pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important pathogens that causes nosocomial infections and shows high level of antibiotic resistance. integrons are one of the transposable elements in bacteria and their role in antibiotic resistance has been well demonstrated. the aim of this study was a molecular characterization of the integron genes and the determination of the resistance or sensiti...

Bacterial infections can be serious and require antibiotic treatment. However, the overuse of antibiotics has led to development antibacterial resistance, which make more difficult treat. This is a problem in Mexico, where published research on resistance limited. study aimed estimate prevalence bacterial at Hospital General del Estado Hermosillo, Mexico. Information was collected from 2,205 bi...

The results of the study on the survival of gram-positive bacteria on hospital fabrics (2) are certainly not to be taken lightly. However, the manner in which the materials were prepared for testing warrant clarification. First is the chemical formulation used in laundering the fabrics. In addition to their having been subjected to a cycle with a proven disinfectant of sodium hypochlorite (chlo...

BACKGROUND Large reductions in the incidence of antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium difficile have been observed in response to multifaceted hospital-based interventions. Reductions in antibiotic-sensitive strains have been smaller or non-existent. It has been argued that since infection control measures, such as hand hygiene, should affect resistant and sensit...

objectives in this study, we explored a physical method of converting drug-resistant bacteria to drug-sensitive ones. materials and methods this is an in vitro case-control study, performed at the ionizing and non-ionizing radiation protection research center (inirprc), shiraz university of medical sciences (sums), shiraz, iran in 2014. all experiments were carried out using gram-negative bacte...

Background and Aims: Identifying meningitis-causing bacteria play an important role in selecting the appropriate antibiotic vaccine and reducing the complications of meningitis. The present study aimed to identify the most common bacteria causing meningitis in patients referred to Afzalipour Hospital in Kerman. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 60 patients have participated...
