The mobile revolution has distorted the lives of people, providing not just communication but also basic financial access in the form of phone based money transfer and storage. With the emerging mobile technology innovations, making use of mobile as a virtual device for online transactions has overcome the effort to be put for physical transactions as mobile phone is used with a great versatility in our daily life, the use of this technology in the transportation sector via the ticketing process would be of a great support for thousands of passengers moving to and fro for their livelihood. The proposed architecture MRTS (Metro Rail Ticketing System) put forth an advanced mobile app, supports not only for online transportation money transaction but also many other wow factor facilities. The app would not only be proven to reduce the effort of physical transaction process but would also be proven to be secured, time saving, and highly compatible.
Acinetobacter species are opportunistic pathogen, which are gaining importance in hospital acquired neonatal septicemia due to multidrug resistance and causing increased morbidity as well as mortality. Materials and Methods: A prospective analysis was performed over a period of 6 months. Blood samples from neonates suspected of sepsis were collected and culture was done using conventional techniques. Acinetobacter when isolated were identified up to species level and drug sensitivity pattern of those isolate were done. Risk factors leading to Acinetobacter septicemia were also studied. Results: Out of 200 blood culture samples, 12(17.1%) Acinetobacter species were isolated, among these the predominant isolate was 7(58.3%) Acinetobacter baumannii, followed by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus 3(25%) and 1(8.3%) each were A.lwofii and A.hemolyticus. All isolates were resistant to 3 or more group of drugs. Conclusion: Neonatal septicemia especially with MDR Acinetobacter is on the rise and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Continuous surveillance of isolates from neonatal septicemia, adherence to infection control policies and rational antibiotic usage will reduce the incidence of such infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
