Results of antituberculosis drug susceptibility test can provide clinicians very important informations for selection of proper regimens for treatment. Methods : In this study the results of antituberculosis drug susceptibility test of 298 cases at Kyunghee Medical Center from 2000 to 2003 were retrospectively analysed to evaluate the trend of antituberculosis drug susceptibility. The procedure of drug susceptibility test was based on the absolute concentration method using Lowenstein-Jensen solid media. Results : The resistance rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to one or more drugs was increased

Abstract Background: In the present study, the prevalence and risk factors for acquisition of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli in intensive care unit (ICU) settings without outbreak in the situation of widespread sequence type (ST) 131 ESBL-producing E. coli in a Korean community was investigated. Methods: Consecutive and prospective screening of ESBL-producing E. coli colonization was performed in all patients admitted to surgical or medical ICUs within 48 hours for two months. ESBL genotype was determined based on PCR and sequencing. PCR for O16-ST131/O25-ST131 was performed for all ESBL producers. Clinical
