Rapid Sensor Based Technology: A Novel Tool for Direct Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing in Urinary Tract Infection

Microbial Etiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bactria Implicated in Urinary Tract Infection in Tehran, Iran

Background and Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infectious diseases with different microbial agent and antimicrobial resistant pattern in hospitalized patients and outpatients. In order to assess the adequacy of therapy, knowledge of prevalence and resistance pattern of the bacteria is necessary. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and ...

Utility of rapid microbiological techniques for the diagnosis of severe infections.

Rapid diagnostic microbiological techniques and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are necessary for early and adequate treatment. The utility of old (Gram stain, antigen detection, direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing, chromogenic media) and new techniques (molecular assays, MALDI-TOF) is summarized for the rapid diagnosis of bacteraemia and fungaemia, catheter-related bloodstream inf...

Frequency and antimicrobial resistance pattern of pathogens implicated in urinary tract infection at a hospital in Tehran.

Purpose: Urinary tract infection is acommon infectious presentation in the community practice.It is also the most common cause of antimicrobial resistance in the society. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequencyand antimicrobial resistance pattern of the uropathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on the pati...

Application of Laser Light Scattering Technology in Rapid Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infections and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing in a Tertiary Children’s Hospital

Detection of Efflux Pumps Genes in Fluoroquinolones Resistant and Sensitive strains of Escherichia coli isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection in Qom

Abstract Background and Objectives: Efflux pumps are one of the main mechanisms for antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli strains. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between 5 different efflux pump genes; acrA, acrB, emrA, emrB and mdtk and fluoroquinolone resistance in E.coli Isolated from patients with urinary tract infections in Qom. Methods: In this descriptive cr...
