for small cheese-making factories, with no effluent treatment plants, whey can be a serious problem and the landfarming technique represents an alternative for its disposal. however, whey may contain antibiotic residues at the maximum residue limits. therefore, in this work, we evaluated the phytotoxic effect of different concentrations of five antibiotics (enrofloxacin, kanamycin, oxytetracycl...

thirty isolates of bacillus anthracis recovered from animal carcasses, soil and human in different localities in iran between 2007 and 2008. they were tested by standard disc diffusion susceptibility method for their resistant/ susceptibility to different kinds of antibiotics. according to american national committee of clinical laboratory standards (nccls) guidelines all isolates were sensi...

bacteremia is an important infectious disease which may lead to death. common bacteria and pattern of antibiotic resistance in different communities are different and understanding these differences is important. in the present study, relative frequency and pattern of drug resistance have been examined in bacteria isolated from blood cultures in razi hospital laboratory. the method of the study...

background: enterococci have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infections and within this group, enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium cause the majority of human and livestock enterococcal infections. in this article, we tried to determine antibiotics and metals resistance patterns of e. faecalis and e. faecium strains. methods: one hundred sixty different strains of e. faecalis ...

conclusions: despite the good in vitro bactericidal effect of amoxicillin on spiral forms of h. pylori, this antibiotic has little effect on induced coccoids that may develop after the inappropriate in vivo antibacterial treatment. hence, for successful therapy, it is essential not only to eradicate the spiral forms, but to eliminate the viable coccoids. background: helicobacter pylori (h. pylo...

materials and methods lactic acid bacteria isolated from spoiled fruits and vegetables and grown in mrs medium were screened against multi-drug-resistant candida albicans, klebsiella pneumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli, and enterococcus fecalis. results fifty-four lactic acid bacteria were isolated from spoiled fruits and vegetables, of which 11 gram-positive and catalase-negat...

conclusions females are more susceptible to uti than males and the most effective drug (sensitive against isolated e. coli) is amikacin. therefore, culture and antimicrobial drug sensitivity testing are essential procedures for proper management of uti in tribal population. patients and methods a total number of 4,416 urine samples of clinically suspected uti attending outpatient department and...

objective(s): to evaluate the in vitro interaction between different extracts of thymbra spicata l. and certain antimicrobial drugs of different mechanisms, including ampicillin, cefotaxime, amikacin and ciprofloxacin. this study was performed against multidrug-resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus and klebsiella pneumoniae. materials and methods: evaluation of antibacterial activity and s...
