conclusions the results indicate that the rates of esbls are high in urine e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates from tehran hospitals. also this study indicates that the urine isolates from male patients are significantly more resistant than the female isolates. materials and methods a total of 190 e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates were collected from patients’ urine samples in hospitals from te...

A compartment syndrome (ACS) is a constellation of the physiologic sequel of increased intraabdominal pressure (IAP). Although initially thought to affect mostly trauma and surgical patients, intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and ACS have also been identified in patients such as in ones with acute pancreatitis or with massive fluid replacement since the late 1980s and 1990s.1 Persistent IAH may...

Abstract This study investigated the effects of a Lactobacillus fermentate (LBF) on mucosa-associated microbiota and its correlation with intestinal health pigs challenged F18+ Escherichia coli. Newly-weaned (n = 64; 6.6 ± 0.7 kg BW) were allotted in randomized complete b;ock design (RCBD) to 4 treatments: NC: no-challenge/no-supplement; PC: E. coli/no-supplement; AGP: coli/bacitracin (30 g/t f...

Background: Escherichia coli is a commensal-pathogenic organism, which includes a wide range of strains. Despite several advanced molecular-genomic technologies for detecting and identifying different strains of E. coli, Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain Reaction (ERIC-PCR) technique is ...

Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most important infectious agents in patients undergoing prostate biopsy. It belongs to a large family of gram-negative rods, Enterobacteriaceae. This family includes members of the normal flora of the intestine that are only occasionally pathogenic. Recent considerations of rectal colonization with fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli shows the ...

objective(s) extensive use of quinolones has been associated with raising level of resistance. in the current, we focused on assessing the prevalence of escherichia coli resistance to quinolones and frequency of qnra, qnrb and qnrs in non esbls (extended spectrum beta-lactamases) and esbls producing e. coli with blashv and blatem. materials and methods one hundred and fifty e. coli isolates wer...

introduction: extended spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl) producing escherichia coli generate a major problem for clinical therapeutics and epidemiological study. the incidence of esbl producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing during the past few years, and remains an important cause of failure of therapy with cephalosporins. the aim of this study was to determine the a...

The eco-friendly functionalized TiO 2 /polymer antifouling (AF) coating was successfully synthesized by dispersing nanoparticles in waterborne epoxy-modified tung oil resin. AF effectiveness of evaluated toward Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus, ATCC6538), Escherichia coli E. coli, ATCC8739) and diatom Cyclotella sp., FACHB-1635). nanoTiO showed good antimicrobial activity both under the light ...
