Objective: This study gives an overview of prescribing pattern of antibiotics in children in our tertiary care teaching hospital. Methods: It is a prospective observational study carried out on paediatric in-patients with a sample of 160 patients based on age, inclusion, and exclusion criteria for a period of 6 months. The patient’s data were collected using a patient case record form and the data analysis was done. Results: Out of 160 patients data that were collected, the results showed that the majority of gender which were admitted to the hospital were male children 89 (55.62%), and many were from the age group of early childhood (6-12 years) 64 (40.00%). Respiratory tract infections were the diagnosis most commonly analyzed; overall, 236 prescribed antibiotics, cephalosporins 121 (51.21%) were commonly evident, and parenteral 161 (68.22%) – route of administration was observed to be followed more than other routes. Conclusion: Antibiotic Resistance is a worrisome factor worldwide, challenging treatment regimens. Surgeons & Physicians worldwide find it difficult to cope with the increased resistance...

Antimicrobial activity of stem bark of Mangifera indica was determined using the disk diffusion method to determine the susceptibility or resistivity of Staphylococcus species to the plant extract. Ethanol extract showed the highest inhibition zone diameter of 34mm, while the aqueous extract showed a zone diameter of 23 mm. The ethanol proved to be a better solvent, and the Staphylococcus species was found susceptible to the ethanolic extracts. The stem barks extracts can be used to develop new antimicrobial compounds. Survey results revealed a need to increase awareness to limit the overuse of harmful chemical cosmetics as skin care products and augmentation in the use of organic extract for skincare products among...

For the synthesis of a series of novel Coumarin derivatives, an efficient and easy approach has been designed. 1H-NMR and Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) characterize the structures of freshly synthesized compounds, which are then evaluated for antibacterial activity in vitro by calculating the zone of inhibition and minimum inhibitory concentration. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of 4-[(2-oxo-2-[5-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-1, 3-thiazol-2-yl] aminoethyl] amino] benzoic acid was comparable to that of ciprofloxacin and fluconazole. The reaming compounds had moderate to good...

In today’s world, the medicine enterprise is among the quickest developing companies because of outbreaks of diverse sicknesses and antimicrobial opposition of diverse microbes towards typically utilized antibiotics. The control of diverse sicknesses and the traditional topic of treatment along with Ayurveda and home-based treatments also carries out a vital function within the part. Consequently, using an idea from home-based treatments and Ayurveda, these studies was created and done to show the anti-bacterial usage of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis leaves scientifically. A realize that is relative been achieved to judge the anti-bacterial pastime of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis towards Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi from decided on leaves of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis from unique geographic places. The leaves of the plant are seen to function as the maximum green component with anti-bacterial pastime towards diverse pathogens analyzed. The anti-bacterial pastime of methanolic and chloroform extracts is analyzed with all the help of utilizing the disk diffusion technique. The ethanol extract of leaves has a greater pastime that is anti-bacterial chosen...

Background: Antimicrobials are used for prophylaxis and treatment of infections that occur following surgical procedures to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with surgical site infections (SSIs). A surgical site infection is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. These are infections of the tissues, organs, or spaces exposed by surgeons during the performance of an invasive procedure. Objective: To assess the cost of antimicrobials therapy used within different types of surgeries. Methods: A prospective, non-interventional, observational study in the department of pharmacology for 9 months. Sample size: 330. Results: In our study clean 113 (34%), dirty 102 (31%), and clean-contaminated 90 (27%) wound surgeries were the most commonly performed surgeries. Contaminated wound surgeries were the least commonly performed surgeries (8%) in our study. The cost of antimicrobial therapy in patients with clean-contaminated (median-220), contaminated (median-352), or dirty wound surgeries (median-546) was significantly high as compared to clean wound surgeries (median-160). Also the cost of antimicrobial therapy in patients...
