Abstract

Proteus is an important microorganism that have been isolated from wound infections causing severe complications. This study was aimed to isolate and determine the antibiotic sensitivity profile against isolates. A total of 50 wound and pus samples were collected from patients admitted in BMC Hospital, Quetta and processed in Pathobiology Laboratory of Center for Advance Studies of Vaccinology and Biotechnology (CASVAB) University of Baluchistan. All the samples were inoculated onto Brain Heart infusion (BHI), MacConkey agar, Cysteine-Lactose-Electrolyte-Deficien (CLED) and Blood agar and incubated at 37 oC, overnight. The suspected colonies were identified by gram stain and different biochemical tests and also confirmed by local made Quick Test Strip 12 (QTS 12). Among the total 50 samples 8 were found positive for Proteus mirabilis. Antimicrobial susceptibility of Proteus mirabilis against different antibiotic was evaluated by Kirby-Baur Method. Four different antibiotics were tested and ampicillin was found highly susceptible (75%), followed by Gentamicin (50%), Ceftazidime (40%) and ciprofloxacin (40%). This study shows the incidence of Proteus mirabilis in wound infection and best possible antimicrobial therapies against its infection.

Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT

The aim of this research is to determine the Bio physiological study on urolithiasis by diagnostic techniques and chemical composition in Balochistan, Pakistan. Study is designed to identify the Urolithiasis by using imaging techniquesThe urinary tract (UT) is complex system to conduct and perform excretory function in the body. It is divided into two parts upper urinary tract (UUT) and lower urinary tract (LUT). The UUT formed by the kidneys and ureters, while lower LUT associated with urinary bladder and urethra. The persistent flow of urine from upper urinary tract and lower urinary tract plays important role for the excretion of urine and cleansing of urinary tract Usually the primary function of the kidneys is filtration of blood for the removal of urinary system through urination, the lower parts of the urinary tract is the collection, storage, transportation and drain out urine from body. Moreover, urinary tract ensures the removal of products after metabolism and excretion of toxic products produced by both kidneys and thus help in maintaining homeostasis like water, electrolytes, red blood cells, leucocytes, calcium and blood pressure.

On Earth there are several organisms that share close relationship with humankind and Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of them. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is also known as the brewer´s or baker´s yeast and has been used for fermentation and production of bread and alcoholic beverages since long time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fermentation capability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae local isolates. For this purpose 100 fruit samples (mango, sugarcane, orange, honey melon, grapes) were collected from local fruit markets and subjected to identification by standard microbiology tests and advance molecular techniques like Polymerase reaction test (PCR). The results revealed the typical growth, shape and color of S. cerevisiae on YPD media. The growth culture subjected to microscopy showed the budding characteristic of S. cerevisiae. The initial identified strains by virtue of YPD selective media and microscopy were subjected to PCR. The PCR results revealed the presence of S. cerevisiae in 28 samples among all analyzed samples. Importantly, the presence of S. cerevisiae was detected 30% in oranges, in mango 27.77%, in sugarcane 35% while in honey melon and grapes it was 13.63%, 31.81% respectively.
This study concludes that S. cerevisiae was more abundant in sugarcane and grapes analyzed samples. The collected strains of present study may be further used in future studies like ethanol production from raw materials and also used as reference strain when working with samples of unknown nature

Background of the study: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Uro-pathogenic E.coli (UPEC) considered as most serious infections with increased mortality and morbidity. The ability of UPEC to encode variety of virulence determinants correlated with high recurrence rates and antibiotic resistance.
Purpose of the study: The present study focuses on DNA Extraction from E.coli by rapid PCR method and also characterization of Emboli’s molecules. E coli has the carrying ability of many mobile genes, these mobile genes carry the virulence factors. The present study was designed to detect these virulence genetic factors, using phenotypic method like multiplex PCR and detecting capsule synthesis, invasions toxin’s, Adhesions and side-rophores, The study also focused on a specific gene CHUA having ability in heme iron acquisition system and investigation of various virulence determinants expressed by UPEC and their relationship with antibiotic resistance.
Methods: Total 15 clinical samples of UPEC were isolated, identified and screened for antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Kirby Bauer disc diffusion test and micro broth dilution method were used to measure the antibiotic sensitivity testing of UPEC isolates. The susceptibility was tested by measuring the zone size after impregnated with antibiotic discs.
Results: The interpretation of zone size was done according to the proposed protocol of Clinical Laboratory and Standard Institute (CLSI). Majority of UPEC isolates (22%) were sensitive to tetracycline followed by Norfloxacin (18%). However, least sensitivity was observed against ampicillin (2%) and no sensitivity was experienced against cephalosporin (0%) and penicillin (0%).
Conclusion: It has been concluded that majority of UTI patient were suffering from UPEC. Resistance of UPEC against frontline drugs increasing rapidly. Thereby rational and appropriate use of antibiotics is the only way to save important therapeutic options.

