Urinary Tract Infections among Pregnant Women at Tripoli

Hamida Amer and Amal Almasri

Article Type: Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 5

Urinary tract infections frequently affect pregnant mothers. This problem causes significant morbidity and healthcare expenditure. Three common clinical manifestations of UTIs in pregnancy are: Asymptomatic bacteriuria, acute cystitis and acute pyelonephritis. Escherichia coli remains the most frequent organism isolated in UTIs. Urine culture and sensitivity is the gold standard in diagnosing UTIs....

Identification of Microbial Isolates Obtained from Patients with Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia and Their Susceptibility to Antibiotics in Misrata, Libya

Yasmin F Abushalla, Eltaher A Elshagmani, Ali M Nouh and Mohamed A Alghazal

Article Type: Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 5

Respiratory-associated pneumonia refers to pneumonia in which the patient needs help breathing by a machine through a tube inserted in the windpipe. Symptoms of respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, are not limited to infection alone, but also cause respiratory failure in critical care settings. The concept of bronchoalveolar lavage (MinibAl) was developed to diagnose Ventilator-associated pneumonia so that appropriate antibiotics can be prescribed....

Liposomal Amphotericin-B in Saline Shows Promising Efficacy against Candida auris compared to Azoles, Echinocandins and Other Amphotericin-B Formulations in Dextrose and Deoxycholate Suspension

Vijay Pancholi

Article Type: Brief Note | Indexed Archive: Volume 3

Fungal infection caused by Candida auris is now a global crisis. However, its multidrug-resistant nature and onerous identification have left limited therapeutic options resulting in 30-60% mortality. Amphotericin-B (AmB), a broad-spectrum and a potent fungicidal with a rare resistance pattern, is considered a gold-standard antifungal drug. Yet, its antifungal potential is not fully recognized under the pretext of its potential nephrotoxicity. Liposomal AmB formulations are safer than AmB-Deoxyc...

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates from ICU Patients with Acute and Chronic Pneumonia

Jayasimha Rao, PhD, Adenike Adenikinju, MD, James M. Gray, MS, Lily Colpitts, MD, Alyson Prorock, BS, Yongde Bao, PhD, Thomas M. Kerkering, MD, Dorothy C. Garner, MD and Roderick V. Jensen, PhD

Article Type: Original Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 3

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and virulent pathogenic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) are among the most dangerous pathogens in healthcare-associated infections. In this study, a comparative analysis was performed on two clinical Pa strains from pneumonia patients, 1) An acute strain (CMC-115) and 2) A chronic multidrug- and carbapenemresistant strain (CMC-097) with distinct phenotypic and genetic characteristics. A transcriptome analysis using both the Pseudomonas DNA GeneChip microarray and...

The Importance of Microorganisms and Their Effects on Medicinal Plants and Their Various Applications

Abdlmanam Fakron, Idress Hamad Attitalla, Mohamed Younes A Hassan and Sumeet Dwivedi

Article Type: Review Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 3

Since photosynthesis is the primary process through which light energy absorbed and converted into organic matter, thus, plant chlorophyll pigment (forms A and B) plays an essential role in the progression absorbed solar energy and synthesis of organic matter in a plant. Therefore, this paper aims at the extent to which the optical activity of chlorophyll molecules monitored and methods (non-destructive and destructive) for quantification of chlorophyll content in plants. These methods using to ...
