Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing community-acquired urinary tract infections in children: Chart review of risk factors
Conclusion: The antimicrobial sensitivity pattern in our study showed increased resistance to cephalosporins, cotrimoxazole, fluoroquinolones and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid which are frequently used in the treatment of UTI, with most isolates being sensitive to aminoglycosides, piperacillin-tazobactam and carbapenems. Statistical analysis did not identify any significant risk factor that predisposes to ESBL UTI. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Action of colloidal bismuth hydroxide gel and its commercial cream on enteropathogens and colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract
Conclusions: We believed that the results obtained in this study are very promising from the treatment standpoint, as a possible treatment for cases of diagnosis or suspicion of bacterial gastroenteritis. The antimicrobial and attachment effects of CBCHP are exclusively due to its active ingredient CBHG; these effects are promoted in the presence of E. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

CSE-1034 versus ceftriaxone: Efficacy and safety analysis from a randomized, open-labeled phase III study in complicated urinary tract infections
Conclusions: CSE-1034 3 g every 24 h showed a high favorable clinical and bacteriological response, and 95% CI around the treatment difference prove the superiority of CSE-1034 vs. Ceftriaxone for the treatment of cUTI. Therefore, CSE-1034 provides an effective alternative in the treatment of patients with cUTI. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Evaluation of exoenzyme activities, biofilm formation, and co-hemolytic effect in clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis species complex
Keyvan Pakshir, Mostafa Ravandeh, Hossein Khodadadi, Mohamad Motamedifar, Kamiar Zomorodian, Saeideh AlipourJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2018 10(3):163-165 Candida parapsilosis species complex is considered as important emerging pathogens and little is known about their pathogenicity factors and co-hemolytic activity with different bacteria species. The aim of this study was to determine in vitro exoenzyme activities, biofilm formation, and co-hemolytic effect of different bacteria species on clinical C. parapsilosis complex isolates. In total, 67 C. parapsilosis complex isolates consist of C. parapsilosis sensu ...
