Fifty E. coli strains isolated from chicken flocks were analyzed to determine their resistance to antimicrobial agents used in Tehran poultry industry. By using Mast Diagnostic kit only O6 serotype was identified. Multiple resistance to antibiotics was observed in all isolates. The highest rate of resistance was against Tetracycline (94%), followed by Rifampicin (90%), and Oxytetracycline (80%)...

background: acinetobacter spp. is characterized as an important nosocomial pathogen and increasing antimicrobial resis­tance. our aim was to evaluate antimicrobial susceptibility and aminoglycosides resistance genes of acinetobacter spp. iso­lated from hospitalized patients. methods: sixty isolates were identified as acinetobacter species. the isolates were tested for antibiotic resistance by d...

a hundred and five strains of salmonella havana were studied from the patients of pediatric hospital of tehran and tabriz during 1976-86. the sources of the strains in order to their frequency were from-stool, blood, spinal, fluid, wound and urine. from the epidemiological point of view salmonella havana is serotype of most non-typhoid salmonella. all of the strains had drug resistancy and most...

conclusions our findings revealed that the zfn technology could be employed to overcome ampicillin resistance by the targeted disruption of the ampicillin resistance gene, which leads to inactivation of β-lactam synthesis. therefore, zfn technology could be engaged to decrease the antibiotic resistance issue with the construction of a zfn archive against different args. to tackle the resistance...

The present study was done to evaluate the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in Lactococcus garvieae isolated from cultured rainbow trout, West Iran.The isolates were examined for antimicrobial resistance using disc diffusion method. Of the 24 strains tested, 21 were resistant to ampicillin (87.5%), 9 to erythromycin (37.5%) and 19 to tetracycline (79.1%). Fourteen strains were resistant ...

Objective: Fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) was identified as a candidate gene contributing to obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the effect of resistance training on FTO expression in subcutaneous fat tissue, insulin resistance and glucose in T2DM rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, sixteen obese males wistar rat...

many classes of antibacterial drugs are currently available for physicians to use, however the plan of antibiotic development has slowed during the last decade. the world health organization (who) has identified antimicrobial resistance as one of the 3 most important problems for human health. antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem worldwide, especially in hospitals, where resistant orga...
