discussion our results indicated that agar screening was superior to oxacillin disk agar diffusion. a comparison between the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the mrcns and the methicillin-susceptible coagulase-negative staphylococci (mscns) showed that the mrcns were predominantly multiple-drug resistant isolates as the simultaneous resistance rate to 4 or more antibiotics in the mrcns and ms...

background and objectives: taking into account a few principles concerning human being, it becomes plausible that the human spirit would also have a similar reaction to spiritual “medicine” provided to it. in order to better understand how this is possible, we must consider the means by which the human spirit becomes resistant to spiritual remedies and compare them with the resistance developed...

pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of bum infections, and antibiotic- resistant strains of this bacterium are emerging due to extensive application of antibiotics in the bum unit of hospitals. in this study 50 strains of p. aeruginosa were isolated from bum patients infected with this micro-organism in the bum unit of a general hospital in kerman, iran over one year [may 1999-aprii2000]....

introduction: the use of exercise along with herbal supplements is one of the recommended methods for controlling obesity and its complications, but its effects have been controversial due to the diversity of training programs and also herbal supplements. hence, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 10 week ginger and progressive resistance training on c-reactive protein...

the present study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance pattern of escherichia coli strains isolatedfrom animals to ascertain the levels of antibiotic resistance pervasiveness. a total of 28 e. coli strains wereisolated from faecal samples and the antibiotic resistance pattern of e. coli strains was determined by meansof disc diffusion assay. the resistance pattern determined for all stra...

let $g$ be a connected graph with vertex set $v(g)$‎. ‎the‎ ‎degree resistance distance of $g$ is defined as $d_r(g) = sum_{{u‎,‎v} subseteq v(g)} [d(u)+d(v)] r(u,v)$‎, ‎where $d(u)$ is the degree‎ ‎of vertex $u$‎, ‎and $r(u,v)$ denotes the resistance distance between‎ ‎$u$ and $v$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we characterize $n$-vertex unicyclic‎ ‎graphs having minimum and second minimum degree resista...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of endurance (et), resistance (rt) and concurrent training (ct) on plasma levels of visfatin, insulin, glucose and insulin resistance of non-athlete men with obesity. it was a semi-experimental study. thirty six men [age: 21.48 (0.25), and bf%: 27.39 (0.52)], voluntarily participated in this study after public announcement in univer...

Salmonella enterica is recognized as one of the major food-borne pathogens with more than 2,500 serotypesworldwide. The present study addresses antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidisisolates in Iran. A collection of 151 Salmonella spp. isolates collected from poultry were serotyped toidentify Salmonella Enteritidis. Sixty-one Salmonella Enteritidis were subsequently...

conclusions this study represented an increasing rate of mdr p. aeruginosa in burn and wound samples. efflux mexab genes were detected in all mdr and pdr strains. the p. aeruginosa strain isolated from burn cases showed higher drug resistance and pdr resistance was only noted in a burn sample. materials and methods one-hundred and fifty p. aeruginosa were isolated from burn and wound infections...
