Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen that colonizes and produces disease in a variety of hosts. Present study was conducted to identify the presence of pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus collected from pus samples of pimples from 18-25 yrs aged students from Medinipur-West, India and to characterize in respect of hydrolyzing property of protein, hemolytic activity, antibiotic susceptibility and biofilm forming ability. In the present study 35 bacterial isolates were identified as Staphylococcus aureus. All of them were found to hydrolyze protein and 94.28% of them were hemolytic. Furthermore, all Staphylococcus aureus isolates were found resistant to Ciprofloxacin, Tetracycline, Erythromycin, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Clindamycin. On the other hand, 62.85% of them were resistant to Ampicillin, Penicillin, Gentamicin, Streptomycin, Chloramphenicol, Rifampicin. 25.71% were resistant to Methicillin and also possessed mecA as well as lukS/F-PV. But 77.78% of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates were found to be resistant to Vancomycin and 82.85% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates can produce moderate amount of biofilm. Hence, Staphylococcus aureus isolates who were MRSA, VRSA and also harbored lukS/F-PV may be appeared as the potential threat to the community health and also treatment plan in future.
Diagnostic tests are an important part of clinical medicine. They help screen for disease in asyptomatic patients, establish or rule out a diagnosis in symptomatic patients, provide important prognostic information and allow for objective monitoring of the disease process and its management
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a disease of poor and neglected populations; it affects 79 countries of the world and accounts 58,000 new cases to each year. However, no effective treatment for cure of the disease is yet available.
A quantitative cross sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care university teaching hospital. All patients visiting the hospital were included in the study and rest of the population was excluded.
Our aim was to determine the disease activity (DAS28) and its correlation with anti- Mutated Citrullinated Vimentin antibody (anti- MCV) positivity and other factors in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, Saudis and non-Saudis.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) can roughly be classified into three categories: Coronary heart disease (CHD), Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) and other vascular diseases.
To assess the extra-articular manifestations (EAMs) in Saudi rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and their association with serological markers [rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP)].
The incidence of vesicular mole in Asia is 1:80 and in India is 1:4001.Approximately 3.5% of these cases are partial molar pregnancies. Partial moles are usually (90%) triploids in origin, remaining are tetraploid or mosaic conceptions
