Résumé
Bacteria of genus acinetobacter, invariably susceptible to many antibiotics earlier have emerged as a multidrug resistant opportunistic pathogen in recent years. Unwarranted and unrestricted usage of an antibiotic is associated with drug resistance in thereat in infections by acinetobacter species. Rapid detection of Metallo – Betalactamase starins can be done to prevent their dissemtination. The present study is undertaken to know antibiotic sensitivity pattern of acinetobacter species and screen the imipenem resistant starins for Metallo Beta Lactamase (MBL) production by various phenotypic methods.

The rise of HIV as well as HBV infections in rural population is alarming. Different studies suggest, approximately one third of HIV infected individuals also harbour Hepatitis B virus simultaneously. Co-infection of HIV and HBV leads to complex immuno-pathological disease heralding poor prognosis. The present study was undertaken to ascertain sero-positivity of HIV and Hepatitis B virus co-infection in and around the rural area of Loni. The rate of sero-positivity for HIV infection was 2.61%; however, that of Hepatitis B was 1.26 %. The incidence of Hepatitis B in HIV infected individuals was found to be 2.5 %.
