[ 1 ] - Purification and evaluation of glycerol teichoic acid from biofilm forming Staphylococcus epidermidis as a putative vaccine candidate
Introduction: Biofilm forming Staphylococcus epidermidis is a main causative agent of infections related to medical devices. Purification and evaluation of Gly-TA polysaccharide from a biofilm-forming S. epidermidis as a putative vaccine candidate were the main goals of the current study. Methods: Taking advantage of size exclusion chromatography procedure, glycerol teichoic acid (Gly-TA) was p...
[ 2 ] - Comparison of the Effect of Phenylalanine Arginine Beta Naphthylamide (PAβN) and Curcumin on Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Aminoglycosides on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates
Background and Objective: Efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) can block efflux pumps and are helpful in potentiating the activity of aminoglycosides against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The present study compared the effects of phenylalanine-arginine beta naphthylamide (PAβN) and curcumin on aminoglycoside minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates. Materials and M...
[ 3 ] - Multi-drug Resistant Citrobacter freundii Isolates in a Burn Hospital in Northeast of Iran: A Single-Center Cross-sectional Study
Background: Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Citrobacter freundii (C. freundii) as a causative agent of nosocomial infections is a health threat, especially in hospitals. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of MDR C. freundii, considering isolation sites and a variety of utilized antibiotics. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the clinical samples of C. freundii s...
[ 4 ] - Antimicrobial Effects of Aqueous and Hydro-Alcoholic Plantago psyllium leaf extracts on the Experimental Infection of Helicobacter pylori in a Rat Model
Background and Objective: Plantago psyllium has long been utilised as a medicinal agent worldwide. The current study aims to evaluate the in vivo antimicrobial effects of aqueous P. psyllium and a hydro-alcoholic extract of P. psyllium on Helicobacter pylori as well as the effects of these extracts on liver and kidney in a rat model. Materials and Methods: A total number of 50 female Sprague D...
[ 5 ] - Prevalence of Bacterial Isolates Related to the Meningitis and Bacteremia in two Hospitals During 2016-2017
Background and Objective: Hospitals niche as a source and repository for microbial infections are playing a significant role in the health of hospitalized patients. Bacteria are playing an essential role in human and animal blood infections and meningitis. The prevalence of bacterial agents and their susceptibility patterns are fundamental goals of current research. Materials and Methods: Samp...
