Background and Aim: Due to the widespread use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine and the increase in livestock production, it seems that the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance in human societies is more related to animals and the veterinary field. In this study, antibiotic resistance, high-level aminoglycoside resistance and frequency of aminoglycoside resistance associated genes amo...

Background and Aims: Given the importance of aminoglycoside resistance in nosocomial and community infections caused by bacterial pathogenes such as Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of aac (6')- Ib and aac (3)- IIa, the genes encoding aminoglycoside modifying enzymes involved in aminoglycoside resistance. Material and Methods: A t...

conclusions our results indicate that acetylation genes have an important role in aminoglycoside resistance of the enterococcus isolates from clinical samples. moreover, salmonella strains indicate very low level of aminoglycoside resistance, and aminoglycoside resistance genes were not found in salmonella isolates. these results indicate that other resistance mechanisms, including efflux pumps...

background: acinetobacter spp. is characterized as an important nosocomial pathogen and increasing antimicrobial resis­tance. our aim was to evaluate antimicrobial susceptibility and aminoglycosides resistance genes of acinetobacter spp. iso­lated from hospitalized patients. methods: sixty isolates were identified as acinetobacter species. the isolates were tested for antibiotic resistance by d...

conclusions the results of this study indicated that the genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes are prevalent in a. baumannii isolates in the study region, which highlighted the necessity of considering preventive measures to control dissemination of these resistance genes. results antimicrobial susceptibility analysis showed that the highest resistance was towards beta−lactam antibiot...

Background: Aminoglycoside antibiotics are widely used in medical centers, particularly to treat infections. The resistance developed against these agents is a huge concern in health care. A number of researchers have reported that hospital and municipal wastewaters are among the most important dissemination sources of these agent into the environment. Some, however, do not agree with this opin...
