Introduction: Resistance of pathogenic organisms to countenance antibiotics has become a worldwide problem with serious consequences on the treatment of infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibiotic resistance and also the detection of transferred antibiotic resistance by plasmid in clinical Proteus isolates. Materials and methods: A total of 250 urine samples were ...

background: nosocomial infections are one of the most important medical problems in developed and under developing countries which cause the spread of infections diseases in society. pseudomonas aeroginosa is one of the most important causes of hospital infections, especially in wounds from operated patients. increase in antibiotic-resistance of pseudomonas aeroginosa cause a lot of problems fo...

there is a growing concern about the application of molecular methods in epidemiological studies of infectious diseases. the objective of this study was to determine the genetic stability of methicillin resistance genes in staphylococcus aureus for the evaluation of resistance strain distribution. one hundred and fifteen s. aureus isolates from patients with staphylococcal infection were collec...

Background and Aims: Based on the results, Staphylococcus aureus is one of the serious infectious agents found in community and hospitals with remarkable potential for high morbidity and mortality around the globe. The present study was carried out for molecular investigation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and Staphylococcal Chromosomal Cassette mec (SCCmec) phenotypes i...

Antibiotic resistance surveys are published widely, citing percentage resistance rates, sometimes for vast transcontinental regions. Such data seem straightforward, but when one drills deeper, great complexity emerges. Rates for methicillin resistance among Staphylococcus aureus from bacteraemias vary from <1% to 50% among European countries, and vary greatly among both hospitals and hospital u...

Background.  Antimicrobial stewardship programs are increasingly implemented in hospital care. They aim to simultaneously optimize outcomes for individual patients with infections and reduce financial and health-associated costs of overuse of antibiotics. Few studies have examined the effects of antimicrobial stewardship programs in settings with low proportions of antimicrobial resistance, suc...

trauma is a leading cause of death and disability especially amongst young people. road traffic crash–related death, injury, and chronic disability continue to be a major worldwide burden to drivers, pedestrians and users of mass transit, especially in low- and middle-income countries(lmic). projections predict worsening of this burden, and while motorization of lmic increases exponentially, a ...
