Background and Aims: This study aimed to investigate the amount of Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients' urine with Gram-positive cocci infections Materials and Methods: The microbial culture was prepared from 100 urine samples and the results were recorded. The genus and bacterial were species identified and an antibiogram test was conducted to investigate their resis...

dermatophilosis is a bacterial skin infection and wet conditions like, raining and dipping predispose sheep to it. a great economic loss can be caused by this disease because of its effect on the quality of wool. in iran (near saveh), there was an outbreak of the disease in a herd and the clinical manifestation was different from that of typical dermatophilosis. diffuse wide alopecic area accom...

background and objectives: infection is the most common cause of death among burnt patients and infection control decrease the rate of mortality. the use of sticky mat can control contamination by preventing the entrance microorganisms into the hospital wards. this study was designed to evaluate the sticky mats effect in reduction of microorganism’s entry by personnel shoes to burn intensive ca...

The pneumococcus is the classic Gram-positive extracellular pathogen. The medical burden of diseases it causes is amongst the greatest in the world. Intense study for more than 100 years has yielded an understanding of fundamental aspects of its physiology, pathogenesis, and immunity. Efforts to control infection have led to the deployment of polysaccharide vaccines and an understanding of anti...

Purpose: We researched microbial profiles and the antimicrobial resistance profile of wound infection of the pelvic area in Korea for the recent 5 years in order to provide useful information on the choice of adequate drugs in the treatment of pelvic wound infection. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 211 pelvic wound culture samples and their antimicrobial resistance in 198 ino...

Respiratory tract infections and skin and soft-tissue infections frequently are caused by gram-positive cocci, and treating these infections with standard antibiotics has recently become problematic. Many of the primary pathogens causing these infections are now resistant to current standard treatment regimens. In addition, the frequency of these infections is increasing, particularly among pat...

Actinomycetes are increasingly recognized as pathogenic in the immunocompromised host. We isolated an asporogenous, nonmotile, aerobic gram-positive rod from a transplant recipient with a fatal pulmonary infection. The pathology was similar to that associated with Rhodococcus equi, including intra-histiocytic localization. The organism was relatively inert in standard biochemical tests. 16S rRN...
