Aims: To investigate the prevalence of acquired multidrug resistance of P. aeruginosa among clinical samples obtained from patients attending Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Place and Duration of Study: Ekiti State Teaching Hospital from January-March 2013. Methodology: The isolates were characterized by standard cultural and biochemical tests and they were tested for their sensitivity to different antibiotics using disk diffusion method. Results: A total of 192 clinical samples were collected from which 42 isolates of P. aeruginosa Original Research Article Igbalajobi et al.; BMRJ, 12(4): 1-6, 2016; Article no.BMRJ.22515 2 were obtained. Antibiogram profile showed that a total of 80.95% of the isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone and ceftizoxime respectively, 76.2% to augmentin, 73.8% to ceftazidime, 71.4% to nitrofurantoin, 47.6% to ofloxacin, 45.23% to gentamicin while ciprofloxacin had the lowest resistance of 42.86. Isolates from ear swabs had the highest resistance to 3 generation cephalosporins, followed by isolates from urine while isolates from wound samples showed the lowest resistance. Conclusion: There is a need to institute an effective antimicrobial resistance surveillance system that provides clinicians with up-to-date data on the prevalence and resistance pattern of commonly encountered pathogens like P. aeruginosa especially as nosocomial infection is concerned.

Aim : In this study, we evaluated the presence of antibiotic resistance genes among P. aeruginosa strains. Methodology: From January to September 2012, 100 isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from burn patients. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion method. Screening for Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) productions were performed by Combination Disk Diffusion Test (CDDT). The frequency of antibiotic resistance encoding genes such as MBLs (IMP, VIM, NDM), ESBLs (CTX-M-15), Amp-C enzyme (CMY), Ambler class A carbapenemases (KPC), Ambler class D β-lactamase (OXA-48), 16S rRNA methylases (armA, rmtB, rmtC, rmtD), Quinolone Resistance Gene (aac(6′)-Ib) and class 1 integron were performed by PCR and Sequencing techniques. Results: 48(62.33%) of isolates were metallo-beta-lactamase producers. All MBL-producing Original Research Article Hashemi et al.; BMRJ, 12(4): 1-6, 2016; Article no.BMRJ.23268 2 P. aeruginosa were resistant to antibiotics; while 49% of isolates were resistant to Gentamicin. The aac(6)-Ib, CTX-M-15, int I, CMY, rmtB , rmtD and IMP-1 genes were detected in 57 (74.02%), 48 (62.3%), 48 (62.3%), 7 (9.09%), 11 (14.28%), 9 (11.68%) and 6 (7.7%) isolates respectively, whereas none of them were positive for other genes. The mortality rate due to metallo-βlactamases-producing P. aeruginosa infection was 5(10.4%). Conclusions: The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes producing P. aeruginosa detected in this study is of great concern.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) isolated from various hospital-acquired infection cases admitted to Tanta University Hospital, Egypt and to determine the antibiotic resistance profile of these isolates. Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Place and Duration of Study: After collection of K. pneumoniae isolates from microbiology laboratory of Tanta University Hospital. Further work was carried out in the laboratory of Original Research Article Abd-Elmonsef et al.; BMRJ, 17(2): 1-10, 2016; Article no.BMRJ.29240 2 Microbiology and Immunology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Egypt, from June 2015 to May 2016. Methodology: A total of 113 K. pneumoniae isolates were collected from different hospitalacquired infections and were tested for hypermucoviscosity phenotype by string test. Antibiotic disc diffusion test was performed for all isolates to identify their resistance pattern. Existence of rmpA gene was investigated by polymerase chain reaction. Results: Forty-six out of 113 (40.71%) isolates were string test-positive (HVKP), the remaining 67 (59.29%) negative isolates were CKP. Twenty-six (56.52%) out of 46 HVKP isolates possessed rmpA gene. Lower resistance rates were observed in HVKP than CKP. Conclusion: ESBL production by rmpA-positive HVKP isolates in hospital-acquired infections is worrisome, though its rate is still low. Control of the spread of this organism in the hospital environment and the general community is an important concern.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate that biogas can be generated from biodegradable domestic wastes and to determine the bacterial succession involved in the anaerobic decomposition of the wastes. Ten kilogram (10 kg) of biodegradable domestic waste was made into slurry with tap water. The slurry was fed into a batch system biodigester and left at room temperature for 12 weeks. Metagenomic method was used to determine the bacterial and archaeal species involved in the anaerobic digestion. MULTIRAE PGM 50 was used to confirm the presence of the generated biogas from the slurry. Serial dilutions of the slurry was made on alternate days and the appropriate dilutions were inoculated onto nutrient agar plates for bacterial isolation and incubation was at 35°C for 48 hrs. Potato dextrose a gar was used for fungal isolation, and incubation was at ambient temperature for three days. Pure isolates of representative communities were maintained on agar slants at 4°C. Triplicate sampl es from various tubes were cultured and the average count was used. Fungal growth occurred on the PDA plate only on the first day of incubation. The mean total bacteriaial count was highest on the second day (1.3 x10 7 cfu/ml); it decreased with increasing incubation time and became constant from the 23 rd day to the end of the experiment (1.0 x10 1 cfu/ml). The microorganisms involved in the biodegradation were found to be Lactobacillus rapi strain LA1165, Clostridyum tyrobutyricum, Ralstonia pickettii, Methanoculleus marisnigri , Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A, Clostridium acetobutylicum EA 2018, Clostridium tyrobutyricum 5S, Halothermothrix oremii H168, Lactobacillus rapi strain LA1165, Lactobacillus buchneri, Solobacterium moorei W540, B. vulgatus ATCC 8482. Rhizopus spp and Aspergillus spp were isolated only on the first two days of incubation. The result from this study proves that, it is possible to generate biogas from domestic wastes and diverse species of microorganisms are involved in anaerobic digestion of biodegradable domestic wastes.

