Bordetella bronchiseptica causes infections of the respiratory tract in swine and other mammals and is a precursor for secondary infections with Pasteurella multocida. Treatment of B. bronchiseptica infections is conducted primarily with antimicrobial agents. Therefore it is essential to get an overview of the susceptibility status of these bacteria. The aim of this study was to comparatively a...

Background Irrational use of antibiotics is a global problem. Failure to follow clinical guidelines is one of the main reasons for irrational use of antibiotics. Cough and/or diarrhea are the main childhood illnesses in Ethiopia, and health care providers are expected to follow the national guideline while managing these illnesses. This study tried to assess the extent of adherence to the guide...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate antibiotic resistance in the province of Şanliurfa and to observe any difference between antibiotic resistance rates. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study comprised 107 children who presented at the pediatric polyclinic with complaints of urinary tract infection with the diagnosis of urinary tract infection and whose urine cultures exhibited bacterial growth. ...

Salmonella enterica serotypes are one of the most important food borne pathogens and significant public health concerns around the world in humans and other animal species. A total of eighty three epidemiologically unrelated clinical isolates of Salmonella enterica serovars were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Eleven isolates (13.1%) which were resistant to at least 4 groups ...

background bloodstream infection (bsi) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity and among the most common health-care associated infections. in this study we described the frequency of occurrence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of nosocomial and community-acquired bsi isolates from a teaching hospital in tehran, iran. patients and methods this cross-sectional study was conduct...

discussion l. monocytogenes can cause progressive and rapidly fatal infections in the vulnerable persons, with multisystem involvement. since this bacterium is not susceptible to cephalosporines, it will be better to consider effective antimicrobials in the treatment of the possible cases. case presentation a 70-years-old patient with chronic renal failure was admitted to the infectious disease...

there are increasing reports of emergence of multiple drug resistant (mdr) acinetobacter spp in the world; however there are a few reports in our country. 145 a. baumannii isolates from distinct wards and children's medical center (cmc) in tehran were studied in order to find the profile of antibiotic resistance among them. 40.6% (59/145) of a. baumannii isolates were identified as mdr. overall...

objective: shigellosis is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in children with diarrhea in developing countries. it is essential to assess the antibiotic resistance patterns of these bacteria. ipah gene is one of the virulence factors which can be used for detection of shigella spp. materials and methods: total of 100 isolates of shigella were collected from different prov...
