OBJECTIVES Otitis media (OM) is an infectious disease that affects all age brackets. Aural discharge is a typical symptom, occurring in all subtypes of OM. We have compared the identity and antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated from aural discharges of adults and children with various types of OM, including acute OM (AOM), OM with effusion (OME), chronic OM (COM), and cholesteatomatous OM...

In this study in order to determine prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis and sensitivity of the organism to antimicrobial agents specimens were treated in  the outpatient clinic of Taleghani hospital in Tehran. Specimens were considered positive for bacterial vaginosis (BV) which were positive three times out of four. The tests include; finding clue cell, amine  test, homogenesity of this discha...

The Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), is a major pathogen responsible for a variety of infectious diseases ranging from cellulitis to more serious conditions such as septic arthritis and septicaemia. Timely treatment with appropriate antibiotic therapy is essential to ensure clinical defervescence and to prevent further complications such as infective endocarditis or o...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the normal flora of conjunctiva and lid margin, as well as its antibiotic sensitivity. DESIGN This was a prospective cross-sectional study. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 120 patients who underwent cataract surgery at the Phramongkutklao Hospital from September 2014 to October 2014. Conjunctival and lid margin swabs were obta...

background: drug resistance is widely believed to be an increasingly serious threat to global public health. we have previously reported that short term exposure of microorganisms to diagnostic ultrasound waves could significantly alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. in our previous studies, klebsiella pneumoniae showed major differences in the sensitivity to antibiotics in exposed and non-e...

Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat. Fifty non repetitive multi drug resistant gram negative bacterial isolates were screened for ESBL, AmpC, ESBL-AmpC co-production using antibiotic tablets. Of these 56% were Escherichia coli, 16% were Klebsiella spp., 39.6% produced ESBLs, 17.2% AmpC and 13.8% showed co-production. Antibiotic tablets sensitivity for ESBL detection was 93.9% compared to ...