Implicaciones de los sistemas de contabilidad de gestión sobre los recursos humanos
Authors: Tirado Valencia Pilar 
Published: May 2020

Los recursos humanos tienen una importancia creciente en todas las facetas de la gestión empresarial. A pesar de ser un recurso con un peso cada vez menor en la estructura de costes de las empresas, debido a una mayor automatización de los procesos y al desarrollo de la tecnología, se han convertido en un factor estratégico para la competitividad empresarial. La contabilidad, como responsable de ofrecer información relevante para la toma de decisiones, no puede permanecer ajena a esta realidad. Por ello, frente a los sistemas contables que han venido implantando tradicionalmente las empresas, preocupados por la simple determinación del coste de personal, la gestión de los recursos humanos debe orientarse hacia la potenciación de valores y actitudes en los individuos. En este artículo, su autora expone sus conclusiones acerca de las implicaciones que las modernas herramientas surgidas recientemente en el ámbito de la Contabilidad de Gestión tienen sobre los recursos humanos. Muchos de sus comentarios son fruto de los contactos mantenidos con empresas que han decidido implantar los denominados «sistemas de costes y de gestión basados en las actividades» y de la experiencia adquirida tras la participación en proyectos encaminados hacia el diseño de estos sistemas.

Authors: Castro Freire María Sol 
Published: May 2020

La Gestión de la Calidad Total (GCT) es un modelo de gestión de las organizaciones articulado sobre el principio de que todos los procesos y productos de una organización deben mejorar continuamente con el objetivo de satisfacer las necesidades y expectativas de los clientes. Al analizar los aportes de la GCT al campo de conocimiento de la gestión de las organizaciones se encuentra que ha tenido lugar un proceso de intercambio y absorción con otros enfoques, de los cuales aquélla ha tomado los elementos que ha considerado válidos y les ha dado una nueva configuración. No son los elementos lo novedoso sino la manera en que se organizan y se orientan hacia los objetivos por medio de la mejora continua de todos los aspectos del trabajo de la organización.

Problematic aspects interdenominational and state-denominational relations in the socio-political situation in Ukraine
Authors: Tytarenko Vita , Fylypovych Liudmyla O. 
Published: May 2020

This article examines the socio-political situation in Ukraine in its interconfessional and state-confessional aspects and problems.
The article substantiates the connection between the socio-political situation and security in Ukraine, analyze the effects of Russian aggression, particularly in the humanitarian sphere, where religion becomes an element of hybrid warfare. The religious component is manifested in the desire of the aggressor country to keep Ukraine in the orbit of its interests, making it part of the "Russian world".
The authors identify and substantiate the external and internal risks that hold the potential to change the vector of movement of the religious situation in the country, determine its nature, structure, functioning and so on.
On the basis of wide statistical material presented by the sociological service of the Oleksandr Razumkov Center, the changes in social and religious consciousness were investigated, its dependence on the influence of the military conflict in the East of Ukraine and annexation of the Crimea were analyzed, the changes in the attitude of the religious community. Modern Church-confessional changes are characterized by a decrease in the authority of the UOC (MP) and the number of its believers. Therefore, the technologies of the UOC (MP) (more precisely the ROCinU), which hinder the transition of the UOC (MP) communities to the OCU and the destabilization of inter-denominational and state-denominational relations, are studied.
Investigating the search / constitution / restoration of the identity of Ukrainian churches in modern conditions, the authors highlight the phenomena of a global nature and internal factors, under the influence of which a gradual "crystallization" of this identity takes place.
In the context of the general paradigm of religious freedom within which the research is conducted, objective prerequisites have been established that should provide the country with the standards of religious freedom and religion that are necessary for a democratic state (real religious pluralism, traditionally tolerant attitude of Ukrainians from representatives of different denominations, in the collective Ukrainian identity) and the risks involved in the exercise of religious freedom.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates of Salmonella enterica subsp. Enterica isolated in Ukraine during the period of 2014–2017
Authors: Rublenko N. M. , Holovko A. M. 
Published: May 2020

