background: enterococci have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infections and within this group, enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium cause the majority of human and livestock enterococcal infections. in this article, we tried to determine antibiotics and metals resistance patterns of e. faecalis and e. faecium strains. methods: one hundred sixty different strains of e. faecalis ...

Urinary tract infection ( UTI) is a common disease , which may occur as Asymptomatic in both sexes at any age. Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women can particularly cause problems for both mother and her fetus. Therefore in this study 950 pregnant women who have been referred to Tabriz university and private, gynaecology clinics for routine pregnancy cares, and had no sign s of UTI were s...

background: bacteremia due to enterococcus faecalis is usually caused by strains resistant to most antibiotics. effective management of the disease is dependent on rapid detection and characterization of the bacteria, and determination its sensitivity pattern to antimicrobial drugs. the aim of this study was to investigate a more rapid and reliable assay for simultaneous diagnosis of enterococc...

introduction: due to more resistance of pathogenic bacteria to new and current antibiotics researchers are looking to find the agents of herbal with antimicrobial activities in order to replace chemical drugs. methods: the herbal extract of withani somnifera was done by using a rotary vacuum, 20 strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from urinary infections hospitalized patients in cit...

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...

objective: aminoglycosides are highly potent, broad-spectrum antibiotics with many desirable properties for the treatment of life-threatening infections. escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection (uti). antibiotic resistance has recently become prevalent. enzymatic inactivation of aminoglycosides by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes is the main mechanism of r...

to prevent post cholecystectomy infection, the most common microorganisms causing it and their antibacterial susceptibility pattern should be determined. therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the exact incidence and nature of the microbial flora in the bile of the patients with cholelithiasis and chronic cholecystitis as well as their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. in this s...

to retrospectively evaluate the treated cases with odontogenic abscess and identify the outcome of odontogenic infections, their characteristics and treatment modalities.this retrospective study was performed by collecting data from 310 patient records at the oral and maxillofacial surgery department of taleghani hospital, tehran, iran from january 2001 to january 2011. the variables were age, ...

background: neonatal septicemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. the most common pathogens of bacterial sepsis and antibiotic sensitivity patterns may vary in different areas of the world. understanding the etiology of bacteriological profiles is very important and helps to reduce the associated mortality. the aim of this study was to assess prevalence of bacterial and antibiot...

INTRODUCTION There is a shifting trend in susceptibility and resistance of the bacteria towards available antibiotics in the last decade. Therefore, periodic studies to monitor the emerging trends in antibiotic susceptibility and resistance are crucial in guiding antibiotic selection. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the most common pathogens causing bacterial conjunctivitis,...
