Resistance Pattern of Enterococci Isolated from Nosocomial Infections in the Hospitals Located in Gonbad and Gorgan Cities
Abstract Background and Objective: Enterococci are normal flora of human body and considered as the third leading cause of nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to determine drug resistance of Enterococcus species through biochemical methods. Material and Methods: One hundred twenty-eight of enterococcus suspected samples were isolated from gorgan and gonbad’s hospitals from Ap...
متن کاملResistance Pattern of Enterococci Isolated from Nosocomial Infections in the Hospitals Located in Gonbad and Gorgan Cities, Iran
Abstract Background and Objective: Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of acquired bacterial infections in the respiratory system. In recent years, a high incidence of pneumococcal resistance to different antibiotics has also been appeared. This study was conducted to evaluate the in vivo and in vitro resistance of pneumococcal pneumonia to ceftriaxone, azithromycin and co-amoxicl...
متن کاملEnterococci and vancomycin resistance.
The frequency of infections with multiply antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria is increasing, and in some cases these organisms remain susceptible only to the glycopeptides vancomycin and teicoplanin. The appearance of transferable high-level glycopeptide resistance in enterococci--producing some strains that are now resistant to all available antibiotics--is thus a cause for concern. Th...
متن کاملDistribution of Enterococcal Species and Detection of Vancomycin Resistance Genes by Multiplex PCR in Tehran Sewage
Enterococci are important because of their role as the leading cause of nosocomial infections which have a significant role in the dissemination and persistence of antimicrobial resistance genes. Methods: In this study, we determined the distribution of enterococcal species in the sewage treatment plants in Iran. Furthermore, we improved a rapid and specific PCR method using primers (sodA and ...
متن کاملAnti-Microbial Resistance of Enterococci Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in Iran
Background: During the last decade, enterococci have become important nosocomial pathogens, representing the second leading cause of urinary tract infections. This increasing prevalence has been paralleled by the occurrence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and high-level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) strains. Methods: From September 2005 to 2006, a total of 638 enterococcal isolates were collected ...
