yersinia enterocolitica is rapidly emerging worldwide as an enteric pathogen and has become a major cause of diarrhea even in developed countries. the aim of this study was to characterize and genetic diversity analysis among y. enterocolitica strains isolated from fish and chicken sources.from 44 strains, 55% (24 strains) found to be positive for y. enterocolitica by colony morphology, biochem...

conclusions although very rare, mdr miliary tb can be seen in immunocompetent subjects. we, thereby, emphasize that early recognition and initiation of treatment are associated with a significant improvement in outcomes. tuberculosis remains a serious worldwide health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. case presentation our case was a young female patient with in vitro fertil...

conclusions adeabc efflux system plays a vital role in multidrug resistance in clinical a. baumannii isolates. it was noted that the most important gene responsible for multidrug resistance within this system was the adeb gene especially in carbapenems resistance. methods this study was conducted on 84 multidrug resistant and 13 carbapenem-susceptible a. baumannii isolates obtained from burn an...

Introduction: Greatly increased use of antifungal therapies has resulted in the development of multidrug resistant. The phenolic compound carvacrol have been reported to have anti-Candida activity. This work is an attempt to examine effect of carvacrol on ergosterol synthesis against multidrug resistant Candida albicans. Methods: This cross-sectional study has been conducted on 30 immune-compr...

results two- to four-fold decrease in minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) and two-fold increase in accumulation were observed for etbr in the presence of cccp for 67% (8) of 12 mdr strains. with cccp, two- to four-fold decrease in mic and 1.4- to 1.8-fold increase in the accumulation of β-lactames, tet, cip and mtz were obtained for 42% (5) of the mdr strains. six, five and three of the 12 m...

conclusions the β-lactamase disk test is appropriately sensitive to detect esbls in mdr isolates of e. coli. background most urinary tract infections (utis) are caused by escherichia coli (e. coli) species. due to infections outbreaks of e. coli strains with multiple mechanisms of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, the sensitivity of confirmatory tests to detect the extended spectrum β-lactama...

conclusions review of the studies revealed that levels of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among new tuberculosis patients are increasing in iran and the vaccination system needs to be reformed. because of the increasing number of patients coming from neighboring countries with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, this area needs more stewardship and control in order to prevent the outbreak of mul...

nosocomial infections of multidrug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (mdrpa) are a growing concern in hospitalized patients in burn centers. the aim of this study was to investigate the flagellin profiling and antibiotic susceptibility of p. aeruginosa isolated from burn wound infections. during 8 month study, 73 clinically p. aeruginosa isolates collected from patients hospitalized in burn ward...
