the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولEvaluation of Etest for susceptibility testing of rapidly growing mycobacteria.
MICs of amikacin, cefoxitin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, doxycycline, and imipenem were determined by Etest for 100 clinical strains of rapidly growing mycobacteria and compared with MICs determined by a reference agar dilution method. Etest MICs were also determined by an alternative inoculum application (agar overlay) method and compared with MICs determined by the inoculum application met...
متن کاملInfections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria.
Rapidly growing mycobacteria, generally of low virulence, are capable of causing a wide spectrum of infections. Increasing reports in the literature, referral center experiences, and data from the Infectious Disease Society of America Emerging Infectious Disease Network suggest that greater numbers of infections are occurring. Epidemiological study is imperative in understanding the true incide...
متن کاملEvaluation of INNO-LiPA mycobacteria v2 assay for identification of rapidly growing mycobacteria
A total of 54 rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) isolated from patients attended in the two hospitals of Cádiz Bay (Spain) were selected during a seven-year-period (2000-2006) in order to evaluate the INNO-LiPA Mycobacteria v2 assay for mycobacterial identification, based on the reverse hybridization principle. The strains were cultured in Löwenstein-Jensen and Middlebrook 7H9 media and identif...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of BDQ against rapidly growing mycobacteria by assessing the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bacteric...
