[ 1 ] - Prevalence rate of resistance to ciprofloxacin among clinical pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Kurdistan province, west of Iran
Background and Aim: Infection by drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes important therapeutic problems. The present study was performed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility and prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes in P. aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, 61 clinical P. aeruginosa isolates were collected in Sanandaj between April and September...
[ 2 ] - Genotypic Investigation of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection
Background and purpose: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have recently emerged as major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI). The aims of this study were to determine antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from UTI and to detect the presence of mecA (causing resistance to methicillin) and SCCmec types. Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 44 S. au...
[ 3 ] - Antibiotic resistance and typing of agr locus in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical samples in Sanandaj, Western Iran
Objective(s): Infections by Staphylococcus aureus remain an important health problem. The aims were to detect mecA, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), accessory gene regulator (agr), and integrons in S. aureus and to investigate the relationship of agr types with antibiotic resistance of isolates. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 70 S. aureus isolates w...
