Journal Article
Simple screening tests for detection of carbapenemases in clinical isolates of nonfermentative Gram-negative bacteria.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of highly stable silver nanoparticles embedded in agar-agar matrix as a thin film.
Somnath Ghosh,Rajni Kaushik,K. Nagalakshmi,S.L. Hoti,Godfred A. Menezes,Belgode Narasimha Harish,H. N. Vasan +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance in typhoidal salmonellae
TL;DR: The history and recent trends in antimicrobial resistance in typhoidal salmonellae are summarized based on published research from the centre and literature from elsewhere in the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance trends in blood culture positive Salmonella Typhi isolates from Pondicherry, India, 2005–2009
Godfred A. Menezes,Belgode Narasimha Harish,Mushtaq Ahmad Khan,Wil H. F. Goessens,John P. Hays +4 more
TL;DR: A high rate of ciprofloxacin resistance was observed in comparison to other endemic areas in blood culture isolates of S. Typhi from Pondicherry, India, with steadily increasing NAR but decreasing MDR isolations over the study period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus species in southern India.
TL;DR: Monitoring the vancomycin susceptibility of clinical meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp.
