the present study was aimed to identify the frequency of coagulase (coa) and thermonuclease (nuc) genes and staphylococcal enterotoxin a (sea) production among staphylococcus aureus isolated from various sources in shiraz. moreover, the correlation between the sea gene and coagulase and thermonuclease enzymes is also considered. a total of 100 s. aureus were isolated from various sources includ...

Objective(s): The aim of the present study was to determine the aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs) encoded genes, tetracycline resistance genes, and the coa based typing of Staphylococcus aureus isolates in the Southwest of Iran. Materials and Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was carried out by agar disk diffusion methods. Two sets of multiplex PCR mixture were used for de...

Objective(s): This study was to investigate the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effect of total flavonoid extract from Actinidia kolomikta (TFAK) in hyperlipidemia induced by a high-fat diet. Materials and Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal group, model (hyperlipidemic diet) group, hyperlipedemic diet supplemented with TFAK (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) and simvastat...

Background: Aortic coarctation (CoA) is a common congenital aortic disease, which often accompanied by root disease. This study aimed to explore the simultaneous surgical treatment of replacement and ascending-abdominal bypass grafting for patients with CoA

Surgical correction of aortic coarctation (CoA) has been the standard treatment in infants and adolescents to prevent late consequences related obstruction distal hypoperfusion. Several surgical techniques for CoA repair have traditionally applied. However, complications, including re-CoA pseudoaneurysm formation, are not uncommon. The incidence complications is highly type initial surgery. Her...

background: although lipid lowering agents as statins are used frequently in hyperlipidemic patients as well as patients with cardiac disease, they could have major hepatic side effects, the aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of statins mainly atorvastatin on liver as estimated by liver aminotransferase assay. m aterials and methods: patients with indication of atorvastatin were includ...

In this paper, an improved coyote optimization algorithm (ICOA) is developed for determining control parameters of transmission power networks to deal with optimal reactive dispatch (ORPD) problem. The performance ICOA method superior its conventional (COA) thanks modifications two new solution generations COA. COA uses a center generate update step size in the first generation and produced one...

conclusions the outcome of this study indicates a higher discriminatory power of the rflp analysis based on the spa gene compared to the coa gene. moreover, the results of our study reveal that the resistance rate of s. aureus to some antimicrobial agents including linezolid is a growing concern. background antibiotic resistant staphylococcus aureus is a serious public health problem worldwide....
