conclusions more than behalf of the wound isolates were esbl positive, and the presence of blaveb-1 was determined in less than half of these isolates. fortunately, resistance to imipenem and meropenem was low. results the majority of the wound isolates were resistant to augmentin (90%, n = 80) and cefpodoxime (87.6%, n = 78). however, the majority was susceptible to imipenem and meropenem. fif...

Background & Aims: The production of extended-spectrum-β-lactamases (ESBLs) is the main mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. The outbreak of isolates simultaneously possessing several resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics caused a decrease in sensitivity of the confirmatory tests for ESBL. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the β-lactamase disk test method in the de...

OBJECTIVES We investigated the contribution of gyrA and parC mutational mechanism in decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from burn wound infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ciprofloxacin susceptibility of 50 A. baumannii isolates was evaluated by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. PCR and sequencing were performed for detection of mutation in gyrA a...

Proteus mirabilis is one of the important causative agents bacterial infections in humans. This study involved prevalence virulence genes among P. from urine, ear, sputum, burn, wound, and vagina specimens Zakho city during period July 2021 until January 2022 their susceptibility to different commonly used antimicrobial agents. Isolates were identified by traditional phenotypic biochemical test...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative, obligate aerobic bacil which is widespread in world and causes burned hospital infections in humans. Multidrug resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeuginosa (MDR) have been emerged as alarming nosocomial pathogens among burned patients in Tehran (Iran). Integrons play important role in drug resistant in bacteria. Aminoglycosides are common antibiotics whi...

Background and Objective: Burn wound infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting β-lactam antibiotic resistance are one of the greatest challenges of antimicrobial treatment. In this context, P. aeruginosa strains harboring resistance mechanisms, such as production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases have the highest clinical impact no the management of burn wound infections. The ai...

The introduction of newly devised wound dressing has been a major breakthrough in the management of wounds or infections. The aims of this paper are to isolate and identify bacterial species causing burn wound infections from a University-related Iranian hospital as well as determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolated microorganisms to newly devised nanocomposite materials ...
