[ 1 ] - Evaluation of antibacterial effects of Zataria multiflora Boiss extracts against ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains

Objective: There are few therapeutic options for treatment of multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates as a hospital infectious agent (nosocomial infection). The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Zataria multiflora Boiss extracts against ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 100 K. pneumoniae isola...

[ 2 ] - Antibacterial Effects of Citrus aurantium on Bacteria Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection

Background :  Emerging antibacterial resistance rates and beta-lactamase producing bacteria recovered from UTI is an increasing problem in different regions, limiting therapeutic options. Therefore, this survey consider to use the extract and essence of the citrus aurantium (which have a so many rate of planting in Iran) and also survey on extract on bacteria whose cause urinary tract infe...

[ 3 ] - In vitro evaluation of capsaicin inhibitory effects on zonula occludens toxin in vibrio cholerae ATCC14035 strain

Background: Cholera is a potentially epidemic and life-threatening secretory diarrhoea characterized by voluminous watery stools, often accompanied by vomiting, and resulting in hypovolemic shock and acidosis. It is caused by certain strains of the species Vibrio cholerae which can also cause mild or in apparent infections. The aim of this study is the evaluation of Capsaicin, as a potential in...

[ 4 ] - بررسی ویرولانس فاکتورها در سویه های حساس و مقاوم به متی سیلین استافیلوکوک اورئوس جدا شده از کودکان مراجعه کننده به بیمارستان مرکز طبی کودکان تهران

Background and aim: Staphylococcus is a bacterium responsible for a wide range of diseases, from mild skin infections to lethal necrosis pneumonia. The aim of this study was to determine the virulence factors among methicillin resistant and sensitive strains isolated from clinical specimens of children referred to the pediatric medical center and also to be aware of their antibiotic resistance....

[ 5 ] - استفاده از ترکیب آنتی بیوتیک بتالاکتام و مهارکننده بتالاکتاماز بر علیه باکتری‌ها

The study emphasizes the reasons use of beta-lactamase inhibitors in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics. ß-lactam-ß-lactamase inhibitors are currently the most successful strategy for infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenemases bacteria.

[ 6 ] - بررسی فراوانی آلودگی به کلامیدیا تراکوماتیس در سقط خودبخودی مراجعه کننده به مراکز درمانی شهید بهشتی به روش Nested PCR در سال 1391

Abstract Background: Bacterial, viral or other infectious pathogens have been regarded as a potential cause of spontaneous abortions during the recent years. This study was done to determine the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in women with spontaneous abortion. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on women with spontaneous abortions who were referred to...

[ 7 ] - بررسی باکتری‌های ایجاد کننده عفونت‌های جلدی و الگوی مقاومت آنتی‌بیوتیکی آنها در مراجعین به بیمارستان‌های شهدا و لقمان در سال 1390- 1389

Abstract Background: Diagnosis of bacterial causes of cutaneous infections and determination of their resistance to different antibiotics is required for choosing the optimal treatment. This study was performed on bacterial cultures which were taken from patients with cutaneous infections. Materials and methods: Samples were collected from 110 patients with cutaneous infections referred to...

[ 8 ] - مقایسه تاثیر گیاه همیشه‌بهار با سفالوسپورین‌ها بر باکتری‌های جدا شده از بیماران مبتلا به سلولیت

Abstract Background: Presence of the beta-lactamase enzyme results in microbial resistance to beta-lactam and cell wall synthesis inhibitor antibiotics. This study was conducted to compare effects of Calendula officinalis extract and cephalosporines, as a cell wall synthesis inhibitor antibiotic, on bacteria isolated from patients with cellulitis. Methods: This experimental study was done o...

[ 9 ] - مقایسه تاثیر گیاه شیرین‌بیان با آنتی‌بیوتیک‌های نالیدیکسیک اسید و نیتروفورانتوئین بر باکتری‌های جدا شده از بیماران مبتلا به سنگ‌ها وعفونت ادراری

Abstract Background: Although current medicine has some advantages compared with traditional medicine, one of its important problems is overuse of chemical drugs that leads to drug resistance and side effects. According to antibacterial effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra extracts, this study was conducted to Compare effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra and nalidixic acid and nitrofurantoin on isolated b...
