Resistance of Shigella strains to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Isfahan province
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella spp. in Isfahan, (Iran) from 2010 to 2015. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on Shigella isolates in four tertiary care hospitals. The process of bacterial isolation and determination of susceptibility was performed by standard microbiological guidelines. The pat...
متن کاملIdentification of Shigella species and their antibiotic resistance patterns from dysenteric patients in Baradaran Rezaei hospital of Damghan, Northeast of Iran
Shigella is a major cause of dysentery across the world. Appropriate antibiotic treatment of shigellosis depends on resistance patterns. The present study was conducted to identify Shigella species and their antibiotic resistance patterns among dysenteric patients in Rezaei Hospital of Damghan. Isolation of Shigella species was conducted by specific culture medium and biochemical tests. The Shi...
متن کاملExpression of Regulated Oncogen-Alpha by Primary Hepatocytes Following Isolation and Heat Shock Stimulation
High levels of regulated oncogen-alpha (GRO-a) expression have been observed in the liver. GRO-a stimulates proliferation of epithelial cells and induction of rolling and extravascular migration of neutrophils and mononuclear cells. Given the above observations, this chemokine was chosen to be analyzed in freshly isolated and cultured hepatocytes. In this study, hepatocytes (2×106 cell/ml) were...
متن کاملEfficient isolation of campylobacteria from stools.
Engberg et al. (2) compared selective media and filtration for the efficient isolation of campylobacteria from stools. Since 1977, we have routinely isolated campylobacters from the diarrhetic stools of pediatric patients at the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. In 1990, the use of antibiotic-containing plates was discontinued, and the Cape Town protocol, the first to co...
متن کاملDemonstration of pathogenic bacteria in "sterile" inflammatory exudates.
One hundred and twenty-seven exudates from inflammatory processes, judged sterile after incubation on standard isolation media, were further investigated. This involved the exclusion of slow-growing strains by a further 48 hours incubation of the primary plates and subcultures from hypertonic broth that had been inoculated concurrently with the initial cultures. Over 80% of otherwise sterile ex...
