The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on numerous industries, including the event industry, resulting in widespread disruptions. cancellations of festivals have been direct consequence pandemic, and, following reopening, those that taken place to implement changes response new guidelines and regulations created as result pandemic. In this study, we examine experiences held 2021 Ves...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important multi-drug resistant (MDR) opportunistic bacterium. 102 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa equally isolated from human and cow milk were subjected to Multiplex-PCR for detection of ESBLs and exoenzymes of U, T, S, OprI, and OprL, Integrons class A encoding genes and genotyping by the ERIC-PCR and PFGE methods. The disc diffusion and E-test based on CLSI (Cl...

We present the case of a 62-years-old male, diabetic, in treatment with metformin, who was hospitalized because of jaundice and itching. He presented symptoms of jaundice the previous year. It was performed a cholangioRNM, a study of autoimmunity and hepatitis serology, but all these studies were normal. However, a hepatic hydatid cyst was detected and surgically operated. The patient had taken...

Myocardial fibrosis is regarded as a pivotal proarrhythmic substrate, but there have been no comprehensive studies showing a correlation between the severity of fibrosis and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTAs). Our purpose was to document this relationship in a transgenic (TG) strain of mice with fibrotic cardiomyopathy. TG mice with cardiac overexpression of β2-adrenoceptors (β2-AR mice) and n...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate CHROMagar CTX (CHROMagar France), a novel agar for the selective isolation of Enterobacteriaceae expressing the bla(CTX-M) gene in the presence of enteric bacteria expressing AmpC enzymes. METHODS A panel of 150 Gram-negative bacteria (mainly Escherichia coli, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Salmonella) isolated from humans and animal...

BACKGROUND NXL104 potentiates ceftazidime and ceftaroline against Enterobacteriaceae with extended-spectrum, AmpC, KPC and OXA β-lactamases. We examined whether similar potentiation was obtained against non-fermenters, which are less permeable than Enterobacteriaceae and have more potent efflux. METHODS MICs of ceftazidime+NXL104 (with NXL104 at 4 mg/L) and comparators were determined by CLSI...

BACKGROUND The most common hospital-acquired pathogen is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is a multidrug resistant bacterium causing systemic infections. OBJECTIVES The present study was carried out in order to investigate the distribution of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from various types of hospital infections in Iran. PATIENTS AND ME...
