Animal manure is commonly used as fertilizer for agricultural crops worldwide, even though it is believed to contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance from animal intestines to the soil environment. However, it is unclear whether and how there is any impact of manure fertilization on populations and community structure of antibiotic-resistant endophytic bacteria (AREB) in plant tissues....

Background: Antibiotics called macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin B (MLSB) are being used to treat staphylococci infections. Multiple pathways that impart resistance to MLSB antibiotics have been confirmed to cause clinical failure. The present work aimed to determine the frequency of constitutive and inducible clindamycin resistant among coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates o...

background and objectives : salmonella is one of the leading causes of food-borne diseases. increasing occurrence of antimicrobial resistance, especially multidrug-resistance, in salmonella serovars is a major public health problem worldwide. this study was carried out to detect class i integrons and antibiotic resistance profiles in clinical isolates of salmonella serovars collected from seven...

conclusions despite the higher frequency of s. aureus nasal carriage in the interns, compared to the first year students, the difference did not reach statistical significance. therefore, attendance at medical centers cannot be considered a risk factor for increasing carriage. results out of the 200 nasal swabs obtained, the overall nasal carriage of s. aureus was 24.5% (49/200). the prevalence...

the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria is becoming a serious problem. the rise of multiresistance strains has forced the pharmaceutical industry to come up with new generation of more effective and potent antibiotics, therefore creating development of antivirulence compounds. due to extensive usage of cell-to-cell bacterial communication (qs) systems to monitor the productio...

introduction urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in childhood. appropriate treatment of uti requires to knowledge about antibiotic resistance patterns of common uropathogens. the aim of this study was to determine demographic, symptoms, signs and antibiotic resistance pattern in admitted infants with clinically diagnosis of uti in 17 shahrivar hospital of rasht ma...

background and objective: gastroenteritis is one of the most important diseases in the world. this disease is more critical among children, people with immune deficiency and the sufferers from mal-nutrition. shigella spp. as the most important cause of dysentery, causes much mortality around the world. increasing antibiotic resistance is one of the major health problems. this research aimed to ...

background and aims: acinetobacter baumannii is regarded as an important nosocomial pathogen around the world, especially in the intensive care unit that today seems to be resistant to the most antibiotics. therefore, this study aimed to trace classes 1, 2, and 3 integrin in the isolates resistant to acinetobacter baumannii. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, acinetobacter bauman...

conclusions the potential to form biofilm correlated with antibiotic resistance and ampc production in non-burn burn isolates of a. baumannii. on the other hand, the burn strains produced significantly higher amounts of esbl yet biofilm production was unrelated to antibiotic resistance or esbl-production. materials and methods sixty isolates of a. baumannii were employed of which, 30 were burn ...

conclusions only a few number of health workers do respect hygiene rules before and after catheterization. therefore, it is necessary to train health workers involved in such activities on good hygiene practices during catheterization. results two days later, (48 hours after the catheterization), 14 patients out of 60 (23.33%) presented with a urinary infection, of which 1 patient (1.66%) was a...
