متن کاملGenotyping of Candida albicans isolated from animals using 25S ribosomal DNA and ALT repeats polymorphism in repetitive sequence
Background and Purpose: Candida albicans is the most prevalent Candida species isolated from animals. Candidiasis can be systemic in animals or may affect a single organ, such as the mouth, urinary tract, and skin. The aim of the present study was to determine the genetic diversity of C. albicans isolated from different animals and investigate the presence of a relationship between host specifi...
متن کاملSelfishness among healthcare workers and nosocomial infections: a causal relationship?
Hand hygiene remains the single most important measure that can be undertaken by healthcare workers to prevent nosocomial infections. It has been 167 years since the pioneering study by Semmelweiss proved it effective1, and with the recent spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria in hospitals, hand hygiene is now more important than ever2. Despite being simple, effective, safe, and cheap, the wor...
متن کاملRapid microarray-based genotyping of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli serotype O156:H25/H-/Hnt isolates from cattle and clonal relationship analysis.
Since enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) isolates of serogroup O156 have been obtained from human diarrhea patients and asymptomatic carriers, we studied cattle as a potential reservoir for these bacteria. E. coli isolates serotyped by agglutination as O156:H25/H-/Hnt strains (n = 32) were isolated from three cattle farms during a period of 21 months and characterized by rapid microarray...
متن کاملPrevalence of nosocomial infections in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Nosocomial infections represent a serious public health concern worldwide, and, especially, in developing countries where, due to financial constraints, it is difficult to control infections. This study aimed to review and assess the prevalence of nosocomial infections in Iran. Methods: Different databases were searched between January 2000 and December 2017. To determ...
