Purpose: In this study, we have focused on antibacterial effect of newly synthesized thiazole, imidazole, and tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives in Iran on listeria monocytogenes. Materials and Methods: For evaluation of antibacterial effect, the disk diffusion method was applied to measure the growth inhibition zone diameter and broth micro dilution was performed to determine the minimum inhibit...

Background and Aim: This research aims to study the qualitative melissopalynology analysis, Glucose oxydase (GOX) activity, and the antibacterial effect of honey samples from different botanical and geographical origins. Materials and Methods: Five natural honey samples were collected from local beekeepers. The antibacterial effect was carried out towards pathogenic bacteria including Escheric...

In this nationwide study we investigated the occurrence of aminoglycoside resistance patterns and prevalence of the aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs), aac(6), ant(2) and aph(3), in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species, E. coli, Klebsiella species and Pseudomonas species isolates from various clinical specimens. A total of 319 clinical specimens recovered from urine, blood, wound, ca...

Background: Bacterial resistance to the commonly used antibacterial agents is an increasing challenge in the medicine, and a major problem for the health care systems; the control of  their spread  is a constant challenge for the hospitals. Objectives: In this study, we have investigated the antimicrobial activity of the Zinc Oxide nanoparticles against clinical sample; Yersinia intermedia bact...

background: wound infections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. etiologic agents of wound infections vary with geographical locations. this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of wound infections, the effect of age and gender on the prevalence as well as the etiologic agents and their susceptibility to antibacterial agents. methods: wound swabs collected from 2061 p...

introduction: vaginitis is an inflammatory and infectious disease in human host that involved vaginal mucosa. increase of resistance to various antibacterial agent has been very significant in three or four recent decades and this important subject reveals the use of new and natural sources such as plants with medical and antimicrobial property for eradication of these infections. therefore, th...

Concentrations of 20 mug of sulfadiazine or 30 mug of d-cycloserine/ml were found to be suitable for testing the differential susceptibility of Chlamydia trachomatis and C. psittaci to these drugs in cell cultures.

Introduction. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), occurring in 2-11% of pregnancies, is a major predisposition to the development of pyelonephritis, which is associated with obstetrical complications, such as preterm labor and low birth weight infants. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ASB, the antibacterial susceptibilities of the isolated microorganisms and the associated r...
