[ 1 ] - Antagonistic Effect of Probiotics on Drug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginousa isolated from Burn Wound Infection in Mazandaran Province
Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium and is one of the main causes of infection in burn patients. As this bacterium gets resistant to various types of antibiotics through different acquiring mechanisms, it can easily result in skin deformities and even patients’ death. Methods: This descriptive study was carried o...
[ 2 ] - A Study on the Antimicrobial Effect of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Clinical Strains of Staphylococcus aureus Resistant to Vancomycin
Staphylococcus aureus, as one of the main agentsfor hospital infections,is considered as highly important because they show resistance to a wide range of antibiotics.Resistance to selective antibiotics such as vancomycin is a serious problemin the medical community; thus it seems rational to use alternative substances for treating these bacteria.The aim of this study isto investigate the preval...
[ 3 ] - Inhibitory Effect of Probiotic Bacteria Isolated from Camel Milk on Clinical Strains of Drug-Resistant Helicobacter pylori
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Helicobacter pylori is the most common cause of gastritis and ulcer worldwide. Treatment of such infections may lead to failure due to drug resistance. This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of bacteria present in camel milk on the growth of drug-resistant clinical isolat...
[ 4 ] - Molecular Monitoring of Fosfomycin Resistance in Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Patients with Urinary Catheters in north-east of Iran
Introduction: Urinary tract infection is a common nosocomial infection that has recently become difficult to treat because of the increased emergence of multi-drug resistant strains. This study aims to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration, and molecular pattern of resistance to fosfomycin in Escherichia coli isolates originated from patients hospitalized with urinary tract infection i...
[ 5 ] - Broad-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases and Drug-Resistance Phenotypes of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Clinical Specimens in Gonbad-e Kavus, Golestan Province, Iran
Introduction: This study aimed to determine the frequency of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and different drug resistance phenotypes in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical specimens in Gonbad-e Kavus, Golestan Province. Methods: 220 clinical samples of urine, blood, pus, sputum, CSF, body fluids, and ear and eye discharge were collected during six months from April to September ...
