Antimicrobial consumption and resistance in five Gram-negative bacterial species in a hospital from 2003 to 2011.

Tazocin (Piperacillin-tazobactam) Susceptibility Pattern in Nosocomial Infections

Background & Aims: Utility of antibiotics, such as third and fourth generation of cephalosporins and carbapenems, and resistance to these antibiotics in hospital acquired infections are increased. There are scientific data that support the application of Tazocin (piperacillin-tazobactam) as an empirical treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections. In our area there is not much informat...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-negative Bacilli Isolated from Urinary Tracts Infections

Frequency of Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) in Gram Negative Bacteria from Urinary Infection in Gorgan, 2011-12

Abstract Background and objective: The periodic evaluation of antimicrobial activity of different antibiotic is essential because antibiotic sensitivity pattern may also changed during short courses. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of Multi-drug Resistance (MDR) in Gram negative uropathogens. Material and Methods: This study was conducted on 111 gram negative uropatho...

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Resistance Among Gram-Negative Isolates Collected from Intensive Care Units and Reliability of Routine Disc Susceptibility Tests at a Teaching Hospital in Tehran

Antibiotic resistance of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) born aerobic gram-negative bacteria was evaluated during a six months period at a teaching hospital in Tehran, and determination of the validity of the results obtained from disc diffusion tests, using discs manufactured in Iran. Disc susceptibility tests using Iranian and standard discs (diffusion discs available in international markets) were...

Frequency and Detection of Antibiotic - Resistance Patterns in Bacteria Isolated from Children

Abstract Background and Objective: Bacterial infectioins in particular meningitis, pneumonia and septicemia are still some of the most causes of mortalities in children.The aim of present study was to identify the most common bacterial agents causing infectionis in children under 14 and detection of antibiotic resistance paterns. Material and Methods: During two years,1897samples were...
