[ 1 ] - Investigation of the resistance of Acinetobactor baumanii strains isolated from Tehran’s hospital inpatients in terms of selected antibiotics

Background and Objective: The presence of the resistant bacteria in different wards of hospitals and problems which are thereby made by these organisms in treating patients specify the necessity to identify this type of bacteria and their antibiotic resistance pattern. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the resistance related to 60 samples of the isolated Acintobacter bauman...

[ 2 ] - Antimicrobial Effects of Zinc Oxide and Silver Nitrate Nanoparticles on S. aureus, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa

Background and Objective: Nanoparticles have been introduced as novel antimicrobial agents because of their properties that are different from their bulk properties. Present study was aimed to investigate antimicrobial activity of silver nitrate and zinc oxide nanoparticles against three main bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii. Materials a...

[ 3 ] - Prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumonia in Patients with Respiratory Infections from Shaheed Mostafa Khomeini and Khatam Hospitals by Culture and PCR Methods

Background and Aims: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most important pathogens causing human respiratory tract infection; especially in community-acquired pneumonia (responsible for 10 – 40% of these infections).The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumonia in patients with respiratory infections from Mostafa Khomeini and Khatam hospitals, by culture and molecu...

[ 4 ] - Isolation and determination of antibiotic resistance patterns of urinary tract infections pathogens in patients who referred to Pol-e Dokhtar medical centers during 2016-2018

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...
