Prevalence of Multidrug resistance amongst archived Enterobacteriaceae from patients in Mulago National Referral Hospital maternity ward.
(Makerere University, 2020-12)
Background: Multi drug resistance in enterobacteriaceae is a common cause of hospital and
community acquired infections. Enterobacteriaceae are gram negative bacteria like E.coli,
Klebsiella Pneumoniae are pathogenic ...
Carriage of NDM carbapenemase genes among Escherichia coli isolates in human urine from Mbarara.
(Makerere University, 2021-12-20)
Background: Enterobacteriaceae, a family of gram-negative bacteria to which Escherichia coli belongs easily get and transfer drug resistance genes and presence of these genes leads to production of β-lactamases. The ...
Carriage of NDM and IPM carbapenem resistance genes among E.coli and K.pneumoniae isolates from Mbarara
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
Background: The increasing prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains is related to high mortality and it is increasing around the world. Among the Enterobacteriaceae family, Klebsiella pneumoniae and ...
The Prevalence Of Ctxm Gene Among Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Producing Enterobacteriaceae Isolates That Were Collected From The Microbiology Lab From 9th To 16th August, 2022.
(Makerere University, 2022-12-19)
The most frequent illnesses in both hospital and community-based settings are bacterial infections. Poor clinical results have been attributed to the advent of Extended Spectrum Beta- Lactamase Producing Enterobacteriaceae ...
Validation of the simplified carbapenem inactivation method for detection of carbapenemase producing gram negative rods at the Medical Microbiology Laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022-10)
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to validate the simplified Carbapenem inactivation method by determining the sensitivity and the specificity, this test is more reliable and time consuming compared to the modified ...
Co–resistance between Flouroquinolones, Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (SXT), and aminoglycosides with extended spectrum B–lactameses (ESBLS) in Eschericia coli isolated from blood, pus and urine specimens at Makerere University Clinical Microbiology Laboratory
(Makerere University, 2023)
Background
The global emergence and spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae have been threatening the ability to treat an infection. Hence, this study aimed to determine co – ...
