TL;DR: The high prevalence of multidrug resistance in bacterial uropathogens was observed, and resistance patterns were alarmingly higher for amoxycillin, co-trimoxazole, flouroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins, which necessitate the re-evaluation of first and second line therapies for UTI.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results indicate that this MTB-LAMP method may prove to be a powerful tool for the early diagnosis of TB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiological Analysis of Drinking Water of Kathmandu Valley
TL;DR: Evaluated drinking water quality assessment in Kathmandu valley revealed that 82.6% and 92.4% of drinking water samples found to cross the WHO guideline value for drinking water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of Antibacterial Actinomycetes from Soil Samples of Kalapatthar, Mount Everest Region
TL;DR: The active isolates from primary screening were heterogeneous in their overall macroscopic, biochemical, and physiological characteristics through unweighted pair group method using average (UPGMA) cluster analysis and revealed that they belonged to distinct taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended spectrum beta-lactamase and metallo beta-lactamase production among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from different clinical samples in a tertiary care hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal
Krishus Nepal,Narayan Dutt Pant,Bibhusan Neupane,Ankit Belbase,Rikesh Baidhya,Ram K Shrestha,Binod Lekhak,Dwij Raj Bhatta,Bharat Jha +8 more
TL;DR: High rate of ESBL production was found in the E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolated from outpatients suggesting the dissemination of ESbl producing isolates in community, and bacteria showing resistance to at least three different classes of antibiotics were considered multidrug resistant.
