antibiotic resistance

Objective. Objectives. To investigate etiology and susceptibility of pathogens causing community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) in different regions of Russia in various patients’ subsets to the most clinically used antimicrobials. Materials and Methods. A total of 903 uropathogens isolated from urine samples of children and adults of all age groups with acute (and recurrence of chronic) community-acquired UTIs, including pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria were collected in 26 centers of 18 cities in Russia during 2010–2011 and included in the «DARMIS» study.

This paper provides the results of a study to determine spectrum of pathogens causing bacterial keratitis and their antimicrobial susceptibility. A total of 62 patients with keratitis were examined over the period of 2010–2012. The most common …