The results of the study of sensitivity to antibacterial drugs in isolates of Salmonella enterica isolated from poultry are shown in the article. Antibacterial sensitivity was determined by disc diffusion to such drugs: ampicillin, cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, tetracycline, doxycycline, streptomycin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim. Growth retardation zones were interpreted according to the CLSI standard. Among the isolates tested, a significant percentage of isolates resistant to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin were found – (19 (63.3 %) and – 21 (70 %), respectively. A significant number of isolates were also resistant to beta-lactams. In particular, 37 isolates (64.9 %) were resistant to ceftazidime, and 36 (63.1 %) to ceftriaxone. However, ceftriaxone resistance was dominant among S. typhimurium isolates, whereas in Enteritidis this indicator was significantly lower. However, the highest resistance of the studied isolates were shown to the beta-lactam class – cefoperazone (70.17 %). Only 6 isolates (20 %) were sensitive to nalidixic acid but did not detect any isolates sensitive to ciprofloxacin. This is a significant problem because quinolones are used to treat invasive salmonellosis. In this study, 12 (40 %) isolates were sensitive to ampicillin, 9 (30 %) to cefoperazone, 10 (33.3 %) to ceftriaxone and 9 (30 %) to ceftazidime. The lowest number of strains was resistant to trimethoprim – 9 (30 %) and chloramphenicol – 8 (26.6 %). Unfortunately, the use of the latter is limited due to the possibility of serious side effects. Overall, the group of poultry isolates tested reflects a general upward trend in antibiotic resistance. The findings present new data on resistance and provide prospects for further studies on this aspect of salmonellosis.

Fluoroquinolones are critical antimicrobials for both human and veterinary medicine. Due to their unique mechanism of antimicrobial action and good pharmacokinetic properties, they are often the first choice drugs in the treatment of bacterial infections in animals. The purpose of the investigation was to study the antimicrobial activity of a third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic of danofloxacin against bacteria, pathogens of respiratory and intestinal infection in goats. The samples of the nasal outflows (respiratory infection) and fecal masses (intestinal infection) were collected from clinically ill goats for microbiological studies. The sensitivity test of the microflora of the biomaterial, carried out by the disco-diffusion method, showed that the microorganisms of all the samples were sensitive to danofloxacin. Bacteria Streptococcus pneumonia (n = 10), Staphylococcus aureus (n = 4) and Escherichia coli (n = 2) were isolated and identified from nasal exudate samples (n = 10). Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli were isolated from all faecal samples (n = 12). The degree of bacteriostatic activity of danofloxacin was determined by establishing its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for bacterial isolates by sequential dilutions in a liquid nutrient medium. The average MIC of danofloxacin for Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates was 0.26 ± 0.13 μg/ml and for Staphylococcus aureus isolates – 0.25 ± 0.075 μg/ml. For Escherichia coli strains isolated from faeces of goats suffering from coli infection, the average MIC of danofloxacin was 0.38 ± 0.12 μg/ml (range 0.2 to 0.8 μg/ml). Antimicrobial sensitivity testing have shown a high level of bacteriostatic activity of danofloxacin against bacteria, pathogens of respiratory and intestinal infections in goats. This may be the argument for the use of danofloxacin-based chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of bacterial infections in goats, especially for the empirical approach to therapy.

Published: May 2020

Successful development of poultry farming can be achieved not only as a result of the creation of highly productive new breeds of geese, the improvement of diets for nutrients, but also in the conditions of stable epizootic well-being of infectious and invasive diseases. Parasitic diseases of domestic waterfowl account for a large proportion of other diseases and cause significant damage to geese farming. Among helminthiases of geese, infections caused by nematodes parasitizing in the gastrointestinal tract of birds, in particular Trichostrongylus tenuis, are quite common. The aim of this study was to study the distribution of trichostrongylosis among populations of domestic geese in the territory of Poltava region, Ukraine (Velyka Bahachka, Hlobyne, Hrebinka, Zinkiv, Karlivka, Poltava, Myrhorod, Shyshaky districts). The conducted scatoscopical studies showed that the average extensity and intensity of trichostrongylosic infestation was respectively 22.9 % and 89.7 ± 8.2 eggs per 1 g of poultry feces. Invasiveness in the region studied ranged from 17.2 to 26.7 % and from 20 to 380 eggs per 1 g of feces. At the same time, it was found out that the degree of affliction of domestic geese by the agent of trichostrongylosis in farms with different capacity and technology of keeping was significantly different. In individual farms and farms, the extensity and intensity of the invasion of geese is higher (24.4 % and 97.7 ± 10.7 eggs per 1 g of feces) than in the specialized geese farms (16.1 % and 70.3 ± 15.1 eggs in 1 g of feces). It has been found that goose trichostrongylosis is more frequently present in the mixinvasions of the digestive canal of the bird along with protosooses and nematodoses. Extensity of mixinvasions reaches 18.1 %, which is 78.9 % of the total number of patients at geese trichostrongylosis. Extensity of trichostrongylosic mono-invasion was 4.8 % (21.1 % of the total invasion of T. tenuis birds). The results of the conducted studies lead to a further, deeper study of the issues of epizootic features of trichostrongylosis of geese, taking into account the seasonal and age dynamics of invasion, as well as the effectiveness of therapeutic and preventive measures.
