this study was performed to detect cultivable canine gastric helicobacter-like organisms (ghlo’s) and to evaluate their sensitivity to common antibiotics in two groups of naturally infected dogs (pets and stray dogs). gastric samples were taken from the body and antrum of 30 pets and 30 stray dogs. from each part of canine gastric mucosa, four gastroscopic samples were used for impression smear...

Serratia marcescens has become an important nosocomial pathogen. During a period of seven years 123 strains, both pigmented and non-pigmented varieties were isolated. Their biochemical characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility pattern and clinical significance are described. The aminoglycosides appeared to be the most effective agents against this organism. "Compromised" patients were most vul...

Background: Bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecalis is usually caused by strains resistant to most antibiotics. Effective management of the disease is dependent on rapid detection and characterization of the bacteria, and determination its sensitivity pattern to antimicrobial drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate a more rapid and reliable assay for simultaneous diagnosis of enterococc...
