often polymicrobial.(Larkin et al. 1990; Gray et al. 1995) Gray et al found that bacterial contamination is common in 77% of lens cases‚ followed by contamination with fungi (24%) and then protozoan (20%). Most commonly found organisms include Pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ Staphylococcus spp‚ Acanthamoeba spp and Fusarium species from CL cases. But still there are variations in isolated organisms from contact lens storage case in different studies. Studies also have documented the most commonly recovered micro-organisms

Most P. aeruginosa infections occur in hospitalized patients‚ particularly those who are immunocompromised. P. aeruginosa is a common cause of infections in ICUs. HIV-infected patients‚ particularly those in advanced stages‚ are at risk of community-acquired P. aeruginosa infections. P. aeruginosa infections can develop in many anatomic sites‚ including skin‚ subcutaneous tissue‚ bone‚ ears‚ eyes‚ urinary tract‚ and heart valves. The site varies with the portal of entry and the patient’s vulnerability

The disc diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria (standard strains and clinical isolates). Antibacterial activity was tested on E. coli‚ S. aureus‚ B. subtilis and P. aeruginosa. Results show that there was no formation of any zone of inhibition as observed after 24 hrs. Thus‚ this justifies the traditional use of the plant as decoction treatment for various ailments. Various concentrations of crude extracts diluted in

Bacterial resistance to commonly used antibiotics is constantly increasing. Bacteria particularly dangerous for human life are methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus‚ vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and fluoroquinolone-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Hence‚ there is an incessant need for developing compounds with new modes of action and seeking alternate drug targets. In this review‚ the authors discuss the current situation of antibacterial medicines and present data on new antibiotic

More than 50 new types of CAMP’s have been identified in the komodo dragon blood.Most of them just ward off bacteria‚ about 8 of them are able to fight bacteria that are currently resistant to antibiotics.7 of them killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strains(which are currently resistant to antibiotic.)While one fought off only P.

antibiotics for these bacteria may be limited. An example of bacteria with intrinsic resistance is Burkholderia cepacia (burCOLD-air-ee-ah sa-PAY-sha). The most common bacteria that can acquire or develop resistance is Pseudomonas aeruginosa (soo-daMOE-nus A-ridge-a-NO-sa). Pseudomonas can develop resistance to several antibiotics. Another bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus (STAFF-ee-loeKOK-us OR-i-us). When resistance develops‚ it is commonly called MRSA for methacillin (METH-a-SILL-in) resistant or

Lab Report: Antibiotic Evaluation by the Kirby-Bauer Method Introduction Chemical antimicrobial agents are chemical compounds capable of either inhibiting the growth of microorganisms or killing them outright. Those which are taken internally to alleviate the symptoms of or promote healing from disease are called chemotherapeutic drugs‚ and among these is a class of compounds called antibiotics. In order for a chemotherapeutic drug to be classed as an antibiotic‚ it must be produced by
