trició n y la alteració n de las barreras anató micas (piel y mucosas) 1. A estos factores de riesgo endó geno habría que añ adir como factor exó geno la existencia de obras en los hospitales que pueden dar lugar a infecciones nosocomiales en esta població n de riesgo 4. S. prolificans es un pató geno multirresistente. La anfotericina B, 5-fluorocitosina y algunos azoles tienen una baja activid...

Background: Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), which is the causative agent of colibacillosis, harbors several putative virulence genes. An important trait of APEC for both poultry and public health is antibiotic resistance. Objectives: In the present study, some potential virulence genes of APECs isolated from Northeast of Iran and their resistance to the quinolones antibiotics were stu...

background and objectives: this study was designed to evaluate the activity of quercus infectoria galls extract (qifge) on virulence factor production and inhibition of quorum sensing (qs) in pseudomonas aeruginosa. materials and methods: minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of qifge against 5 strains of p. aeruginosa was determined. the extract at sub-mic was used to determine biofilm format...

La enfermedad cardiovascular es la principal causa de morbimortalidad en todo el mundo, por lo que su prevención es uno de los principales objetivos en atención primaria. Nuestro centro de salud se encuentra en un área urbana, sociodeprimida y con elevado porcentaje de población inmigrante, mayoritariamente procedente de Filipinas y Pakistán. En diferentes estudios se ha observado una mayor inc...

background and aims: acinetobacter baumannii is mostly a cause of septicaemia, pneumonia and urinary tract infections following hospitalization of patients with more severe illnesses. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and detection of the most prevalent virulence genes in a. baumannii isolated from hospital infections of two largest hospitals of tehran, iran. materials and m...

the virulence of pasteurella multocida (p. multocida) serotype a1 for chickens and mice was determined. groups of chicken and mice were exposed intramuscularly and intraperitoneally to various concentration of p. multocida broth culture, respectively. this strain was highly virulent for chickens so that those exposed to only 7 c.f.u. of the organism died in less than 24 hours. groups of mice ex...
