Plants used for traditional medicine contain a wide range of substances which can be used to treat various infectious diseases. Hence, antibacterial activities of ethanolic extracts of 19 plant species were studied against multi-drug resistant clinical isolates using agar well diffusion method. Extracts of Liquidambar orientalis, Vitis vinifera,?? ?????????????????????? ????????????????????,...
متن کاملAnalysis of some common pathogens and their drug resistance to antibiotics
OBJECTIVE To investigate the common bacterial resistance of clinical isolates in our hospital in the second half of 2011. METHODOLOGY Pathogens isolated from clinical samples in the second half of 2011 were analyzed and categorized to perform susceptibility tests. RESULTS In the gram-negative bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli accounted for 55.89% and 34.5...

متن کاملAggressive Chemotherapy and the Selection of Drug Resistant Pathogens
Drug resistant pathogens are one of the key public health challenges of the 21st century. There is a widespread belief that resistance is best managed by using drugs to rapidly eliminate target pathogens from patients so as to minimize the probability that pathogens acquire resistance de novo. Yet strong drug pressure imposes intense selection in favor of resistance through alleviation of compe...
