Bactericidal Effects of Essential Oils from Clove, Lavender and Geranium on Multi-Drug Resistant Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The inhibitory effects of essential oils including clove, lavender and geranium extracted from Eugenia caryophyllata, Lavandula officinalis and Pelargonium graveolens on multidrug resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated. The main constituents of clove, lavander and geranium oil were eugenol (80-90%), 1,8-cineol (13%) and citronellol (45%) respectively. Clove had the most ...
متن کاملThe Determination of Metallo-Beta-Lactamase Enzymes Prevalence in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa using Etest and their Antibiogram Patterns in Kermanshah, Iran
Background & Aims: One of the main causes of nosocomial infection is pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenems is one of the most important classes of antibiotics used in the treatment of infections caused by this bacteria. Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production is one of the most important mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems and their increased prevalence is a serious threat to treatment of ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Effect of Multilayered Carbon Nanotubes on Multi-Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the primary cause of infection with impaired defense mechanisms. P. aeruginosa commonly causes nosocomial infections and is the most common pathogen isolated from patients hospitalized for longer than 1 week. We examined the antimicrobial effect of multilayered carbon nanotubes on multi-drug-resistant. Materials and methods: In this research, 20 clinical i...
متن کاملEmergence of Imipenem Resistance and Presence of Metallo--Lactamases Enzymes in Multi Drug Resistant Gram Negative Bacilli Isolated from Clinical Samples in Kerman, 2007-2008
Background & Aims: Imipenem is a member of Carbapenem with stability against most -lactamases .It is of particular use in the treatment of infections associated with drug resistant gram negative bacteria harboring ESBL and AmpC genes. The aim of this study was to determine the imipenem resistance in gram negative bacteria causing nosocomial infections and the presence of metallo--lactamases (MB...
متن کاملAssociation Between Metallo-β-lactamases and Integrons with Multi-Drug Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the most important pathogens in the nosocomial infections. A genetic mobile element, the integron, is one of the major agents involved in dissemination of multi-drug resistance among gram negative bacteria. During a descriptive study from October 2009 to August 2010, some 130 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were collected from different wards of three hospitals...
