Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammation of the middle ear and mastoid cavity, persisting for more than 2 weeks. is one of the most common organisms to cause CSOM. Carbapenems are among the most effective antibiotics used against infections resistant to carbapenems is often associated with production of metallo-ß-lactamases strains. Detection of MBLs producing strains can be effective for optimal treatment of patients for the control and spread of resistance. The main purpose of the study is to determine the imipenem resistant carrying metallo-ß-lactamase (MBL) genebla in Patients of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media at a Tertiary care hospital”This was a cross sectional study carried out in the Department of Microbiology and ENT Department for a period of 1 year between July 2021 to July 2022. A total of 185 patients clinically suspected cases for CSOM were studied. Swabs taken from discharging ears were sent for Gram’s staining, culture and antibiotic sensitivity test as per the latest CLSI guidelines. The isolates were further tested for MBL by screening test, by Imipenem – EDTA combined disc test, and MBL E test (Imipenem). The DNA was extracted by using Qiagen DNA Extraction kit and gene for isolates was detected by conventional PCR.In our study the number of cases clinically diagnosed of having CSOM was 185, out of which 63 (34%) was found to be culture positive for CSOM infection. Males were 38 (60.3%) as compared to that of female 25 (39.6%), Both the ears affected were almost in equal distribution, with the left ear being 32 (50.7%) and the right ear being 28 (44.4%) while in 3 cases (4.7%) it was bilateral. Gram negative bacilli were (74.6%), being the most common isolate with 47.6% followed by 19% and among the Gram positive isolates (25.3%). (12.6%) was the most common isolate. Colistin (96.6%), Piperacillin‑tazobactam (73.3%), Amikacin (76.6.3%), and Cefepime (73.3%) were found to be the most effective Antibiotics. The resistance to ciprofloxacin was (56.6%), Levofloxacin (50%), Piperacillin (46.6%), Gentamicin(36.6%), Imipenem (36.6%), Tobramycin (30%), Ceftazidime (30%). Out of 30 isolated 11(36.6%) were screening test-positives for MBL by Imipenem – EDTA combined disc test, and MBL E test (Imipenem). The bla gene was detected in all 11 (36.6%) of the isolates of In the present study being the most common isolate with Colistin, Piperacillin‑tazobactam, Amikacin, and cefepime to be the most effective antibiotics. Resistance of isolates to Imipenem due to MBL enzymes is increasing in the Kanpur region (36.6%). Judicial use of broad spectrum antibiotics, like Imipenem is the need of the hour, hence knowledge of the etiological agents of CSOM and their antibiogram is of paramount importance for an efficient treatment and prevention of both disease complications and antimicrobial resistance.
Isolation of salmonella typhi from pleural empyema necessitans- A case report from a tertiary care hospital, Bangalore, Karnataka
Authors: Narayanaswamy Girish , Dey Supriya 
Published: December 2022

Pleural Empyema necessitans refers to the extension of an empyema out of the pleural space and in to the neighbouring chest wall and surrounding soft tissues.Salmonella typhi is a versatile pathogen with amazing potential of infecting almost all organs of its host. Globally, the life threatening illness caused by Salmonella typhi have made this pathogen a serious health concern for infection control professionals. Salmonella typhi usually manifests as a febrile illness with bacteremia after initial entry through the gastrointestinal route, but it can occasionally cause significant disease in extraintestinal sites. Various microbes have been found associated with pleural cavity abscesses that ultimately lead to high morbidity and mortality rates, but pulmonary involvement due to Salmonella infection is rare. We are reporting an unusaual and rare case of pleural cavity abscess caused by Salmonella typhi in a 44 years old febrile patient, admitted to a tertiary care hospital, Bangalore with a complaints of swelling on the left sided chest wall. Diagnosis was made by HRCT THORAX which revealed an well defined hypodense collection with peripheral rim enhancement in anterior chest wall around 7th to 8th costochondral junction, communication with left pleural cavity. Pus was collected from the abscess by incision and drainage. Salmonella enterica serotype typhi was isolated from the sample. Patient was put on appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Authors: Bondarenko О. Yu. , Myronov S. L. 
Published: December 2022

