Objective(s): The aim of the present study was to determine the aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs) encoded genes, tetracycline resistance genes, and the coa based typing of Staphylococcus aureus isolates in the Southwest of Iran. Materials and Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was carried out by agar disk diffusion methods. Two sets of multiplex PCR mixture were used for de...

background: aminoglycoside antibiotics are widely used in medical centers, particularly to treat infections. the resistance developed against these agents is a huge concern in health care. a number of researchers have reported that hospital and municipal wastewaters are among the most important dissemination sources of these agent into the environment. some, however, do not agree with this opin...

aim & background : enterococci infections are public health growing concern due to the glycopeptide antibiotics resistance especially vancomycin. genes, vana, b, and h, are contributed to the influence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre). this investigation aims at exploring the vre frequency and the rate of each genes in isolated enterococci from gastroenteritis patients in central regio...

acquired azole resistance in opportunistic fungi causes severe clinical problems in immunosuppressed individuals. this study investigated the molecular mechanisms of azole resistance in clinical isolates of candida glabrata . six unmatched strains were obtained from an epidemiological survey of candidiasis in immunocompromised hosts that included azole and amphotericin b susceptible and azole r...

Nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeats (NBS-LRR) accounting for the main disease resistance proteins play an important role in plant defense against pathogen attack. The current study aimed to identify new NBS-LRR gene members in native types of cucurbit species in Iran. Accordingly, DNAs of melon, cucumber and cantaloupe native types to Iran were identified using three primer pairs. PCR ...

BACKGROUND: Avian Colibacillosis can lead to important economic losses in the poultry industry. Escherichia coli the causative agent of this disease has acquired resistance to different antibiotics, including tetracycline. OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out to detect the distribution of tetracycline Group І efflux genes genes among E.coli isolates from from avian colibacillosis in Iran by P...
