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 ...
Prevalence of the TEM gene in Eschericia coli and Klebseilla pneumoniae isolates from clinical microbiology laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022-12-20)
Background
Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant obstacle to the effective treatment of diseases everywhere. In enterobacteriaceae, the TEM gene is a crucial contributor to resistance. There is a significant vacuum ...

(Makerere University, 2022-10-04)
Klebsiella pneumoniae is known normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract of humans. It belongs
to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is associated with pneumonia in immunocompromised
hosts. Other disease caused by ...
Prevalence of the TEM gene among Eschericia coli and Klebseilla pneumoniae isolates from microbiology laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022-12-13)
Background: Extended spectrum beta lactamases play a key role in antimicrobial resistance by inhibiting the beta lactams such as the cephalosporins and penicillins preventing the drugs from killing the Enterobacteriaceae. ...
Prevalence of CTXM gene in isolates of enterobacteriaceae collected from the Microbiology Laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022)
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 organisms causing ...
Antimicrobial resistance profiles of Klebsiella Pneumoniae at Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of Makerere College of Health Sciences
(Makerere University, 2024)
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent nosocomial pathogen. It has also emerged as an agent of severe community-acquired infections, including pyogenic liver abscess, pneumonia, and meningitis. The beta-lactam ...
