background: neonatal septicemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. the most common pathogens of bacterial sepsis and antibiotic sensitivity patterns may vary in different areas of the world. understanding the etiology of bacteriological profiles is very important and helps to reduce the associated mortality. the aim of this study was to assess prevalence of bacterial and antibiot...

Background & Aim: In this study, is done during one-year research on blue–green and green algae for antimicrobial activity in Mashhad suburb. Aqueous, ether, and methanol extracts from 44 species blue – green algae and green algae were examined for antimicrobial properties against four bacteria (tow positive gram bacteria and tow negative gram bacteria) and tow fungous. Material & Methods: Amo...

Brevibacillus laterosporus OSY-I1 is a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium isolated from soil. The bacterium produces brevibacillin, an antimicrobial lipopeptide effective against several drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the strain OSY-I1 and the gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of brevibacillin.

Nanomaterials are increasingly used to the targeting of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacterial infections are a major cause of chronic infections and mortality. People requirement for new materials for pathogenic bacteria treatment. It seems that nanomaterial-based strategies can be resolving this problem. In this research, improved antibacterial na...

a total number of 259 gram negative bacteria (entero-bacteria) isolated during the years 1973-1974 was examined. these strains were isolated from sick children referred and or hospitalized in a children hospital in tehran. the strains consisted of ; 131e.coli, 52 salmonella, 40 klebsiella, 18 shigella, 13 proteus, 3 enterobacter and 2 citrobacter. sensitivity tests were performed according to t...

bacterial utilize a multitude of methods to secretion of specific substrate across phospholipid membranes. these bacterial strategies can play many roles in promoting bacterial process, from enhancing pathogenesis to bacterial response to environmental condition. the secretion in bacterial species transfer and release performance substance such as proteins, enzymes and metabolites to environmen...

The in vitro activity of telavancin was tested against 743 predominantly antimicrobial-resistant, gram-positive isolates. Telavancin was highly active against methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MIC(90), 0.5 to 1 microg/ml), streptococci (all MICs, < or =0.12 microg/ml), and VanB-type enterococci (all MICs, < or =2 microg/ml). Time-kill studies demonstrated the potent bactericidal activity of ...

A new polyether antibiotic, Ro 21-6150, has been isolated from culture broths of Streptomyces hygroscopicus, strain X-14563. Ro 21-6150 has ionophore properties and is active in vitro against gram-positive bacteria.
