion test zone diameters. The system was challenged with 511 recent clinical isolates of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, nonfermentative gram-negative bacteria, staphylococci, and enterococci. Results were compared with those obtained with the broth microdilution method. Appropriate control organisms were included with each test series. A total of 10,085 organism-drug combinations were evaluated. BIOGRAM demonstrated an overall correlation of 95.9% with the reference broth microdilution method.

Bacteriological Profile of Hospital Acquired Infection and Their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Mymensingh Med J
July 2023
Dr Anika Farzin, Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology, Eastern Medical College, Cumilla, Bangladesh; E-mail:
A hospital-acquired infection (HAI) is acquired in a hospital or other health care facilities. This is an extra burden in every unit of hospital as it increases the morbidity, mortality, cost of treatment and also duration of the hospital stays for the patients. This study aimed to find out the causative bacterial agents of HAI from different clinical samples and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.

Objective: Current study was designed to isolate the pathogens from burn wounds and determine the antibiogram of these isolates.
Methods: A total of 85 samples were collected from burn patients with the history of different weeks of hospitalization in various public and private hospitals of Faisalabad during September 2017-July 2019 and shifted to Department of Microbiology, Government College University, Faisalabad for further processing. Isolation and identification of the pathogens was done through conventional microbiological procedures.

Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses the Speed Biogram™ point-of-care (PoC) test for diagnosing superficial bacterial folliculitis (SBF) and otitis externa (OE) in dogs, comparing its effectiveness to traditional culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST).
- - Results showed that the PoC test could accurately identify healthy versus unhealthy dogs with 100% sensitivity and specificity; however, it lacked reliability for AST, demonstrating significant errors in 55% of bacterial culture-positive cases.
- - The study concludes that while the PoC test effectively identifies SBF and OE in dogs, its inability to accurately test for methicillin susceptibility limits its application in small animal veterinary practice.
The predictive utility of prior positive urine culture in children with recurrent urinary tract infections.

Urinary tract infections can cause renal damage if not treated promptly. The aim of this study was to examine if prior urine cultures can predict antibiotic susceptibility profile in a subsequent culture, in children with recurrent urinary tract infections. The medical records of all children with at least two episodes of urinary tract infection between 1999-2015 that occurred 2 weeks to 1 year apart were reviewed.
