Background & Aim: The use of antibiotics for life threatening infections depends on periodic study of resistance patterns among isolated organisms in various settings and age groups especially in the era of increasing resistance. This study was performed to determine the microbiological characteristics of blood stream isolates in the neonates and children as a high risk population at a communi...

Background & Aim: Antibiotic resistance among gram-negative bacilli is currently one of the major challenges for the health system in developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and antibiotic resistance pattern of common ESBL-producing gram negative bacilli isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients in Falsafi Hospital in Gorgan. Methods: In this ...

 AbstractObjectives: This research aims at the empirical study of resistance and transference twin factor in patients with and without personality disorders. Method: In this empirical study with repeated measurements, 26 subjects with personality and anxiety disorders and 26 subjects with anxiety disorder without personality disorders were randomly assigned to two experimental and control subgr...

Received: 14 April, 2009 Accepted: 21 Oct, 2009 Abstract Background & Aims: Antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens is a worldwide problem. The selection of initial treatment is made on an empiric basis and susceptibility testing is important to modify empirical therapy, especially for treatment of common bacterial pathogens. The aim of the present study was to determine the antimi...

Strictosidine synthase-like (SSL) is a group of gene families in the Arabidopsis genome, which whose orthologues in other plants are key enzymes in mono-terpenoid indole-alkaloid biosynthesis pathway. The SSL7 is upregulated upon treatments of Arabidopsis plants with signaling molecules such as SA, methyl jasmonate and ethylene. To find the functional role of the gene, a T-DNA-mediated knockout...
