Background: This study was done to detect multidrug resistant (MDR) and extremely drug resistant (XDR) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among strains isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran, due to importance of these phenotypes in treatment of human infections. Methods: Eighty eightP. aeruginosa were isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran, and identified by routine...

Background: In order to select a better antibiotic choice for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, this study was conducted to determine the frequency of resistance to some antipseudomonal β-lactams in P. aeruginosa isolates from patients in Tehran, Iran. In addition, the relation between presence of genes known to be responsible for resist...

b ackg r oun d : pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important oppor- tunistic pathogens responsible for various types of infections. children suffer significant morbidity and mortality due to nosocomial infections. the aim of this study was to investigate the presence of class1 integron, blabel, blaper, blakpc, blavim, blaimp and blaoxagroup-1  genes among p. aeruginosa isolates at child...

To study the epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization in a 32-bed burn wound center (BWC), 321 clinical and 45 environmental P. aeruginosa isolates were collected by prospective surveillance culture over a 1-year period and analyzed by serotyping, drug susceptibility testing, and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Among 441 patients treated at the center, 70 (16%...

The presence of receptors for lactogenic hormones in human breast cancer tissue has been documented previously, but the relationship between the expression of these receptors and estrogen receptor (ER) status has not been adequately studied. In this report, the specificity of 125l-humangrowth hormone (HGH) binding in both cultured human breast cancer cell lines and tumor biopsies was studied to...

A 2-factorial (3x3) injection experiment was used to investigate the effect and interaction between different hormones on the initial phase of seawater (SW) acclimation in brown trout (Salmo trutta). Each fish was given 4 injections on alternate days in freshwater (FW). Factor 1 was either saline, 2 micrograms ovine prolactin (oPRL)/g, or 2 micrograms ovine growth hormone (oGH)/g. Factor 2 was ...

GLISI’ is a high-level language that. is compiled into LISP It provides a versatile abst~art,-dnt.a-t.ypc facility with hierarchical inheritance of pl oprl ties and object,-centered programming GLISP programs are shorter and more readable than equivalent LISP programs The object code produced by GLISP is optimized, making it about as cfflcient as handwritten LISP An integrated programming envir...
