Objective: Microbiological infection plays vital role in determining the outcome as well as cost and duration of the hospital stay for patients admitted in ICU setup. Therefore regular surveillance of important pathogens and its related factors are mandatory. The objective of this study was to find out the organisms causes infection in patients admitted in different Trauma-surgery, medical and ...

Meningitis is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, which are known as the meninges. This infection may be caused by Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria. In this study, we presented the case of a female newborn with meningitis secondary to Streptococcus pneumonia. Her birth weight and height were normal. After 24 hours of birth, the neonate was diagn...

Background: Among the most common causes of death in preterm infants are neonatal infections, which remain high despite antibiotic therapy and preservative measures. The control of hospital infections is now a global priority, and many factors contribute to the spread of these infections. This study aimed to determine the frequency of bacterial infections in neonates a...

Background and Objective: The endophytes are the fungi or bacteria that live within a plant in a symbiotic relationship. This study aimed to investigate the effect of isolated bacterial endophytes from Allium jesdianum on some bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli as well as pathogenic fungi, including Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans. Materials an...

Bacterial endocarditis is the infection of inner lining of heart and /or heart valves. This disease is usually related to the presence of some pathogenic bacteria in mouth, digestive system or urinary tract. Most of the times, this infection happens in people with heart problems like the presence of prosthetic valves, history of previous endocarditis, some congenital heart defects and heart tra...

bacteria play a major role in environmental processes. however, the spatial and seasonal variations and environmental impact factors on different bacterial groups have been poorly studied. in the present study, we compared the spatial and seasonal variations of two bacterial groups (acidobacteria, actinobacteria) from early snow melt and late snow melt locations in alpine tundra. the results re...

background: bone morphogenetic protein 2 (bmp- 2) belongs to the tgf-β superfamily of proteins and plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage. bmp- 2 is also associated with maintenance and repair of damaged bone. recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhbmp- 2) is now produced by genetic engineering techniques and used in treatment of thin bone fractures in the j...

the reaction of 3-chloropropyl boehmite nanoparticles with caffeine and sulfuric acid afforded bnps-3-propyl-imidazolopyridinium hydrogen sulfate [bnps-caff]hso4 as a new bnps-supported ionic liquid (il) catalyst. [bnps-caff]hso4 proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidines via a one-pot four-component reaction of hydrazine hydrate, ethyl aceto...

background: innovative bioactive films incorporated with antimicrobial agents have been recently developed for food preservation. the aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity of polylactic acid (pla) films incorporated with ziziphora clinopodioides essential oil (zeo) and ethanolic propolis extract (epe) against some common food-borne pathogens. methods: the volatile chemical co...