Background: Each year, 3 to 4 million people are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and it is the major cause of liver disease worldwide. The patient with acute HCV is often asymptomatic but can present with fatigue and jaundice. About 80% of HCV infected individual’s progress to chronic state. There is an increased prevalence of HCV infection with autoimmune diseases and the most common is chronic thyroiditis, which is an inflammatory disease that leads to hypothyroidism. These individuals have an increased level of antithyroid peroxidase antibody (anti TPO-Ab). Objectives: To determine the prevalence of antithyroid antibody (ATA) in patients of HCV genotype Materials and Methods: Fifty HCV infected patients with genotype 3a were enrolled in this study that included 33 males and 17 females. After written informed consent, 3 ml blood of all the patients was obtained and ATAs were detected by indirect immunofluorescence technique. These patients were divided into 3 groups, i.e. untreated 26 (52%), mid treated 17 (34%) and 7 (14%) patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results: Among the patients 17(51.5%) males and 7 (41.2%) females had ATA. Regarding different groups, 19 (73.1%) of untreated, 5 (29.4%) of mid treated and none of the patient in HCC group had ATA. Conclusion: ATA was detected in a high percentage of patients with HCV genotype 3a. These antibodies were significantly higher in untreated patients as compared to mid treated and HCC patients. Further, more males had these antibodies as compared to females.

Aim: The primary aims of this study were to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns and plasmid profile of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli isolated from clinical specimens, and to find out a possible correlation between plasmids and antibiotic sensitivity patterns. Methodology: Unrelated E. coli strains were isolated from different clinical specimens from different hospitals and primary health care centres in the Riyadh area Saudi Arabia. Antimicrobial susceptibility of E. coli isolates was determined using disc diffusion method against 12 commonly used antimicrobial drugs. Plasmid DNA was extracted from lysed E. coli cells using Plasmid Miniprep kit, and visualised using Agarose gel electrophoresis. Results: The results showed that isolated strains of E. coli were resistant to Cotrimoxazole (70%), Ampicillin (67%), nalidixic acid (51%), Cephalothin (27%), Agumentin and Nitrofurantoin (19%), Tetracycline and Ciprofloxacin (15%) and Gentamycin (12%). Plasmid analysis of clinical isolates showed the presence of 1 to 7 plasmids with size range of 1.9 to 21.1 Kb, as compared to control E. coli ATCC 25922 (size range of 2 to 19.5 Kb). Conclusion: The results obtained in this study showed no direct correlation between the patterns of antibiotic resistance and plasmid profiles.
