However, due to limited laboratory facilities that can satisfy the procedure, applicability of this procedure appears to be adversely affected in field conditions and at peripheral health institutions. Hence, it has become necessary to look for a procedure which can be used as alternative in such conditions. Material and Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, Madhya Pradesh in conjunction with the Chest TB Clinic of Index Hospital, New Delhi for a period of 1year [from February 2018 to January 2019].

Received 25 February, 2019; Accepted August 5, 2019 Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the commonest infectious disease in pregnancy, and in pregnancy we have very limited number of antibiotics to treat the UTI. This study was conducted on 151 patients who attended the gynecology clinic during the study period. Nineteen UTI proven cases of UTI were studied for prevalence of microorganism and sensitivity pattern against different antibiotics. Among the bacteria isolated, Escherichia coli (73.68%) and Staphylococcus aureus (10.52%) were the most prevalent Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria respectively. To know the resistance pattern of microorganism we used commercially available discs of different antibiotics. Gram negative bacteria showed more resistance as compared to Gram positive one. It is observed that the most effective antibiotic for Gram negative isolates is Ceftriaxone (87.5%), followed by Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid (81.25%), Amikacin (75%), Cefuroxime (75%), Cefixime (68.75%) and Mezlocillin (62.5%). For the Gram positive bacteria, Ceftriaxone, Amikacin and Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid were the most effective antimicrobials (100%).
  • Toxicological Profile for Phenol

    Toxicological Profile for Phenol

    PHENOL 21 3. HEALTH EFFECTS 3.1 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective on the toxicology of phenol. It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations and provides conclusions, where possible, on the relevance of toxicity and toxicokinetic data to public health. It should be noted that phenol is the simplest form, or parent compound, of the class of chemicals commonly referred to as phenols or phenolics, many of which are natural substances widely distributed throughout the environment. There is some confusion in the literature as to the use of the term ‘phenol’; in some cases, it has been used to refer to a particular phenolic compound that is more highly substituted than the parent compound (Doan et al. 1979), whereas in other cases, it has been used to refer to the class of phenolic compounds (Beveridge 1997). This chapter, however, addresses only those health effects that can be directly attributable to the parent compound, monohydroxybenzene, or phenol. As Deichmann and Keplinger (1981) note: “It cannot be overemphasized that the structure-activity relationships of phenol and phenol derivatives vary widely, and that to accept the properties of individual phenolic compounds as being those of phenol is a misconception and leads to error and confusion.” A glossary and list of acronyms, abbreviations, and symbols can be found in Appendix C at the end of this profile. 3.2 DISCUSSION OF HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE To help public health professionals and others address the needs of persons living or working near hazardous waste sites, the information in this section is organized first by route of exposure (inhalation, oral, and dermal) and then by health effect (death, systemic, immunological, neurological, reproductive, developmental, genotoxic, and carcinogenic effects).

Asthana, Ritu Kansal, Anupam Das Department of Microbiology, Subharti Medical College, Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. Accepted 16 July, 2009 Ziehl Neelson, a carbol fuschin based stain, using the 3 component hot process is a standard staining technique for staining sputum smears for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We evaluated a 2 step cold staining method for detection of acid fast bacilli in sputum smears. 1836 sputum samples from patients of pulmonary tuberculosis were studied. Smears were prepared from each sample and slides were simultaneously stained by both methods and examined. The 2 step cold stain method was found to be equally sensitive as the ZN method detecting 20% of cases, when the primary stain was kept for a period of 20 min. The CS method also has the advantage of being simple, economical and less cumbersome and in the procedure of staining, heating, a much too precise step in ZN method for large scale application, is eliminated. The CS method may therefore prove as a good alternative for diagnosis of M.tuberculosis, particularly in smaller laboratories and peripheral centers where there is limitation of the funds and equipments. Key words: Cold stain, acid fast bacilli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. INTRODUCTION Demonstration of acid fast bacilli in the sputum is the methylene blue as decolouriser and counter-stain has been easiest, quickest and a reliable tool for the diagnosis of advocated as an alternative staining technique by various pulmonary tuberculosis (WHO, 1974).

    New Methods for Pathogens : a Revlew Daniel Y

    234 NEW METHODS FOR PATHOGENS : A REVLEW DANIEL Y. C. FUNG The Pennsylvania State University Intr ductioii Interests in new methods for identification of bacterial pathogens have increased greatly in recent years due to the awareness of, the need for, and the potential of rapid methods and automation in Micro- biology. In 1971 a report by the U .So National Institute of General Medical Sciences presented the status of mechanization and automation in the clinical laboratory; autcnnation in microbiology was one of the topics reviewed (Kinney, 19-71). Richardson (1972) summttrized the developments of automation in the dairy Laboratories. These topics have been discussed in detail in the International Symposium on Rapid Methods and Automation in Microbiology first held L~IStockholm, Sweden, 1973, and again in Cambridge University, England, 1976. Another symposium was held in Kiel, Germny, 1974 with the title Automation of Microbio1ogr;ical Food Analysis. TheIn proceedings of the First International Symposium were published in two volumes : Automation in Microbiology and Innrmnolom (Heden and Illeni, 1975a) and New Approaches to the Identification of Microorganisms (Heden and Illeni, 1975b). The purpose of this article is to summarize the highlights of some automated microbiological tests and rapid methods relevant to the food industry. Hopefully some of these methods could be adapted and used routinely by the food industry. New Approaches and Automation in Microbioloa Generally the approach to developing new nethods for pathogens involved either a search for new ideas and related instrument develop- ment or improvement of existing bacteriological methods. The impetus for the development of new ideas and instruments mbly comes from clinical needs for rapid detection of organisms and antibiotic sensitivity testing.
