conclusions the results of the present study indicate the presence of the pvl and fnb genes in the strains of s. aureus isolated from clinical specimens collected from the patients admitted to teaching hospitals in qazvin. considering the clinical significance of these organisms, and their potential in threatening public health systems, the identification, treatment, and infection control manag...

introduction: methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) can cause serious and life-threatening hospital- and community-acquired infections. colonized and infected patients represent the most important reservoir of mrsa in health care facilities. therefore, in this study, mrsa isolates collected from shohada hospital in tabriz were evaluated for the frequency of meca gene and their anti...

background staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen in hospital setting and in the community and causes a wide range of diseases. mrsa infection has recently become a serious problem in anti-microbial chemotherapy. the aim of the study was to detect and analyze the antibiotic diversity and isolation of methicillin resistance gene (meca) of s. aureus isolated from tehran hospitals as a rapid an...

objective: shigellosis is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in children with diarrhea in developing countries. it is essential to assess the antibiotic resistance patterns of these bacteria. ipah gene is one of the virulence factors which can be used for detection of shigella spp. materials and methods: total of 100 isolates of shigella were collected from different prov...

objective(s):with regard to pharmacological effects of carvacrol on the respiratory system, its effect on cytokines genes expression in splenocytes of asthmatic mice was examined in this study. materials and methods:splenocytes were isolated from non-sensitized (control group), sensitized mice to ovalbumin (ova) (group s), and s animals treated with dexamethasone, and three concentrations of ca...

objective: the role of staphylococcal enterotoxin b (seb) in food poisoning is well known, however its role in other diseases remains to be explored. the aim of this study is the molecular screening and characterization of the seb gene in clinically isolated strains. materials and methods: in this experimentally study, 300 staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) strains isolated from clinical samples...
