Carriage of ndm & imp carbapenem resistance genes among e. coli & k. pneumoniae human stool isolates from Mbarara
(Makerere university, 2022-03)
Background
The purpose of the study is to establish the prevalence of NDM & IMP Carbapenem resistance genes among E. coli and K. pneumonia. The study is to be conducted on the isolates from Mbarara at the College of ...
A project report on the design of the autobag device that performs the compression of the bag-valve-mask.
(Makerere University, 2022-02-03)
The major tool used in resuscitation is the ambu bag, which requires at least two health workers to use and is tiresome to use making it less effective especially in areas with a very small patient to doctor ratio. This ...
Relationship between hypermucoviscous property and antimicrobial suspectibility profile of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in the clinical microbiology laboratory, College of Health Sciences, Makerere University.
(Makerere University, 2022-03-22)
Introduction: Hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae which was first described in the Asian Pacific Rim in the mid-1980s and 1990 has become an emerging strain and has been considered hypervirulent. This hypermucoviscous variant ...
Evaluation of high-level aminoglycoside resistance of enterococcal isolates in blood cultures at Makerere University clinical microbiology laboratory between 2017 to 2020
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
Background:
Resistance to aminoglycoside has been of great concern, since it eliminates the synergy of aminoglycosides with beta lactam antibiotics, which is the therapy of choice for most of enterococcal infection which ...
Assessing the prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension and associated risk factors among patients at the Out- Patient Department, Mulago Hospital.
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
Background; Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. Hypertension has been described as the “silent killer” because initially, the disease ...
Prevalance of extended spectrum beta-lactamases among escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae in isolates from Mulago National Referral Hospital.
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae are gram-negative bacteria that are members of the enterobacteriaceae family of bacteria. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious risks to global public health. ...

(Makerere University, 2022-03-19)
Background; Urinary Tract Infection is the type of infection that involves the any part of the urinary system including the kidneys, bladder, urethra ( Ahmet et al.,2015).
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) is known to affect ...
Effect of laboratory errors on the accurate and timely reporting of bloodstream and wound infections caused by extended spectrum beta-lactamase positive escherichia.coli.
(Makerere University, 2022-01-22)
Production of extended spectrum beta lactamase enzymes is one of the common mechanisms of resistance of Escherichia coli to antibiotics, thus timely detection and reporting of this phenotype is very critical and crucial ...
