چکیده
Oxytetracycline: source and mechanisms of resistance. Oxytetracycline (Terramycin) is a naturally produced tetracycline antibiotic of Streptomyces rimosus, with a spectrum of activity similar to chlortetracycline and tetracycline and remarkable thermostability (16). In plant agriculture, oxytetracycline is used in the USA primarily on pear and apple for fire blight management. Oxytetracycline is also important for the management of a serious disease of stone fruits (e.g. peach and nectarine) in the USA called bacterial spot, caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (6,14).

Cloning and Expression of Two New Recombinant Antimicrobial Dermaseptin B1 Peptides in Tobacco to Control the Growth of Human Bacterial Pathogens
Background and purpose: Rapid emergence of traditional antibiotic-resistant pathogens is one of the most important global challenges in medical sciences. To this end, substitution of current antibiotics with strong antimicrobial peptides could be of great benefit. Materials and methods: In this study, the DNA sequence encoding dermaseptin B1 (DrsB1) antimicrobial peptide derived from Phyllomed...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common human bacterial infections. The frequent use of antibiotics is associated with increased resistance of many bacterial agents to the treatment.Materials and Methods: A total of 9456 urine specimens were collected from patients referring to Pol-e Dokhtar health centers. All urine samples were inoculated on blood agar plates...

The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strains and antibiotic resistance of the isolates in raw milk and unpasteurized cheese. Out of 200 samples of raw milk and 50 samples of unpasteurized cheeses, 96 and 24 strains of E. coli were isolated, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detec...
متن کاملExpression and antimicrobial activity analysis of dermaseptin B1 recombinant peptides in tobacco transgenic plants
Recently, new molecular breeding and genetic engineering approaches have emerged to overcome the limitations of conventional breeding methods in generating disease-resistance transgenic plants. The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to produce transgenic plants resistant to a wide range of plant pathogens has achieved great success. Among huge number of AMPs, Dermaseptin B1 (DrsB1), an antimi...
متن کاملAntibiogram analysis and tracking of the virulence-related genes in Enterococcus faecalis isolates
Background and Aim: Enterococcus species are opportunistic pathogens and their pathogenicity seems to be related to the presence of a number of pathogenicity genes. Since donkey’s milk is a new non-allergenic source of nutrition, this study was performed to assess the antibiogram and detection of pathogenicity genes in some Enterococcus faecalis isolates from donkey’s milk. Materials and Method...
