	Introduction: Probiotic activity of L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus was great intend to treat pathogenic organism. The antibiotic resistance problem, it is important to develop Lactobacillus based approaches to combat Citrobacter koseri, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens, Morganella morganii, and Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris and Klebsiella aerogenes-induced urinary tract infections, catheter-associated infections, and intestinal tract infections in the current situation.&#xD;
	Aim/Objectives: In this study, our goal was to assess the in vitro antimicrobial activity of L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus against clinical isolates of MDR, XDR, Non-MDR and ESBL strains of C. koseri, E. cloacae, S. marcescens, M. morganii, P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris and K. aerogenes.&#xD;
	Methods: Antibiotic susceptibility of the test strains was determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The antimicrobial activities of treated and untreated L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus against the above mentioned MDR, XDR, Non-MDR and ESBL pathogens were determined by agar overlay spot test. Mean zone of inhibition was statistically analyzed using ANOVA single factor.&#xD;
	Results: Among L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus the mean value displayed the potent activity against most test isolates with mean zones of inhibition ranging from 4 to 15 mm and the p-value </Abstract><AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage><Keywords>Extensively Drug Resistance, Extended spectrum ?-lactamase, Multidrug resistance, Non-multidrug resistance, Probiotics, Zone of Inhibition</Keywords><URLs><Abstract>http://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=4791</Abstract><Fulltext>http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=4791</Fulltext></URLs><References>&#xD;

	Introduction: Improving maternal mortality is major challenge in health care system. Improving maternal health is one of the eight millennium development goals. WHO is currently recommending monitoring severe acute maternal morbidity or maternal near miss as a technique to evaluate the calibre of obstetric care and deploy new tactics for enhancing maternal health.&#xD;
	Aim and Objectives: We aimed to assess the globally used WHO model to measure quality of maternal care at a tertiary care hospital JNMCH, AMU, Aligarh.&#xD;
	Material and Methods: The hospital-based prospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University of Aligarh between Sep 2020 to Oct 2022.&#xD;
	Results: Total number of live births in hospital during study period were 15420 out of which maternal near miss (MNM) were 882 and maternal death (MD) were 88. Maternal near miss to maternal death ratio was 9.9:1 and mortality index was 9.05%.&#xD;
	Conclusion: MNM and MD cases have same underlying pathophysiology with completely different outcome. By monitoring large number of cases with MNM helps in understanding the various causes of maternal adverse events and finding out gaps in management protocols /strategies more efficiently than auditing only maternal deaths.&#xD;
