[ 1 ] - Relative Gene Expression of RND-Type Efflux Pumps in Tigecycline Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Isolated from Training Hospitals in Tehran, Iran

Background: Appearance of multi-drug resistance (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii imposes limitation on antibiotic therapy in patients. Detection of MDR A. baumannii can play a crucial role to prevent MDR strains spreading in hospitals. The aim of this study was determination the efflux pumps gene expression in tigecyclin resistance strains in collected isolates from selected training hospitals in ...

[ 2 ] - Antibacterial Effects of Citrus aurantium on Bacteria Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection

Background :  Emerging antibacterial resistance rates and beta-lactamase producing bacteria recovered from UTI is an increasing problem in different regions, limiting therapeutic options. Therefore, this survey consider to use the extract and essence of the citrus aurantium (which have a so many rate of planting in Iran) and also survey on extract on bacteria whose cause urinary tract infe...

[ 3 ] - بررسی فیلوژنی سویه‌های سالمونلای جدا‌شده از نمونه‌های بالینی بیمارستان‌های تهران براساس تعیین توالی ژن 23S rRNA

زمینه و هدف: باکتری سالمونلا یکی از مهم‌ترین عوامل گاستروانتریت باکتریایی و بیماری‌های ناشی از غذا است. تاکنون بیش از ۲۵۰۰ سرووار از این جنس شناسایی‌شده که اکثر آنها برای انسان بیماری‌زا هستند. ساختار فیلوژنی خانواده انتروباکتریاسه براساس توالی ۱۶S rRNA تنوع وسیعی ندارد. بنابراین این ژن به دلیل میزان توالی بالای حفاظت‌شده در ساختار خود، نمی‌تواند مشکلات طبقه‌بندی را در گونه‌های نزدیک به هم حل ک...

[ 4 ] - Histopathological study on acute toxicity of nanochelating based silver nanoparticles in mouse model

For the therapeutic application and drug delivery of AgNPs in medicine, pharmacy and cosmeticproducts, it is essential to know the distribution and local or systemic toxicity associated with them.For this purpose, this study was carried out to assess the potential consequences of skin injection ofnanochelating based synthesized AgNPs on the mice models. Nanochelating technolog...

[ 5 ] - Molecular investigation of Campylobacter spp. and salmonella infection in children with community acquired diarrhea

Introduction: Acute gastroenteritis is a typical disorder that accounts for 8-12% of pediatric outpatient visits. Campylobacter and Salmonella infections account for about 8.4% and 11% of global diarrhea cases. Due to the importance of these bacteria in pediatric diseases, the aim of this study was to determine the infectious rate of Salmonella and Campylobacter species and also the frequency o...
