Acinetobacter baumannii and related species of the A. baumannii complex are the common and one of the most difficult-to-treat nosocomial pathogens. In this paper, we report the data on antimicrobial susceptibility of 568 isolates of Acinetobacter …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most abundant bacterial species causing nosocomial infections in Russia. In this paper, we report the data on antimicrobial susceptibility of 743 isolates of P. aeruginosa collected in 63 hospitals of 22 cities of Russia …

One of the most common problems in neonatal hospitals is the choice of metrics of drugs usage in neonatology, especially use of antibiotics. This study represents our experience in quantifying antibiotic use in a Level-III neonatal intensive care …

Type III Secretion System (TTSS) is a key pathogenicity factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The suppression of the activity of TTSS would potentially allow block the infection independently on the presence of antimicrobial resistance. To study the role …

colonization of gastric mucosa with Helicobacter pylori in patients with precancerous conditions (adenomatous polyp, hyperplastic polyp, focal hypertrophy, erosions) and gastric cancer (adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, carcinoid). The …

Objective. of current Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates and determine its trends over the RU-GASP (Russian Gonococcal Antimicrobial Susceptibility Programme) period. Materials and Methods. A total of 293 strains of N. gonorrhoeae isolated in 11 regions within Central, North-Western, Volga, Southern, and Siberian federal districts over the 2015–2016 were included in this study. Susceptibility to benzylpenicillin, ceftriaxone, tetracycline, spectinomycin, azithromycin, and ciprofloxacin was determined by agar dilution method and assessed according to the CLSI, EUCAST and MUK 4.

Acquired bacterial resistance is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality attributed to infectious diseases. Simulations may provide opportunity to predict further spread of resistance and, to some extent, manage it. The objective of this …

Carbapenem-resistant nosocomial K. pneumoniae isolates are a significant problem in clinical practice. Carbapenem resistance in K. pneumoniae isolated from hospitalized patients was 2.8% over the study period. NDM-1 carbapenemase-producing strains …

Antimicrobial use in food animal medicine has become an important political and scientific issue, especially in relation to the contribution that animal sourced antimicrobial resistance might play in human medicine, leading to calls at a political …

This study was aimed to determine isolation rate of H. pylori from gastric mucosal biopsies in 869 patients with chronic gastritis and gastric peptic ulcers in Republic of Tatarstan during the 2008–2013. A total of 45.5% of gastric biopsy samples …
