TL;DR: A high burden of candidemia in Indian ICUs, early onset after ICU admission, higher risk despite less severe physiology score at admission and a vast spectrum of agents causing the disease with predominance of C. tropicalis is highlighted.

TL;DR: The study showed a high level of MRSA in India and robust antimicrobial stewardship and strengthened infection control measures are required to prevent spread and reduce emergence of resistance.

TL;DR: MBL production is an important mechanism of carbapenem resistance among Pseudomonas species but not among Acinetobacter species, and EDS is more sensitive for detection of MBLs than modifi ed Hodge test.

TL;DR: Highly stable silver nanoparticles in agar-agar (Ag/agar) as inorganic-organic hybrid were obtained as free-standing film by in situ reduction of silver nitrate by ethanol and the mechanical strength of the film determined by nanoindentation technique showed almost retention of the strength even after repeated cycle.

TL;DR: There has been an increase in the number of isolates sensitive to all antibiotics except nalidixic acid, and all these isolates showed reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, which could be a useful screening test for the detection of decreased susceptibility of S. Typhi to cipsic acid.
