Pyonephrosis due to Chryseobacterium gleum: A first case report
S Garg, SB Appannanavar, B Mohan, N TanejaIndian Journal of Medical Microbiology 2015 33(2):311-313Chryseobacterium spp are widely distributed in nature but data of their isolation from clinical samples is scanty. Here, we report the first case of AmpC producing C. gleum causing pyonephrosis in a patient having bilateral nephrolithiasis on double J (DJ) stent. The present isolate was resistant to vancomycin, erythromycin, clindamycin, carbapenems and ciprofloxacin and susceptible to tetracycline and minocycline. The patient was treated with tetracycline and recovered without the need for removal of the DJ stent. The enviro...

Prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli in an Indian teaching hospital and adjoining communities
Publication date: Available online 11 April 2015 Source:Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences Author(s): Shakti Rath , Rabindra N. Padhy Multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of the Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium, Escherichia coli, particularly fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, are the major causative agents for hospital acquired (HA) infections, as well as epidemics linked to gastrointestinal (GI) and urinary tracts in the non-hygienic communities of most developing countries. The prevalence of multidrug resistance among 1642 strains of E. coli, isolated from clinical samples of patients with GI infections in a...

Community- versus healthcare-acquired bloodstream infections at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa.
CONCLUSION: The distinction between community- and healthcare-acquired infections is critical in antibiotic selection because narrow-spectrum agents can be utilised for community-acquired infections. The considerable antibiotic resistance of healthcare-acquired pathogens highlights the importance of infection prevention and control. This type of surveillance could be incorporated into routine laboratory practice.

Blood culture isolates and antibiogram of Salmonella: Experience of a tertiary care hospital
Conclusion Our study has shown improved sensitivity to ceftriaxone and cotrimoxazole. A high degree of susceptibility to ampicillin among both S. typhi and S. paratyphi A is encouraging. However, low susceptibility to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin is a cause for concern. There is a need for further clinical studies to evaluate the response to chloramphenicol in MDR cases and to formulate uniform laboratory guidelines to test antibiotic sensitivity of S. typhi isolates.

Salmonella Weltevreden food poisoning in a tea garden of Assam: An outbreak investigation
Conclusions: This report emphasises the geographical distribution of this organism in Assam. As S. Weltevreden is widely distributed in domestic animals, people should be made aware of immediate reporting of any unusual death among the livestock and their safe disposal which can significantly reduce the incidence of non-typhoidal salmonellosis in the country.

Aetiological agents of ear discharge: a two year review in a teaching hospital in Ghana.
CONCLUSIONS: Most cases of the discharging ear were found in children under the age of five years. The most common bacteriologic cause of the discharging ear was Pseudomonas spp followed by Staphylococcus aureus. Candida species was the commonest fungal cause of ear discharge. Ciprofloxacin and gentamicin are effective ototopic antimicrobial agents for empirical treatment of the discharging ear.

Antimicrobial resistance trends in blood culture positive Salmonella Paratyphi A isolates from Pondicherry, India
In this study, a total of 284 blood culture isolates of S. Paratyphi A were investigated. Of these isolates, 281 (98.9%) were nalidixic acid resistant. A high rate (6.3%) of high-level resistance (≥4 μg/mL) was found to ciprofloxacin. The isolates with ciprofloxacin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ≥12 μg/mL had 4 mutations, 2 mutations within the quinolone resistance-determining region of gyrA and 2 mutations also in parC. According to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute 2012 MIC breakpoints, 75.0% of isolates were resistant to cipro...

Isolation of Mycobacterium kumamotonense from a patient with pulmonary infection and latent tuberculosis
We report, for the first time in Greece, the isolation of M. kumamotonense from an immunocompetent patient with pulmonary infection and latent tuberculosis. M. kumamotonense was identified by sequencing analysis of 16S rDNA and 65-kDa heat shock protein genes while by commercial molecular assays it was misidentified as Mycobacterium celatum. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by the reference broth microdilution method. The strain was susceptible to amikacin, clarithromycin, rifampin, ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, rifabutin, ethambutol and linezolid.
