Introduction of Extend spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) strain of Escherichia coli Isolation On the last refresher training workshop of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance, it has been decided to expand the scope of AMR surveillance by including the surveillance of Extended-spectrum β- lactamase ( ESBL) strain of E. coli from urine samples of OPD/Indoor patients Iactam antimicrobial agents in Gram-negative bacilli including E. coli. The term extended-spectrum β- lactamase is generally applied to plasmid-encoded β- lactamases that are capable of inactivating extended-spectrum cephalosporins...

Introduction of Saline Wet Mount Microscopy Saline wet mount microscopy of the stool or stool wet mount microscopy is the simplest and basic method for the study of feces and is applicable in every medical laboratory even in a small setup. Saline wet mount microscopy uses for the following purposes- To observe live trophozoites ( e.g.  Entamoeba histolytica/dispar, Girdia lablia, Trichomonas, etc.) and larvae of parasites ( e.g. Strongyloides stercoralis) are motile except inactive forms.
