| antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of blood isolates from a teaching hospital in north india. | bloodstream infections are associated with significant patient morbidity and mortality worldwide. in this study, we examined antimicrobial susceptibility patterns by reviewing the data on 5,704 blood samples that were collected from patients with fever/sepsis admitted to government medical college and hospital, chandigarh, india, over a period of 1 year from august 2003 to july 2004. among the 567 qualifying samples, pseudomonas aeruginosa (19.75%), escherichia coli (15.17%), klebsiella pneumoni ... | 2005 | 15973011 |
| multiple drug resistance and genetic characterization of salmonella typhimurium isolated at chandigarh. | a total of 1072 strains of s. typhimurium were isolated in chandigarh during 1985-1988. genetic characterization of 'r' plasmids was attempted in 21 multiple drug resistant strains (ackssu tt p-19, ackssu, tp-i, akssu tp-1). all the 21 strains were sensitive to gentamicin, furoxone and nalidixic acid. level of resistance to different antimicrobial drugs varied from 200 to 1000 mg/l. majority of the strains were untypable by the present set of 31 typing phages (ut-17, phage type 21-2, phase type ... | 1993 | 8354548 |
| drug resistance in salmonellae isolated at chandigarh (india) during 1972-1978. | a total of 1316 strains of salmonella belonging to 20 serotypes isolated at p.g.i. chandigarh (india) were tested for drug resistance. drug resistance was noticed in 494 (38.3%) of the strains; 194 (14.8%) of these strains were resistant to one drug, while 300 (23.5%) had multiple drug resistance. all isolated strains were sensitive to gentamicin, furazolidone and nalidixic acid. resistance to streptomycin was observed in 233 (17.7%), chloramphenicol 197 (14,9%), tetracycline 293 (22.3%), ampici ... | 1980 | 7447438 |

| an increase in enteric fever cases due to salmonella paratyphi a in & around chandigarh. | enteric fever is a major public health problem in india. it is classically caused by salmonella enterica serotype typhi. salmonella enterica serotype paratyphi a which had been reported less frequently from cases of enteric fever has shown an increasing trend since 1996 in india. there is also variation in the antimicrobial susceptibility of salmonella paratyphi a from different parts of the country. an attempt is therefore made to study the rate of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility pat ... | 2009 | 19287065 |
| enterotoxigenic escherichia coli causing cholerogenic syndrome during an interepidemic period of cholera in north india. | a study was undertaken to look for heat-labile enterotoxin producing escherichia coli (lt-etec) in patients with acute watery diarrhea resembling cholera in chandigarh in north india. two periods were selected, an interepidemic (2001) and an epidemic (2002) period. heat-labile enterotoxin (lt) was detected using reverse passive latex agglutination test. lt-etec strains were serotyped and antimicrobial susceptibility was studied. lt-etec was detected in 16 of 21 stool samples during 2001. other o ... | 2006 | 16936343 |