During the study of flora of ecotopes of the railway tracks of the Dniester embankment, 14 localities of the North American species Cenchrus longispinus were identified. On the sand the plants are better developed, have more lateral shoots. On crushed stone substrate, especially in the interrail space of the railway, plants are low – 7 (10) cm high. In addition, Cenchrus longispinus on the Dniester embankment was found in areas where no radical transformation of the ecotope (beach) is detected.
Problem. The adventive species Cenchrus longispinus (Hack.) Fernald in Ukraine is at the expansion stage. It poses significant potential threat to the environment due to stress tolerance, wide ecological amplitude, high degree of naturalization, significant coenotic activity and so on. Much attention is now being paid to the study of the conditions for the emergence and naturalization of new adventitious species, especially quarantine ones.
Cenchrus longispinus originates from North America and is distributed with grain bulks. The species has spread to many countries - it has been found in South Africa, India, Moldova, Russia, in a number of European countries. Навести яких.
In Ukraine, the species was first detected in the southern regions. It is a kenophyte, agrio-epecophyte and belongs to the quarantine organisms that are partially distributed in Ukraine (A-2). In the ecological sense, the species prefers arid soil conditions. It is a heliophyte, in ecological and coenotic terms - a psammophyte. Most of its populations are concentrated in anthropogenic ecotopes.
Methods. In the summer of 2021, anthropogenically transformed areas of the Dniester embankment were surveyed by a route method. The flora of the railway tracks between the railway stations Karolinа-Bugas and Sonyachna was studied.
Results. 14 localities of Cenchrus longispinus were identified. Their coordinates are given in the publication. Plants are mostly localized in areas of unauthorized or organised pedestrian crossings over railway tracks. The substrate is crushed stone of railway tracks or adjacent sandy soil.
Conclusions. On sand plants, by sight, are better developed, have more lateral shoots, are higher. On the crushed stone substrate of railway tracks, especially in the interrail space, the plants are low - 7 (10) cm high. Specimens on both types of substrate, even those that undergo moderate and severe mechanical damage by pedestrians, possess a significant number of grown additional shoots. Almost all shoots have developed fruit.
Cenchrus longispinus on the Dniester embankment is represented not only in areas with strong anthropogenic impact, but also where human influence is moderate or apparently nonexistent. However, all surveyed areas are visited by pedestrians or vacationers.

The analysis of materials on approaches, methods and models of research of strength and durability of torsion shafts of systems of suspension of light armored vehicle is carried out. It is concluded that despite the existing significant theoretical developments, the analysis of elastic-plastic deformation of materials of highly loaded structures, including torsion shafts, requires the development and adaptation of appropriate models. The approach to a number of studies on this issue also needs to be developed. As a result of a number of researches, the following model of stress-strain state was performed. The generalized parametric description of the stress-strain state of the torsion shaft contains varied design and technological factors and process parameters. The mathematical model of the stress-strain state of a torsion bar of incremental type has been formulated. It accounts for the contact and elasto-plastic deformation of the material of the torsion bar. At the same time, the stress-strain state depends on the loading history. A parametric model provides advantages in justifying rational technical solutions. This applies to both design and technological solutions. Also, all significant factors at all stages of the life cycle of torsion bars are taken into account. These factors have significant interplay. Ultimately, the determined design, technological and operational parameters satisfy the conditions of the increased strength and durability of torsion bars. The mechanical and physico-mechanical properties of materials used to manufacture the torsion bars are another important factor with regard to these criteria. Accordingly, a complex workflow is established in order to design and improve the torsion bars for the suspension systems of light armored vehicles with increased technical characteristics.

The paper contains generalization and development of approaches, models and research methods for contact interaction of complex shaped bodies. In the case of contact along the surfaces of a close shape there are a number of problems. Firstly, analytical methods are not universally applied. Secondly, with a small gap between the surfaces of the contacting bodies the contribution of the deformation of the intermediate and surface layers to the balance of displacements becomes substantial. Thirdly, the application of traditional numerical methods also sharply increases the contribution of errors in contact surface shape approximation. All these factors bring on the need to develop new approaches, models and methods for the analysis of contact interaction of complex shaped bodies. For this purpose, the apparatus of the theory of variational inequalities is applied to deliver Kalker’s variational principle. In addition, a new principle for deriving multiple models of contact interaction of complex shaped bodies has been developed. It consists in gradually increasing the number of physical factors that are taken into account when building these models. This makes it possible to form a sequence of varied parametric models by taking into account new factors while naturally avoiding conflict situations. Furthermore it ensures inheritance in the sequence of models of different levels. The proposed improved approaches, models and methods are illustrated by the case study of the contact interaction of bodies with the intermediate layers located between them.
