background: urinary tract infection (uti) is considered as the most common bacterial infectious disease seen among the pediatric patients. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial uropathogens isolated from the pediatric patients with urinary tract infections. methods: this descriptive study was conducted in children medial center, te...

Nanomaterials are increasingly used to the targeting of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacterial infections are a major cause of chronic infections and mortality. People requirement for new materials for pathogenic bacteria treatment. It seems that nanomaterial-based strategies can be resolving this problem. In this research, improved antibacterial na...

Glycopeptide antibiotics have long served as drugs of last resort for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacterial infections. Resistance to the clinically relevant glycopeptides, vancomycin and teicoplanin, threatens to undermine the usefulness of this important class of antibiotics. DNA extracted from a geographically diverse collection of soil samples was screened by PCR for...

Intracellular killing of bacteria is one of the fundamental mechanisms against invading pathogens. Impaired intracellular killing of bacteria by phagocytes may be the reason of chronic infections and may be caused by antibiotics or substances that can be produced by some bacteria. Therefore, it was of great practical importance to examine whether phage preparations may influence the process of ...

This review aimed to compare data regarding the effectiveness and safety of linezolid and vancomycin in the treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections. PubMed and other databases were searched to identify relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Nine RCTs studying 2489 clinically assessed patients were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, there was no difference between linezolid a...

Gram-positive pathogens are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in both community and health care settings. Glycopeptides have traditionally been the antibiotics of choice for multiresistant Gram-positive pathogens but there are problems with their use, including the emergence of glycopeptide-resistant strains, tissue penetration, and achieving and monitoring adequate serum levels. N...

conclusions: the study findings revealed that the catheter infection in our patients had sources other than normal skin flora. these results will assist in determining the possible source of the infections, furthermore, how they are transmitted, moreover aid in controlling and preventing these dangerous in- infections. results: forty-four out of 60 catheters (73.3%) were positive with a signifi...

background and purpose: chronic granulomatous disease (cgd) is an inherited disorder of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (nadph) oxidase complex. this disorder results in recurrent life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections. aspergillus species are the most common fungal infections in these patients. case report: herein, we present a case of fungal infection in a girl with ...

Summary answer The proportion positive-bacterial-semen-cultures North-Afrian was 5.9%: Tunisian-patients positive rate 5.8%. Algerians 7.9% Lybian 4.7%. known already Numerous bacteria can influence spermatogenesis process at different levels disrupt spermatozoa development, m...
