salmonella enterica serotypes are one of the most important food borne pathogens and significant public health concerns around the world in humans and other animal species. a total of eighty three epidemiologically unrelated clinical isolates of salmonella enterica serovars were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. eleven isolates (13.1%) which were resistant to at least 4 groups ...

susceptibility pattern of organisms causing urinary tract infection (uti) in neonate would potentially improve the clinical management by enabling clinicians to choose most reasonable first line empirical antibiotics. this study aimed to this end by studying isolated organisms from neonates with uti in an inpatient setting.current retrospective study has recruited all cases of neonatal uti diag...

background methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) continues to be a major cause of nosocomial infections. methicillin resistance in s. aureus is caused by the acquisition of the meca gene, located on a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome (scc). objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of the predominant sccmec type present among ...

the plant salvadora persica is used for oral hygiene in many parts of the world. it has been suggested that it has antibacterial properties, in addition to its ability to mechanically remove plaques. the aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the herbal product persica containing salvadora persica against periodontopathogens porphyromonas gingivalis and aggregatibacter ac...

background and objectives: staphylococcus aureus ( s. aureus ) nasal carriage may be responsible for some serious infections in hemodialyzed patients. the main target of this study was to estimate the prevalence of s. aureus nasal carriage in hemodialysis outpatients and medical staff in hemodialysis centers specifically in fez region. the second target is to identify the risks of colonization,...

salmonellosis is a very important disease of avian species because of its huge economic impact, worldwide distribution and difficulty posed in its control. fowl typhoid and pullorum disease, is caused by salmonella enterica subsp enterica serovar gallinarum biovar gallinarum and pullorum. the purpose of this study was to investigate the biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibil...

background and objectives: the appearance of antibiotic resistance in streptococcus pneumoniae has raised a global concern over the past three decades. this study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of s. pneumoniae isolated from patients in children´s medical center (cmc) hospital during 2001 to 2011. materials and methods: during the 11 years period, a total of 194 s. ...

background: this study was done to detect multidrug resistant (mdr) and extremely drug resistant (xdr) of pseudomonas aeruginosa among strains isolated from patients in tehran, iran, due to importance of these phenotypes in treatment of human infections. methods: eighty eightp. aeruginosa were isolated from patients in tehran, iran, and identified by routine methods and pcr for oprl gene. their...

backgrounds: different susceptibility rates of pathogenic bacteria to antimicrobial agents are considered major factors in the choice of drugs and the success of treatments. concerns have been raised regarding the emergence of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria that may result in unpredictable antimicrobial susceptibilities and therapy failure. objectives: the purpose of this in...
