متن کاملMechanisms of biofilm resistance to antimicrobial agents.
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms attached to a surface. It has become clear that biofilm-grown cells express properties distinct from planktonic cells, one of which is an increased resistance to antimicrobial agents. Recent work has indicated that slow growth and/or induction of an rpoS-mediated stress response could contribute to biocide resistance. The physical and/or chemical struc...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa: phenotypic flexibility and antimicrobial resistance
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a widespread ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen, is a leading cause of opportunistic infections in humans and is associated with an ever-widening spectrum of infections and multidrug-resistance phenomena. The evolution and spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens has become a threat to public health and strongly affects the effectiveness of most currently available antimi...
متن کاملResistance Rates to Various Antimicrobial Agents of Helicobacter pylori Isolates in Eastern Turkey
The aim of this study was to determine the resistance rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to various antimicrobial agents. The agar disk diffusion method (Kirby Bauer) was used to determine the sensitivity of H. pylori isolates to various antimicrobials. Of the 61 H. pylori isolatestested, no isolates was resistant to amoxycillin and tetracycline. The resistance rates were 42.6% for metron...
