literature and culture are two inseparable issues. when we talk about the culture, the literature can also appear unconsciously, because the culture is composed of thoughts, feelings and emotions and the styles and personal ways of society, which as a general rule, can appear in terms of principles and respectful rules. the literature on the other hand, discloses and transmits these concepts to...

background candida species are normal microflora of  oral cavity, vagina, and gastrointestinal  tract. they are the third most prevalent cause of pediatric health care–associated  bloodstream fungal infection. this study aimed to provide an epidemiological feature of candidiasis and also presents an antifungal susceptibility profile of clinical candida isolates among children. materials and met...

introduction: stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a nosocomial multi drug resistant opportunistic pathogen which causes infections in vulnerable patients with cancer, cystic fibrosis and indwelling catheters. methods: 45 clinical s. maltophilia isolates were collected from blood samples and identified by biochemical tests. susceptibility to different antibiotics including co-trimoxazole, levofloxac...

background urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common bacterial diseasesworldwidethat can be presented asymptomatic or symptomatic, characterized by a wide range of symptoms from mild irritative voiding to bacteremia, sepsis, or even death. in latter decades, widespread utilization of antibiotics has resulted in increased incidence of antibiotic resistance among urinary tract patho...

conclusions we found a marked increase in the incidence of non-albicans species (48.2%) among neutropenic patients. only a few strains failed to produce extracellular enzymes. finally, in addition to fluconazole, caspofungin can be considered as the first line treatment against candida species among neutropenic patients. results a total of 110 yeast strains isolated from urine and oral cavities...

the increasing incidence of candidiasis and antifungal resistance as well as the introducing of new antifungal has recently encouraged performing of fungal susceptibility testing. the aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility profile of candida species isolated from patients admitted to yazd central laboratory to fluconazole. we used the broth microdilution method to evaluate the sus...

candidiasis , the main opportunistic fungal infection has been increased over the past decades. this study aimed to characterize c.albicans species complex ( c.albicans , c.dubliniensis , and c.africana ) isolated from patients with respiratory infections by molecular tools and in vitro antifungal susceptibilities by using broth microdilution method according to clsi m27-a3 guidelines. totally,...

background : according to the national strategy plan on monitoring of insecticides resistance, this study was carried out to determine the base line susceptibility of the culicidae mosquitoes to the who-recommended insecticides in an endemic focus of malaria in southeastern iran. methods : larval collection was carried out by dipping method and adult collection occurred by suction tube from jan...

date palm spider mite is one of the major pests of date palm in khuzestan.this pest damages fruits in orchards. in the present study responses of 30 native date palm cultivars of khuzestan were evaluated by assessment of pest infestation severity and fruit damage characteristics. based on the responses, cultivars were clustered into four groups as very highly infested cultivars including liloei...

results in general 438 urine isolates were obtained. e. coli was the most frequently occurring pathogen (54.80%), followed by klebsiella pneumoniae (16.0%), coagulase negative staphylococci (11.2%), enterobacter spp. (9.6%), proteus spp. 1.4% and p. aeruginosa (1.4%). resistance rates of e. coli isolates were 85.9% to co-trimoxazole, 80.0% to penicillin, 77.0% to ampicillin, 68.0% to chloramphe...
