During October lowest number of scion sprout were recorded in Ullal-1 and Ullal-3 (14.40 days). The observations at April grafting showed that the shoot height ranged from 7.00 to 5.30 cm. The maximum shoot height was (7.00 cm) was found inUN-50 grafts prepared in the month of April followed by Ullal-3.The April month has recorded highest percentage of success ranged from 85.80 to 84.00 (%). There was no significant difference found in October g rafted. Correlation analyses in both the month such as April and October to measure for suitable month with other characters indicated that, in the month of April, le af size was found to be significant and positively correlated with shoot height. Number of days taken to sprout scion was found to be significantly and positively correlated with T mosquito damage at 6 months and grafts success at 3 months. With over all observation in correlation analysis suggest that leaf size, number of da ys taken to sprout scion, graft success at three and six months as well as T mosquito damage would decide the success rate of quality grafts.

Widespread use of some common antimicrobial agents led to emergence of Salmonella strains with reduced susceptibility and multidrug resistance. Susceptibility pattern keep changing and vary from p lace to place with time. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out to evaluate Salmonella blood isolates in children < 15 years, in relation to specific serotype, age distribution and prevalent antimicrobial resistance pattern. Results: Salmonella typhi was most common serotype isolated, accounting for 89.2% of total isolates. None of Salmonella isolates were MDR and all were resistant to nalidixic acid. Ciprofloxacin resistance was found in 34.2% of isolates. Low leve l resistance was seen towards first line antimicrobials including ampicillin (7.2%), chloramphenicol (5.4%) and cotrimoxazole (2.7%). Conclusion: Emergence of antimic robial resistance in typhoidal Salmonellae constitutes a new challenge.

This has led to renewed interest in usage of Macrolide-LincosamideStreptogramin B (MLSB) antibiotics to treat Staphylococcal infections. The resistance to macrolide can be mediated by msr A gene coding for efflux mechanism or via erm genes. In vitro tests for clindamycin susceptibility may fail to detect inducible clindamycin resistance thus necessitating the need to detect such resistance by a simple D test on a routine basis. Methodology: 300 S. aureus isolates were subjected to routine antibiotic susceptibility testing including cefoxitin (30ug) by modified Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Erythromycin Inducible resistance to clindamycin in S. aureus was tested by “D test” as per CLSI guidelines. Results: Out of the 300 isolates; MS phenotype (MS Pheno) was seen in 10.3% (31) Erythromycin Inducible Clindamycin Resistance (iMLSb) is seen in 19% (58), constitutional (cMLSb) resistance was seen in 12% (36). Out of the total 58 Erythromycin Inducible Resistance Isolates, 63.79% (37) were associated with MRSA and 36.20% (21) were associated with MSSA. Conclusion: Clindamycin is kept as a reserve drug and is usually advocated in severe MRSA infections. This study showed that D test shoul d be used mandatorily in routine disc diffusion test to detect inducible clindamycin resistance in S. aureus for optimum treatment of patients.

The aim of the present study was to prospectively study the rate; microbiological profile with antibiotic susceptibility and associated factors of central venous catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in intensive care units of a tertiary hospital in South India. Materials and Methods : The present study was a case control study conducted on 109 patients with CVC in situ. Quantitative blood cultures (QBC) and catheter tip cultures were performed; microbiological profile and antimicrobial susceptibility were assessed. Results : CRBSI was diagnosed in (18/109) patients and the rate of CVC- Blood stream infection number of CVC days was calculated as 13.64 per 1000 catheter days. The mean age of cases was observed to be 51.25(+-6.98) yrs. Patients from surgical ICU; signs of inflammation around catheter site, length of ICU stay, having underlying co-morbid conditions were significantly associated with CRBSI. Staphylococcus aureus followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and non-albicans Candida were common CRBSI pathogens and the bacterial agents were found to be multidrug-resistant (MDR). Conclusion : The incidence of CRBSI was 16.52% and the rate was 13.64 per 1000 catheter day. CRBSI were significantly associated with higher mean age; longer duration of catheterisation and longer stay in ICU.","PeriodicalId":92914,"journal":{"name":"International journal of microbiology and current research","volume":"14 1","pages":"1117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75208174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
