Evaluation of Stability of Cefamandol and Ceftazidime with Clavulanic Acid Against Extended Spectrum ?- Lactamase
...Show More Authors

The aim of this study is to evaluate in-vitro activity of Cefamandol (Cfm) and Ceftazidime (Cfz), in combination with Clavulanic acid (CA) against ten complicated multiresistant uropathogenic E.coli .One hundred clinical strains were isolated from patients with chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs), these isolates were identified by the Api identification systems. The antimicrobial susceptibility tests were determined by Kirby-Bauer method, all of them were sensitive to Imipenem (Imp). Ten strains were chosen for the present study, they were resistant to Ampicillin (Amp), Amoxicillin (Amo), Carbenicillin (Cb), Ticarcillin (Tic), Azlocillin (Azl), Amoxicillin\ Potassium Clavulanate {Augmentin(Amc)}, (Amo\CA), Ticarcillin\ Potassium Clavulanate {Timentin} (Tic\CA) ,Cefazolin (Cfo) ,Cefaloridin (Cfr), Cefamandol, (Cfm),Cefoxitin, Ceftazidime (Cfz), Cefixime   (Cxm), Cefoperazone( Cfp) and Aztreonam (Atm), also resistant to other antibiotics, Tetracycline(Tc),Cloramphenicol(Cm),Gentamycin(G),Amikacin (Amk), Ciprofloxacin (Cip) and Trimethoprim. 50% of the isolates were resistant to Nalidixic acid and Rifampicin. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of Cefamandol and Ceftazidime were determined, by tube method. Transfer of plasmids were done by direct conjugation test to sensitive standard E.coli ,cell free β- lactamases were prepared and detected by macro-iodometric method. The activity of each cell free ß– lactamases extract against Cfm and Cfz were determined by disks diffusion method (microbiological Masuda method). Excellent activities were obtained against these strains when Cfm and Cfz, combined with CA, therefore complete zones of inhibition were obtained indicated the prevalence of extended spectrum β- lactamases in E.coli. The stability of Cfm and Cfz in the presence of CA were useful in the treatment of chronic urinary tract infections caused by multiresistant β- lactamase (ESBL) producer E.coli.

Key words: Extended spectrum β- lactamases, Imipenem, Aztreonam, Ceftazidime.

Effect of different acids surface treatments and thermocycling on shear bond strength of composite resin to feldspathic ceramic
...Show More Authors

Background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different surface acids treatments (37%phospjoric acid, 5%hydrofluoric acid, 1.23 acidulated phosphate fluoride) of feldspathic ceramic VITA 3D MASTER , and the effect of thermocycling on shear bond strength using a ceramic repair kit (ivoclar/vivadent). Material and Methods: sixty Nickel-Chromium metal base plates were prepared(9mm diameter,3mm depth) using lost wax technique, 2mm thick layer of ceramic(VITA 3D MASTER) fused to metal plates, all specimens were embedded in acrylic resin blocks except their examined surfaces and divided into 3 main groups 20 specimens each, Grp A: treatment with 37%phosphoric acid for 2 mins, Grp B: etching with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 2mins,

Technology of Education and the Technical Reality of Education in Sudan: Analytical Samples: أسماء محمد الأمين محمد البشير
...Show More Authors

This study aims to examine the technologies of education and their importance, shedding light on their reality and  status in Sudan especially in the secondary stage. It has become necessary to invest these technologies and include them in different aspects of the technical education curricula. Such a step helps cope with the innovative scientific development in the advanced countries, qualify professors and technicians, develop the factories and workshops, and create an attractive technical educational environment to the pupils. Thus, the researcher has adopted a descriptive analytical approach that is based on conducting pilot visits to certain technical schools in Al-Khartoum state. Different aspects of such schools were examined
