colibacillosis caused by e.coli is one of the most common illnesses in commercial chickens and induce high financial losses in the poultry industry due to morbidity, mortality and antibiotic expenses because of overuses. e.coli can mostly cause disease as a secondary or opportunistic pathogen, while certain strains with specific virulence factors even as primary pathogen can cause colibacillosi...

background and objectives: resistance to macrolide can be mediated by erm and msra genes in staphylococcus aureus . there are the evidences that show erm genes may be causative agent of inducible or constitutive resistance. the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of inducible clindamycin resistance and determine the most frequency of erm and msr a genes among s. aureus isolates. ...

background: in order to select a better antibiotic choice for treatment of pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, this study was conducted to determine the frequency of resistance to some antipseudomonal β-lactams in p. aeruginosa isolates from patients in tehran, iran. in addition, the relation between presence of genes known to be responsible for resistance to β-lactams (ampc, mexc1,2,and mexc3,4...

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 ...

Bacterial agents must be genotypically analyzed for vaccinations, effective control programs, and antimicrobial resistance genes that could transfer from aquaculture settings to terrestrial ecosystems and humans. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence, genotypic characterization, and antimicrobial resistance of Lactococcus garvieae for two years at aquaculture sites throughout Turkey. A tota...

Background and Objective: Enterococcal infections are considered the most common nosocomial infections. Nowadays, enterococci show high resistance to common antibiotics, especially vancomycin. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium is one of the most common nosocomial infections, which is included in the World Health Organization priority pathogens list for research and development of new an...

the aim of this study was to determine antibiotic resistance genes, phylogenetic groups and anti-microbial resistance patterns of escherichia coli isolates from fecal samples of healthy pet cats in kerman city. ninety e. coli isolates were recovered from obtained rectal swabs. antibiotic resistance pattern of the isolates against seven selected antibiotic was determined using disc diffusion met...

background: human exposure to antibiotic resistant bacteria (arb) is a public health concern which could occur in a number of ways. wastewaters seem to play an important role in the dissemination of bacteria and antibiotic resistant genes (args) in our environment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of three groups of arb and their resistance genes in hospital and municipal wa...

background in recent decades, bacterial antibiotic resistance (especially in enterococci) has become a significant problem for human and veterinary medicine. one of the most important antibiotic resistances in enterococci, vancomycin resistance, is encoded by van gene family. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate antibiotic resistance to vancomycin in enterococci and the genes res...

there is a growing concern about the application of molecular methods in epidemiological studies of infectious diseases. the objective of this study was to determine the genetic stability of methicillin resistance genes in staphylococcus aureus for the evaluation of resistance strain distribution. one hundred and fifteen s. aureus isolates from patients with staphylococcal infection were collec...
