Abstract

The serological typing of 96% of P. aeruginosa strains isolated in hospitals has been carried out by means of agglutinating sera, and the tendency towards the prevalence of the strains of group V (25.3%) and serovar O11 (18.1%) has been revealed. The determination of the antibiotic sensitivity of different variants has shown that the strains of groups I, V and serovar O11 possess pronounced resistance to a wide spectrum of antibiotics, their resistance to gentamycin and polymixin being higher than in the strains of other serotypes. The determination of antibiotic resistance can serve only as an additional test in the serological typing of P. aeruginosa.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
