to prevent post cholecystectomy infection, the most common microorganisms causing it and their antibacterial susceptibility pattern should be determined. therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the exact incidence and nature of the microbial flora in the bile of the patients with cholelithiasis and chronic cholecystitis as well as their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. in this s...

conclusions silver nanoparticles were observed to have additive effects with essential oil against staphylococcus epidermidis and s. aureus. the obtained results suggest the need for further investigations of the antibacterial effects of the combination of silver nanoparticles with other plant extracts and essential oils. results the results of the experiment showed that the mic and minimal bac...

antibacterial effects of honeybee propolis tested on the paenibacillus larvae larvae, cause of honeybee american foulbrood disease. after cultivation of bacterium in special medium we used of two antibacterial susceptibility tests: broth dilution susceptibility test and paper disk susceptibility test. in the b.d.s.t 0.32 milligrams/ml and higher concentrations of propolis inhibited growth of th...

The objective of this study was to compare quinolone resistance and gyrA mutations in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli from Chinese adults who used quinolone in the preceding month and children without any known history of quinolone administration. The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 61 isolates from children and 79 isolates from adults were determined. The muta...

Bovine mastitis is the single most common cause for antibacterial use in lactating dairy cattle (18, 24). Treatment of this disease is also the most common cause of illegal antibacterial residues in marketed milk (10). Antibacterial therapy of bacterial-induced diseases in cattle has been incriminated as a catalyst for resistance in bacteria isolated from treated animals, other animals within t...

background and objective: early determination of antibacterial susceptibility increases the success of therapy, decreases unnecessary use of antibacterial agents and side-effects, and lowers the overall healthcare cost. materials and methods: a rapid colorimetric method for antibacterial susceptibility testing named qui-sensitest (inovative biotechnology organization, istanbul, turkey) was eval...
