background and objectives: accurate designation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the infecting microorganisms is an important crucial factor in making appropriate therapeutic decisions. macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin b antibiotics are in a family, reserved as an alternative approach in treatment of resistant gram positive cocci. amongst them, clindamycin has been considered ...

abstract background: the disk diffusion method for identification of yeasts species was performed based on different but distinct susceptibilities of yeasts spp. to chemicals: janus green, ethidium bromide, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, brilliant green, cycloheximide and rhodamine 6g. methods: atotal of 568 iranian soldiers went under study for isolation and identification of yeast speci...

background and objective: implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. this study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...

Background and Purpose: The incidence of fungal infection as well as candidemia has increased significantly, contributing to morbidity and mortality in the developed countries. The alarming increase in infections with multidrug resistant bacteria is due to overuse of a broad spectrum antimicrobials, which leads to over growth of Candida spp.; thus, enhancing its opportunity to cause the disease...
