Association of tcdA+/tcdB+ Clostridium difficile Genotype with Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Strains Conferring Metronidazole Resistant Phenotype

Background: Reduced susceptibility of Clostridium difficile to antibiotics is problematic in clinical settings. There is new evidence indicating the cotransfer of toxin-encoding genes and conjugative transposons encoding resistance to antibiotics among different C. difficile strains. To analyze this association, in the current study, we evaluated the frequency of toxigenic C. difficile among th...

Prevalence of metronidazole-resistant clostridium difficile: a meta-analysis in Iran

Background: Metronidazole resistant clostridium difficile is one of significant pathogens in Iran. It is one of the WHO-declared microbial resistance emergencies. Prevalence of metronidazole resistant clostridium difficile is rising. The aim of this study was to detect prevalence of metronidazole-resistant clostridium difficile using meta-analysis in Iran. Methods: This study was conducted as ...

The effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Berberies vulgaris on multidrug- resistant gram-negative pathogenic bacteria

Background and Aim: In recent years, due to the indiscriminate and irrational use of synthetic drugs, the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms has increased; therefore, new compounds are vitally needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Berberis vulgaris on Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteu...
