Consultant Clinical Microbiologist, Department of Laboratory Medicine, KIMS SAVEERA Hospital, Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Context: Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death in developing countries like India. Hence, even small relative increases in the mortality rate for infections due to multidrug-resistant pathogens would lead to substantial increases in the number of deaths as a result of infections worldwide.

Aims: The aim of the study was to study the microbiological data of community-acquired pathogens and the corresponding outcomes due to antibiotic-resistant versus antibiotic-susceptible bacterial microorganisms.

Background: Tibial shaft fractures are among the most common long bone injuries and often can be challenging to manage surgically. While infrapatellar (IP) intramedullary nailing (IMN) has been a widely accepted treatment, its limitations have led to the emergence of alternative approaches, such as suprapatellar nailing (SPN) in a semi-extended knee position.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes of tibial shaft fractures treated with an SPN approach in a semi-extended knee position.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on evaluating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns in ICU patients across multiple tertiary care centers in India, highlighting the variability of resistance over time and geography.
  • Utilizing data from 21,556 samples collected over about a decade, researchers analyzed microbial isolates and their antibiotic susceptibility based on established guidelines.
  • Results indicated that the majority of infected patients were adult males, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most prevalent bacteria, showing significant resistance to common antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and erythromycin.
