conclusions it seems that besides the variety and prevalence of blatem and blactx, enormous mechanisms such as porin and leaking systems (efflux pumps) are responsible for the information of the a. baumannii resistance to disinfectants. the study on an accurate consideration of the resistance in strains and other microorganisms is advised. results in the current study, 131 a. baumannii isolates...

background hospital-acquired infections caused by multi-drug resistant acinetobacter spp. are often extremely difficult to treatand this has proved to be a serious problem worldwide. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the incidence rates and distribution patterns of multi-drug resistant (mdr) acinetobacter spp. strains and the occurrence of acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinase ...

The KZN strain family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a highly virulent strain endemic to the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa, which has recently experienced an outbreak of extensively-drug resistant tuberculosis. To investigate the causes and evolution of drug-resistance, we determined the DNA sequences of several clinical isolates--one drug-susceptible, one multi-drug resistant, and nin...

BACKGROUND Multi drug resistance (MDR) or cross-resistance to multiple classes of chemotherapeutic agents is a major obstacle to successful application of chemotherapy and a basic problem in cancer biology. The multidrug resistance gene, MDR1, and its gene product P-glycoprotein (P-gp) are an important determinant of MDR. Therefore, there is an urgent need for development of novel compounds tha...

SETTING Addis Ababa Tuberculosis Demonstration and Training Center, Ethiopia. OBJECTIVES To determine the pattern of drug resistance among re-treatment cases of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), to determine the risk factors associated with multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB, and to propose re-treatment regimens based on the patterns of susceptibility to first-line and alternative drugs. DESIGN One h...

A total of 70 samples were collected from chicken meat obtained from 10 markets in Tehran, Iran from which 39 Campylobacter coli were isolated. Among 10 antibiotics used, maximum resistance was seen to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (SXT) (97.36%), nalidixic acid (94.8%), ciprofloxacin (87.7%), streptomycin (89.72%), and tetracycline (97.4%). No resistance was to gentamycin was observed. None o...
