conclusions the study results showed that stimulation of the american cockroach’s immunity system lead to production of antibacterial proteins and peptides which had inhibitory effect on the bacteria, depending on the bacterial strains and their sensitivity. likely this feature of insects can be used as therapeutic strategies to produce natural antimicrobial compounds against the pathogenic bac...

Determination of the frequency of bacteria isolated from blood culture and the pattern of their antibiotic sensitivity is epidemiologically of great importance and can help choosing primary antimicrobial treatment. The aim of the current study was to determine the most common bacterial factors of blood infection and their antibiotic sensitivity in a one year period from October 2010 till the en...

infectious diseases are one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality and the spread of resistant microorganisms is playing a significant role in this regard. the purpose of this study was to assess the trend in antimicrobial resistance of gram-positive bacteria at the main referral teaching hospital in tehran during a 4-year period. all patients' biological isolates such as blood, u...

introduction: the antimicrobial efficacy of root canal irrigant plays an important role in increasing the success of root canal treatment (rct). the aim of the present experimental study was to compare the antimicrobial activity of triphala (a plant-derived solution) with 0.5, 1, 2.5 and 5% concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (naocl), against enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis ). methods and...

Objective The standard of hygiene in daily life and hospitals can be increased by the use of new antimicrobial fibers, which diminish the danger of pathogenic bacteria. In this study, the antimicrobial effect of special fibers on some staphylococcus isolates was investigated. Materials and Methods The antimicrobial effect of special type of fibers produced in Isfahan Poly Acryl Plant on thre...

A direct immunofluorescent antibody test (DIF) was developed for the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis, a potentially fatal infection caused by Pseudomonas pseudomallei. In a clinical evaluation of 369 sputum, pus, or urine specimens from 272 patients with suspected melioidosis, the DIF had a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 99% compared with culture. Using this DIF, a confident diagnosis o...

background: in this study, the presence of resistance to diclazuril, amprolium+ethopabate and salinomycin, representing some of the commonest anticoccidials in iran’s poultry industry, against three mixed eimeria field isolates were investigated. methods: three eimeria field isolates, collected from typical broiler farms in iran, were propagated once, inoculated to 480 broilers, comprising 30 c...

Plant extracts contain secondary metabolites such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds with antibiotic activity. Antibiotic activity test can be done by using the Kirby-Bauer disc method which is indicated formation of a clear zone. This research was conducted Moringa oleifera leaves Opuntia cochenillifera cladode extracted ethyl acetate solvent. against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in Mannit...
