Presence of Antibiotic Resistant Salmonella spp. in Backyard Poultry and Their Environment
… </em>spp.. Each positive isolate was tested for antimicrobial sensitivity to 6 standard antibiotics: Ampicillin, Bacitracin, Erythromycin, Gentamicin, Penicillin, and Tetracycline, at the standard disk concentration levels. The Kirby-Bauer antimicrobial sensitivity test determined that 12 …

The microbiological causes of chronic osteomyelitis at the University Teaching Hospital,Lusaka
… and subjecting them to microscopy, culture and sensitivity examination so as to determine the causative organisms and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern. RESULTS: Staphylococcus aureus was the most common (35%) isolated microorganism and the cultured organisms showed highest sensitivity to …

Co-Existence of Urinary Tract Infection and Malaria Among children Under Five Years: A Case of Muhimbili National Hospital Dar es Salaam,Tanzania.
… malaria with UTI and further assessed the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolated organisms among children aged less than 5 years presenting with fever and malaria. Thick and thin blood films were used for the diagnosis of malaria and urine samples were collected in sterile, …

Microbiological profile of surgical site infections in orthopedic surgery at the university teaching hospital; Lusaka, Zambia.
… as a growing problem with the possibility of antimicrobial resistance. Hence, this study set out to investigate SSI following orthopaedic surgery in this setting, to determine the causative microorganisms, their prevalence and antimicrobial sensitivity patterns. Methods: A cross-sectional …

Proinflammatory cytokines as mediators of phenotypic change in bacteria implicated in ventilator-associated pneumonia
… use, which contributes to development of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals. We hypothesise that greater understanding of host-microbe interactions (HMI) in the pathogenesis of VAP should dictate appropriate treatment. This thesis begins to address this by investigating the role of host …

Molecular methods for the detection of TEM- and SHV-related beta lactamase genes in members of the Enterobacteriaceae
… belonging to different genera and with differing antimicrobial sensitivity patterns, were selected for this pilot study. These 45 isolates consisted of 24 Klebsiella spp., 14 Enterobacter spp., 3 Citrobacter spp., 2 Salmonella spp., 1 Pantoea agglomerans and 1 Serratia marcescens.

Pinnipeds as sentinels of antimicrobial resistance: mapping antimicrobial resistance genes in the waters of the United Kingdom
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a continual and growing threat to human and animal health. There is a lack of information about environmental reservoirs of AMR, many of which feed into the marine habitat. Pinnipeds are often used as sentinels of ocean health because they are long lived, apex …

Isolation of Bacterial pathogens from dead- in- shell Chicken embryos from local Hatcheries
… and Staphylococcus aureus were subjected to antimicrobial senshivity. The results of the antimicrobial sensitivity test showed high levels of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial agents used in the test were Penicillin G, Tetracycline, Gentamycin, Sulphamethoxazole, Furazolidone and …

A study of the transmission pathways of organisms associated with nosocomial infections at a veterinary academic hospital
… for HAIs and zoonotic infections. In addition, antimicrobial resistance genes associated with these organisms were also described. Since the results of the systematic literature review showed there was limited information on the burden of ESKAPE pathogens in South Africa, data on dog clinical …
