conclusions according to these findings, antibiotic-resistance patterns have changed, and vancomycin resistance, especially among e. faecium, is rising because of nosocomial infections. consequently, it has become a serious subject for patients admitted into a hospital. results a total of 53 enterococci were isolated from clinical samples of blood, urine, wounds, sputum, and cerebrospinal fluid...

in this study, antimicrobial effects of zataria multiflora boiss added to sodium caseinate film on four bacterial species: staphylococcus aurous, escherichia coli, bacillus subtilis and salmonella intertidis was investigated. disk diffusion method was used to study the antimicrobial activity of zataria multiflora boiss in sodium caseinate film. 9 mm disks were prepared from produced films with ...

background: to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of four different hand sanitizers against staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, pseudomonas aeruginosa , escherichia coli , and enterococcus faecalis as well as to assess and compare the antimicrobial effectiveness among fou different hand sanitizers. materials and methods: the present study is an in vitro study to evaluate antimic...

INTRODUCTION S. aureus is one of the main agents of nosocomial infection and is sometimes difficult to treat with currently available active antimicrobials. PURPOSE To analyze the prevalence of methicillin-susceptible S.aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) as well as the MRSA antimicrobial susceptibility profile isolated in the saliva of health professionals at a large pub...

We compared the antimicrobial susceptibility testing results generated by disk diffusion and the VITEK 2 automated system with the results of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution (BMD) reference method for 61 isolates of unusual species of Enterobacteriaceae. The isolates represented 15 genera and 26 different species, including Buttiauxella, Cedecea, Kluyv...

conclusions according to our results, blatem-116 was the most frequent isolated esbl gene among the p. aeruginosa strains isolated from patients. results ciprofloxacin and piperacillin were the most efficient antipseudomonal agents. the results disclosed that 19 (16.37%) of the isolates were multidrug resistant and 8 (6.89%) were esbl-positive. of the 116 isolates, 30 (25.86%) were resistant to...

The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial resistance patterns of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis. California Mastitis Test was used for 2,160 quarters of 540 dairy cattle in 8 commercial dairy farms of Alborz province, Iran. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by the disk diffusion method on Mueller Hinton agar. The results indicated that S...
