Microbial Etiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bactria Implicated in Urinary Tract Infection in Tehran, Iran
Background and Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infectious diseases with different microbial agent and antimicrobial resistant pattern in hospitalized patients and outpatients. In order to assess the adequacy of therapy, knowledge of prevalence and resistance pattern of the bacteria is necessary. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and ...
متن کاملMicrobial Flora and Food Borne Pathogens on Minced Meat and Their Susceptibility to Antimicrobial Agents
BACKGROUND Food-borne pathogens are the leading cause of illness and death in developing countries. Changes in eating habits, mass catering, unsafe food storage conditions and poor hygiene practices are major contributing factors to food associated illnesses. In Ethiopia, the widespread habit of raw beef consumption is potential cause for food borne illnesses. The present study aimed at investi...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Streptococcus mutans to antimicrobial agents.
Fifty strains of Streptococcus mutans, including defined strains and clinical isolates, were tested for susceptibility to 20 different antimicrobial agents. Minimal inhibitory concentrations were determined by a liquid microtiter procedure. Antibiotics that were most effective in concentrations below 0.1 mug/ml included penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, cephalothin, and methicillin. Antibio...
متن کاملMicrobial genomics and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is key in modern clinical microbiology. With pandemic emergence of (multi-)antibiotic resistance, methods to detect and quantify resistance of clinically important bacterial species are imperative. Historically, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was mostly performed using methods relying on bacterial growth. Such methods may be time-con...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Yersinia pestis to novel and conventional antimicrobial agents.
OBJECTIVES To determine the susceptibility of southern African strains of Yersinia pestis to novel as well as conventional antimicrobial agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MICs of 28 strains of Yersinia pestis from a southern African plague focus were determined by agar dilution. RESULTS The most active agents were cefditoren and the fluoroquinolones, both conventional and novel. The in vitr...
