background and aim: in recent years, due to the indiscriminate and irrational use of synthetic drugs, the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms has increased; therefore, new compounds are vitally needed. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of berberis vulgaris on escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, proteus mirabilis, citrobacter frund...

    In conclusion, UTI is a globally distributed disease with emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria; thus, new drug discovery or activation of previously used drugs is an urgent issue. Methenamine has been suggested as a beneficial agent for the UTI prevention as it works as a urinary antiseptic by safely producing formaldehyde to prevent bacterial growth while avoiding bacterial resistance...

The resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics is increasing due with incorrect doses, wrong diagnostics, and the target. Bacteria that have been resistant several are called multi-drug organisms (MDRO) bacteria. Bacterial some requires alternative herbal treatments, one which Chromolaena odorata L. Research must therefore be conducted on antibacterial activity ethanol extract fraction C....

a total number of 259 gram negative bacteria (entero-bacteria) isolated during the years 1973-1974 was examined. these strains were isolated from sick children referred and or hospitalized in a children hospital in tehran. the strains consisted of ; 131e.coli, 52 salmonella, 40 klebsiella, 18 shigella, 13 proteus, 3 enterobacter and 2 citrobacter. sensitivity tests were performed according to t...

patient noncompliance to current tuberculosis (tb) therapy owing to multidrug administration daily leads to treatment failure and emergence of multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant tb. to avoid the daily dosing, application of nanotechnology is the only viable solution by virtue of sustained release of drugs. other potential advantages of the system include the possibility of selec...

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has led to the need for newer classes agents. Herbal medicines provide one preferred route drug discovery due their chemical diversity. This study aims evaluate activity Cymbopogon citratus in treatment bacterial gastroenteritis. Aqueous and methanol extracts C. were used study. Ciprofloxacin (a broad spectrum antibiotics a choice bacteria gastroenterit...

BACKGROUND The spread of multi-resistant infections represents a continuously growing problem in cirrhosis, particularly in patients in contact with the healthcare environment. AIM Our prospective study aimed to analyze epidemiology, prevalence and risk factors of multi-resistant infections, as well as the rate of failure of empirical antibiotic therapy in cirrhotic patients. METHODS All co...
