RESUMEN

Dietary onion and garlic caused an increase in the level of liver and plasma total lipids in Coturnix coturnix japonica. This increase could be due to the effect of an increased feed intake, bile production, digestion and absorption that in turn caused an increased utilisation of dietary fat, increased transfer of dietary lipids to the liver and/or due to increased lipogenesis as such. However, there was no increase in the muscle lipid content. This effect in the muscle could be due to inhibitory effect of onion or garlic on lipoprotein lipase activity. Further, the changes in the tissue total lipid level in the control group due to change in age and sex were also observed.

RESUMEN

M. chelonae is a rare cause of human infection and is difficult to diagnose unless suspected for the same. A 55 year old healthy gynaecologist, diagnosed to have right inguinal hernia, underwent laparoscopic hernioplasty, after which he showed signs of post-operative wound infection which was confirmed to be due to M. chelonae. Definitive identification of this species of mycobacterium was possible by growth characteristics and biochemical tests. The organism was sensitive to Kanamycin, Clarithromycin, Ciprofloxacin and Amikacin. However, complete recovery from infection was possible after prolonged treatment with antibiotics to which the organism was sensitive.

RESUMEN

Injection abscess is an iatrogenic infection occurring as an isolated case or as cluster outbreak. These infections occur due to contaminated injectables or lapse in sterilisation protocol. While pathogens such as Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, E. coli, and S. aureus are the usual causative agents, unusual organisms such as mycobacteria, particularly the rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) may cause the abscess. The chances of overlooking these organisms is high unless an acid fast bacilli (AFB) smear and culture is done on all aspirated pus specimens. We report a case of a three year old child who presented with a gluteal abscess following an intramuscular infection with an unknown preparation.

RESUMEN

Dietary onion and garlic caused an increase in the level of plasma triglyceride which could be due to insulin like activity of dietary alliums and other factors that promote lipogenesisi in growing stages. Changes in the plasma triglyceride level in the control group due to change in age and sex were also noted. The triglyceride level was more in female birds when compared to males of similar age group. The plasma trigelyceride level increased with age in both sex except for the level being similar in the 6 and 9-week old females and 3 and 6-week old male birds. The results suggest that the effects of alliums in growing and adult stages may be different which needs further study.

RESUMEN

Metallo beta-lactamase (MBL) producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an emerging threat and a cause of concern for the physicians treating such infections. The present study was undertaken to know the resistance pattern of P. aeruginosa to beta-lactamase inhibitors and carbapenems, and to detect the presence of MBL among resistant isolates to both groups of antibiotics. Between June-November 2001, 50 P. aeruginosa isolates from clinical specimens were tested for susceptibility to beta-lactamase inhibitors and carbapenems by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Isolates resistant to both groups of antibiotics were screened for the presence of MBLs by disc diffusion method using 2-mercaptoethanol. Of the 50 isolates, 6 (12%) were resistant to both beta-lactamase inhibitors and carbapenems. All 6 isolates were MBL producers were resistant to all the antibiotics tested. Resistance to piperacillin-tazobactam, cefoperazone-sulbactam and ticarcillin-clavulanic acid was 12, 20 and 36 per cent respectively. Resistance of 12 per cent each was noted to imipenem and meropenem respectively. This is to the best of our knowledge the first report of MBL producing P. aeruginosa from India and suggests the need for early detection, notification and control of spread.

RESUMEN

Data on antibiotic resistance pattern of gram-negative bacterial isolates of lower respiratory tract secretions of hospitalized patients were fed into WHONET computer and analyzed for the year 1999. Out of 860 samples, 269 (31.2%) were culture positive. Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) accounted for 238 (88.4%) positive samples. Non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria (NFGNB) were found in 34% samples, the other common ones being Klebsiella spp (29.8%) and Pseudomonas spp (17.2%). GNB isolates from tracheal aspirates and sputum were 132 (55.4%) and 106 (44.5%) respectively. Adults (32.7%) and elderly patients (24.3%) recorded higher isolation of GNB as compared to pediatric patients (1.6%). The highest mean resistance among predominant GNB in both tracheal aspirate (96.6%) and sputum (86.9%) was noted to ampicillin while the lowest mean resistance in tracheal aspirate (28%) and sputum (14.3%) was to amikacin. NFGNB of tracheal aspirates and sputum showed highest resistance of 50% and 32% to amikacin, respectively. Pseudomonas spp showed the highest variation in the resistance pattern between tracheal aspirates and sputum samples. Overall mean resistance was highest among tracheal aspirate isolates compared to sputum isolates.
