Antibiotic resistance, haemagglutination type & haemolysin production in relation to serogroups of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

A total of 56 urinary isolates of Esch. coli were characterised according to serotype, haemagglutination (HA) type, production of beta haemolysin and antibiotic resistance pattern. Forty five strains were serotyped with prevalence of 057 followed by other serotypes. Eleven different Esch. coli serotypes were found to have mannose resistant haemagglutinating property (MRHA) and just five strains showed haemolysin production (Hly+). Multidrug resistance was common with preponderance of ampicillin, co-trimoxazole and tetracycline resistance. No correlation between serogroup, HA type, haemolysin production and antibiotic resistance was found.

Incidence of Gardnerella vaginalis infection in pregnant & non-pregnant women with non-specific vaginitis.

The occurrence of G. vaginalis in patients with non-specific vaginitis (NSV) was studied. Of the 200 women with vaginitis screened, 84 were diagnosed to have non-specific vaginitis. G. vaginalis was isolated from 33 (39.28%) patients either alone or in combination with other organisms, while one of the healthy controls with no vaginal discharge yielded G. vaginalis on culture. The nature of vaginal discharge could not be correlated with the type of infection. Clue cells and amine test gave inconsistent results in the presence of G. vaginalis infection. A varying susceptibility pattern of G. vaginalis was observed against various antimicrobials, metronidazole (95%) and gentamicin (75%) showing highest sensitivity.

Cholera epidemic in Solapur during July-August, 1988.

Of the 77 Vibrio cholerae isolated during July to September, 1988, 76 were El Tor vibrios serotype Ogawa, 68 belonging to T2 phage (eight strains untypable). Peak incidence was noted in the month of August, 1988. Haemolytic and non-haemolytic colony variants of El Tor V. cholerae were encountered. All strains showed resistance to one or more antibiotics. No fatality was reported during the epidemic. The epidemiological data collected over the past three years (1986-88) show that cholera is prevalent in the local environment.

Microbiological studies in conjunctivitis.

A total of 102 cases of clinically diagnosed cases of acute conjunctivitis were included in the present study. The sample was collected from the inflamed conjunctiva and was subjected to conventional bacterial and fungal cultural studies. The allergic element was found out by studying the smear after Giemsa staining and demonstrating increased number of eosinophils. The data revealed that 32 samples had an evidence of bacterial infection, 14 showed isolation of fungi and one displayed an allergic etiology. Thirty cases showed presence of mixed infection in different combinations while 25 samples were sterile on conventional culture media. Microbiological studies are essential for confirmation of clinical diagnosis and to institute an appropriate treatment.
