Coagulase negative staphylococci have been recognized as one of the important cause hospital acquired infections in recent past. It has become difficult to manage these due emergence multidrug resistance them. The aim this study was determine antibiotic sensitivity trend all Staphylococci isolates using modified Kirby- Bauer disk diffusion technique. To assess for coagulase staphylococci, Kirby...

results of total 60 s. aureus isolates, 51 (85%) were mrsa, and of 60 cons, 7 (11.66%) were mrcons. the results showed that the mic of chlorhexidine for all 120 isolates was 1-16 μg/ml. 15 (12.5%) isolates carried qaca/b gene, 26 (21.7%) carried qacc gene, and 38 (31.7%) carried smr gene. conclusions maintenance of mrsa isolates in the attendance of low amounts of antiseptics could result in th...

background: neutropenic patients are vulnerable to a wide spectrum of infectious agents. the aim of this study was to determine the current frequency of bacterial infections in patients with nosocomial fever and neutropenia. methods: in a retrospective study, the neutropenic patients’ specimens with nosocomial fever were cultured on blood and macconkey agar plates and evaluated at microbiology ...

The adherence of coagulase-negative staphylococci to smooth surfaces was assayed by measuring the optical densities of stained bacterial films adherent to the floors of plastic tissue culture plates. The optical densities correlated with the weight of the adherent bacterial film (r = 0.906; P less than 0.01). The measurements also agreed with visual assessments of bacterial adherence to culture...

Introduction: A large number of infectious processes are associated with opportunistic microorganisms. The phenotype antibiotic resistance such pathogens is multidrug-resistant strains the presence various β-lactamases. Our objective was to determine phenotypic and genotypic features staphylococci, enterobacteria, non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria – cause diseases in patients health facilit...
