BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recently, nosocomial infections have been discussed as a critical issue among intubated patients leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Hence, the pattern of microbiological colonization and antibiotic resistance are much valuable in this regard. We aimed to investigate the pattern of microorganism colonization and antibiotic resistance in patients with endotr...

background: infection control should be an integrated part of patient care, especially to ensure safety and survival in hospitalized neonates. although povidone‑iodine (pvp‑i) solution has been used as the most common antiseptic in hospitals of iran, chlorhexidine is currently used in some wards for skin disinfection. however, there is no evidence about the superiority of either antiseptic solu...

In the last ten years, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has gained increasing interest as an important agent of infection, which is why it come to be recognized a serious cause nosocomial infections related bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and cancer, mainly in patients with intensive care, associated high mortality rates immunocompromised patients, prolonged hospital stays extensive use antimicr...

The effect of colonization by beneficial associative microorganisms Pseudomonas putida KT 2442 and Rhodococcus erythropolis X5 on the growth Sarepta mustard (Brassica juncea L.) under a covering light-converting material containing organic photoluminophore, in vitro vivo, was investigated. combined use microbial photoluminophore coating led to stimulation plant much stronger (2.4 times more) th...

BACKGROUND Pregnant women colonized by Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci [GBS]) may transfer this microorganism to their newborns. S. agalactiae is an important cause of pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis in newborns. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is considered as a method of identification in the field of diagnostic microbiology. In this paper, we have designed a study t...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the trial was to estimate the relationship between colonization of the Double-J catheter, and the microorganisms cultured from urine. MATERIAL AND METHODS 60 patients, who had Double-J catheters inserted, participated in the study. All the subjects had their midstream urine samples taken prior to the stent insertion and removal. A negative urine culture before catheter...

OBJECTIVE To determine the pooled prevalence and review the influencing factors of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization in Chinese children. METHODS Articles published between January 2005 and October 2015 that studied prevalence or influencing factors of MRSA nasal colonization in Chinese children were retrieved from Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CB...

Optimal conditions of a microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a group-specific membrane antigen of Ureaplasma urealyticum serotype 7 were established with rabbit antisera and applied for the evaluation of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies in 139 serum specimens from pregnant women between 26 and 38 weeks of gestation, and the assay was compared with microorganism culture and inve...
