background acinetobacter has become an important cause of different infections such as wound infection, due to its great ability to survive and spread in hospital settings and to develop resistance against many antibiotics. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance among isolates of acinetobacter from wound infections during a 7-year period, from 2005 to 2011...

for development of pollinator parent resistant to powdery mildew disease of sugar beet, relatively resistant 14442 population was used. based on resistance index, 50 resisitant plants were selected to produce half sib family(h.s.f). after random pollination between these 50 plants, seed of h.s.f was harvesed. from these 50 plants, only 39 plants had produced enough seed. next year these h.s.f w...

a total of 385 urine specimens from suspected urinary tract infections were subjected to bacteriological analysis and susceptibility testing at a major university hospital laboratory in tehran. a battery of eight beta-iactam antibiotics, commonly prescribed in iran, and three third-generation cephalosporins (ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and ceftizoxime) that are usually reserved for limited use in ...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) plasmids frequently carry antibiotic resistance genes conferring qualitatively different mechanisms of resistance. We show here that the antibiotic concentrations selecting for the RK2 plasmid inEscherichia colidepend upon the sociality of the drug resistance: the selection for selfish drug resistance (efflux pump) occurred at very low drug concentrations, just 1.3% o...

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the most common infection affecting organ transplant recipients. Despite advances in the prophylaxis and acute treatment of CMV, it remains an important pathogen affecting the short- and long-term clinical outcome of solid organ transplant recipient. The emergence of CMV resistance in a patient reduces the clinical efficacy of antiviral therapy, complicates t...

Background: Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation in obese subjects, which leads to an increase of inflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different intensity circuit resistance training on levels of interleukin 1 beta and interleukin-10 in obese men. Methods: In a semi-experimental trial during May to August 2020, 44 obese men from Tehran city were selecte...
