materials and methods one hundred ssis specimens were obtained by needle aspiration from purulent material in depth of infected site. these specimens were cultured and incubated in both aerobic and anaerobic condition. for detection of antibiotic susceptibility pattern in aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, we used disk diffusion, agar dilution, and e-test methods. results a total of 194 bacterial ...

background: increase of people’s awareness about side effects of chemical food preservatives has raised public interest to consume products with natural preservatives such as essential oils. garlic (allium sativum l.) is one of the medicinal plants in traditional medicine of iran and it is necessary to evaluate its antimicrobial effects on some food borne bacteria such as e.coli o157:h7. this b...

This study investigated the synergy testing of penicillin, cephalosporin, amphenicols, and aminoglycoside in camel milk (n=768 samples), subsequently used for isolation MDR S. aureus targeting mecA gene. Antibiotic susceptibility showed >90% isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin trimethoprim resistant against oxacillin, ampicillin, cefoxitin. Further, 50-85% gentamicin, oxytetracycline, chlo...

Nanotechnology is a new and specific method for therapy of diseases. Nanosilver particle is one of the functional fields of nanotechnology. It has been shown that these nanoparticles have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Different studied have been shown that nanoparticles may have important role in medicine. For example, it has been shown to have inhibitory effects on the treatment of ...

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are considered as the most commonly used host for industrial manufacturing of therapeutic proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hygromycin B in both CHO-DG44 and CHO-S cells since hygromycin B resistance cassette can be used for future selection of gene expression in CHO cells. The minimum inhibitory conce...

Despite in vitro demonstrations of synergism against enterococci, combinations of cephalosporin and aminoglycoside antibodies have been ineffective in the therapy of enterococcal endocarditis. Penicillin-gentamicin, cephalothin-gentamicin, and cefazolin-gentamicin were used to treat enterococcal endocarditis in rabbits. A direct relation was observed between the rate of cure and the degree by w...
