Mycobacterium malmoense is an opportunistic pathogen with increasingly recognized clinical importance. It is mainly isolated in northern Europe and Great Britain, most often from patients with pulmonary infections. Conventional therapy of M. malmoense infections with antituberculosis drugs is often of limited value, and there is thus a need for improved drug regimens. The potential efficacies o...

It is known that many bacteria are susceptible to low pH, but it less clear how the acid nature influences this susceptibility. The objective of work was evaluate susceptibility selected different pH conditions and understand if their tolerance affected by type (organic vs inorganic) in media acidification. Strains species human pathogenic were cultivated at acidic conditions, using organic or ...

The aim of this study was to explore the plasmid characteristics of eight clinical Enterobacteriaceae strains containing extended broad spectrum beta-lactamases and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance. Plasmids were transferred by conjugation or transformation and resistance determinants were investigated by PCR. We showed that at least one plasmid harbouring qnrB or qnrS determinant was tran...

background: enterococci faecalis are predominating species of enterococci causing nosocomial infections. acquisition of resistance to antibacterial agents, and ability to transfer the resistant genes made them clinically important. this study was performed to determine the frequency of isolation of different species of enterococci , and the antibacterial resistance pattern of the isolated speci...
