ABSTRACTAmong 220 clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacilli collected in India during 2000, 22 strains showing elevated imipenem MICs were evaluated for carbapenemase production. One DIM-1-producingPseudomonas stutzeriisolate was detected, and no other carbapenemase-encoding genes were identified. This detection of a DIM-1-producingP. stutzeriisolate from India predating the finding of this gene in the index Dutch strain and the very recent detection of DIM-1 in Africa suggest an unidentified environmental source of this metallo-β-lactamase gene.

A patient presented with complaints of a sudden decrease in vision, ocular redness, and pain in the right eye. The patient had a history of clear lens extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for myopia 2 years previously. He had been prescribed topical steroids for episodes of inflammation that occurred repeatedly every 1–2 months. With a presumptive diagnosis of chronic endophthalmitis, a 23-G transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with delivery of intravitreal antibiotics was performed the next day. Culture sensitivity testing of the vitreous sample indicated <i>Pseudomonas stutzeri</i> that was sensitive to ceftazidime and gentamicin. Two weeks later, the patient presented with sudden loss of vision and all the signs of recurrent endophthalmitis. 23-G transconjunctival sutureless PPV was performed along with removal of the posterior chamber IOL through a corneal incision. Complete resolution was only achieved after removal of the IOL, resulting in excellent visual recovery. Due to its chronic and fulminating nature, <i>P. stutzeri</i> can induce endophthalmitis and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Aseptic measures are the best prevention.

Abstract Background The context and purpose of the study are as follows: Drug-borne infections may arise from non-adherence to strict microbiological quality of pharmaceuticals products. Moreover, presence of exceeding levels of microorganisms in non-sterile pharmaceuticals may lead to change of their organoleptic characteristics and loss of effectiveness. The aim of the study is to evaluate the microbiological quality of commonly used non-sterile pharmaceuticals in Alexandria, Egypt. Results Average microbiological quality of the studied products, where 17.03% and 19.23 % of samples had exceeded the maximum acceptable limit of TAMC and TYMC, respectively. No E. coli was isolated from oral products. None of S. aureus nor P. aeruginosa were isolated from topical products. Bacterial growth was recovered from 19 (10.44%) of the studied 182 samples, four Bacillus spp. had been recovered from topical products, two P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered from tablets and other two were isolated from syrups dosage forms. Other isolates were Pseudomonas stutzeri, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Acinetobacter Achromobacter denitrificans, Ochrobactrum anthropic and Aeromonas salmonicida. Conclusion Average microbiological quality of the tested pharmaceuticals used in Alexandria.
