“…Though different studies throughout the world demonstrated poor correlation among the different methods of testing for polymyxin B and colistin, but some studies including our study demonstrated good correlation because of use of validated broth dilution method. Our study demonstrated that P. mirabilis (n = 55) was highly sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam (90.90%), imipenem (83.63%), moderately sensitive to cefoperazonesulbactam (65.45%), ertapenem (65.45%), aminoglycoside group of antibiotics (60-69%), chloramphenicol (63.63%) which was partially similar to the studies done by Hailu et al, 33 Seid et al, 36 and Wasihun and Zemune. 39 These studies demonstrated low level of resistance (5-28%) to ciprofloxacin, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, gentamicin, and ceftriaxone.…”

“…to 100% isolates of MRSA were resistant to penicillin and methicillin group of antibiotics, whereas in the study of Hailu et al, 33 65.4 and 34.6% S. aureus demonstrated resistance to penicillin and oxacillin respectively with more or less similar results were found in the study done by Hwang et al, 34 Abera et al, 35 and Seid et al 36 Our study as well as other different studies suggest that a largescale study is required on the prevalence and spectrum of susceptibility of community-acquired MRSA. The study showed 40 to 90% resistance to co-trimoxazole, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin with only 30% resistance to clindamycin, whereas only 0 to 31% resistance to ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, and co-trimoxazole was evidenced in the study done by Hailu et al, 33 Seid et al, 36 Abera and…”

“…Similarly, our study indicated very low level of sensitivity to ampicillin, amoxicillin, oxacillin which was also evidenced in the above studies. 33,36,39 The high resistance of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and P. mirabilis to ampicillin, amoxicillin, and oxacillin may be due to the following factors, like lack of up-to-date knowledge of antimicrobial resistance amongst nurses, physicians, lack of presence of proper antibiogram data, unnecessary, unethical, and irrational uses of antibiotics, self-intake by the patients, push by the pharmacists, irregular intake of antibiotics by the patients. Again, it is known fact that proteus species produces a unique beta-lactamase (cefuroximase) having high activity against cefuroxime, second-generation cephalosporin.…”

Increasing emergence of drug-resistant bacteria is becoming a major problem globally. A retrospective study of 790 culture and sensitivity reports on microbial isolates, from infected wounds was carried out in KPC Medical College and Hospital, Jadavpur, Kolkata, India. 504 patients were males and 286 females. Gram negative organisms were isolated in 561 and gram positive in 229. Among the gram negative organisms, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli were the most common, whereas Staph aureus was the only gram positive organism isolated. Antibiotic sensitivity tests revealed most gram negative organisms susceptible to carbapenems, polymyxin and colistin. Staphylococci showed sensitivity to tigecycline, clindamycin, vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid. Interesting differences in the type of organisms isolated in male and female patients were noted. For example Enterococcus faecalis was found only in female patients. Increasing resistance of microorganisms cultured from infected wounds to first line and even second line antibiotics is a matter of great concern and can be attributed to indiscriminate and irrational use of broad spectrum antibiotics. This has to stop forthwith if we want to prevent resistance to antibiotics; otherwise morbidity, mortality and health care costs in treating patients with wound infections are going to increase exponentially

“…Abnormal anatomy and dysfunction of the tube are involved in the development of AOM. An infection in the nasopharynx and ET lead to increased mucous secretion that can obstruct the ET resulting in a negative middle ear pressure and the bacteria can then enter the middle ear (Kaltes, 2003 (Simon, 2009;Seid et al, 2013).…”

Acute otitis media (AOM) is occasionally caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction and obstruction; it is second most common disease in children. The objective of this study is to determinate and isolate the causative agents of AOM among children and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern to certain antibiotics. A cross sectional hospital based study on 100 acute otitis media patients seen in Khartoum Ear Nose throat Teaching hospital. Patients' information was collected using pre-structural questionnaire. Ear swabs were collected from discharging ears and processed for bacteria culture and susceptibility to different antimicrobial agent using standard microbiological techniques. Out of 100 ear swabs collected and processed through standard microbiological techniques, 68 (total number of culture plate) were culture positive and 32 were negative for bacterial growth. The most common isolated microorganism was Staphylococcus aureus 38 (from total number of isolated organism = 78) (48.7%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 15 (19.2%), Escherichia coli 4 (5.1%), Citrobacter freundii 8 (10.3%), Morgenalla morganii 9 (11.5%) and Edwardsiella tarda 4 (5.1%). All isolates were resistant to Ampicillin (100%). Almost all isolated bacteria were sensitive to two or more antibiotics. About 6 (15.8 %) of S. aureus were resistant to Methicillin. In conclusions, S. aureus was the major isolated bacteria, about (15.8%) of S. aureus are Methicillin resistance that cause acute otitis media. Ciprofloxacin, Ceftazidime, Gentamicin and Ceftriaxone were relatively effective antibiotics. However, all isolates showed multi drug resistance to the Ampicillin.
