The occurrence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health problem globally, and aquatic environments are recognized as reservoir for antibiotic-resistant bacteria associated with antibiotic resistance genes. Antibiotic resistance hotspots are found not only in medical settings but also in environmental compartments that are subjected to anthropogenic pressure, such as munici...

Background Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem worldwide, but communicating this challenge to policymakers and non-experts is complicated by the multiplicity of bacterial pathogens and the distinct classes of antibiotics used to treat them. It is difficult, even for experts aware of the pharmacodynamics of antibiotics, to infer the seriousness of resistance without information on how com...

A global sample of group A streptococci (GAS) revealed > or =80 separate acquisitions of tetracycline resistance. Of 244 clones, 38 and 25% displayed resistance to tetracycline and erythromycin, respectively; a relatively high proportion (15%) were resistant to both classes of drugs. tet(M) displayed a highly significant association with erm(B).

abstract:   background: the most important and complex phenomenon of respiratory function of the nose is related to different nasal anatomy. the differences in facial anatomic structure between different races may also be reflected in nasal resistance and airflow. caucasians has different facial anatomic structure which is the reflection of intranasal resistance or consequence of airflow. the a...

background and objectives: resistance to macrolide can be mediated by erm and msra genes in staphylococcus aureus . there are the evidences that show erm genes may be causative agent of inducible or constitutive resistance. the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of inducible clindamycin resistance and determine the most frequency of erm and msr a genes among s. aureus isolates. ...

objective(s) resistance to antimicrobial agents, particularly metronidazole and clarithromycin, is frequently observed in helicobacter pylori and may be associated with treatment failure. this resistance rate varies according to the population studied. the aim of this study was to assess the pattern of antimicrobial resistance of h. pylori isolates from dyspeptic patients in isfahan. materials ...

introduction: obesity and visceral fat accumulation after menopause are associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. we investigated the interactive effect of aerobic-resistance training and estrogen replacement therapy on visceral fat, omentin-1 and homa-ir in ovariectomized rats. materials and methods: fifty female wistar rats were ovariectomized (ovx) and divided into 5 gr...

Objectives. The aim was to investigate the effects of three different types of resistance training implementation. Design. Randomized controlled trial. Methods. Inactive, overweight women (n = 143), mean BMI 31.3 ± 5.2 kg/m(2), mean age 39.9 ± 10.5 years, were randomized to one of the following groups: A (BodyPump group training), B (individual follow-up by a personal trainer), C (nonsupervised...
