abstract introduction: septicemia is an important and common cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. several factors such as genetic, social, hygienic and nutritional factors are effective on the frequency of bacterial pathogens in neonatal septicemia, several studies have performed to determine common pathogens in the different parts of the world. objective: comparison of neonatal bacterial...

background cystic fibrosis (cf) is a genetic disease with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. cf caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) gene and characterized by impaired transport of chloride ions across the cell membrane. staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, and burkholderia cepacia have been identified in the cultures of re...

The title compound, C(7)H(14)N(4), represents the first structurally characterized, isolated triaza-adamantane. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into columns about the crystallographic fourfold axis.

background: enterococcus spp., belonging to the group of lactic acid bacteria, are gram-positive ubiquitous commensals of the intestines of human beings as well as warm-blooded animals. the main objective of this study was to determine the occurrence and antimicrobial resistance of enterococcus spp. isolated from lettuce and irrigation water in abidjan, côte d'ivoire. methods: a total of 7...

background : republic of azerbaijan is considered as an area with high prevalence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. uncontrolled travelling of azerbaijanis people to iran is the issue that needs to be considered as an important issue. methods : this study was conducted on 32 patients with tuberculosis from baku–nakhchivan and 48 patients from iran during 2012 to 2014. colonies of mycobacter...

conclusions: this study highlighted the need to establish antimicrobial resistance surveillance networks for p. aeruginosa to determine the appropriate empirical treatment regimens. the high prevalence of multidrug resistance and production of esbls in p. aeruginosa isolates confirms the necessity of protocols considering these issues in the hospitals. results: the resistance against broad-spect...

background: one of the fundamental issues of infectious disease treatment is drug resistance. the aim of the present study was to investigate the first-line anti-tuberculosis drug resistance rates and determine the risk factors related to multidrug resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis.methods: from march 2011 to september 2012, mycobacterial strains were collected from one hundred fifteen diagn...

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 methods and pcr for oprl gene. their...

results the k. pneumonia isolates were resistant to erythromycin (70%), cefixime (53.3%), tetracycline (50%) and ceftazidime (36.6%). the amplification of teta and tetb genes of k. pneumonia revealed that all of the isolates harbored these genes. conclusions resistance to tetracycline and other antibiotics, and the presence of various resistance genes in k. pneumonia strains are alarming signs ...
