Streptococcus pneumoniae represents an important cause of morbidity in children, and is the originating point for majority of bacterial pneumonia, being often an agent that causes acute otitis average, purulent meningitis and sepsis. The study group included 131 patients, hospitalized in the 3rd Pediatric Clinic at the Emergency Hospital for Children "St. Mary". The distribution by groups...
There are three stages to a complete UTI diagnosis: (1) identification of a urine sample as positive/negative for an infection, (2) identification of the responsible bacterium, (3) antibiogram to determine the antibiotic to which the bacteria are most sensitive to. Using conventional methods, all three stages require bacterial cultures in order to provide results. This long delay in diagnosis causes...
This study was carried out to investigate the antibiotic resistance and molecular epidemiology of K. pneumoniae producing ESBLs in some major hospitals in Jilin regions. K. pneumonaie isolates were examined for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. ESBLs were detected by screening and confirming method, PCR, sequncing and conjuation assay. A total of 259 of K. pneumoniae were isolated from three...
Urinary tract infection diagnosis and antibiogram require a 48 hour waiting period using conventional methods. This results in ineffective treatments, increased costs and most importantly in increased resistance to antibiotics. In this work, a novel method for classifying bacteria and determining their sensitivity to an antibiotic using Raman spectroscopy is described. Raman spectra of three species...
