background:urinary tract infections (utis) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. the uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) strains account for as much as 80% of utis. objective:from a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in upec strains in pediatrics. therefore, this study was carried out to invest...

the use of herbal products in the prevention of the growth of pathogens have been widely studied. problems in the treatment of infections caused by resistant strains of fungi are indicator of the need for a more in-detailed study of herbal remedies. artemisia aucheri is used as a medicinal plant with anti-microbial properties, and as an astringent. plant tissue culture is an important technique...

conclusions regarding the importance of metallo-beta-lactamase (mbl) produced by pseudomonas spp. isolated from hospitals, quick identification of clinical samples should be considered as an important and basic step to treat and control infections caused by pseudomonas spp. results strains with mic > 4 µg/ml were investigated by phenotypic and genotypic methods. in the current study the rate of...

Objective(s) Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are capable of producing diseases in humans. Since mycobacteria vary in their susceptibility, precise identification is critical for adoption of correct drug therapy. The main aim of this study was molecular identification and evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Iranian clinically isolated Myocbacterium fortuitum. Materials and...

Background & Objectives: Due to the importance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in severe inpatient infections and high mortality, the need for an efficient vaccine against these bacteria is increasing. In this regard, the general outer membrane porin of the most problematic microorganism P. aeruginosa, outer membrane protein F (OprF), is a good vaccine cand...

We determined the susceptibilities of 144 clinical and 49 environmental Aeromonas strains representing 10 different species to 26 antimicrobial agents by the agar dilution method. No single species had a predominantly nonsusceptible phenotype. A multidrug nonsusceptible pattern was observed in three (2.1%) clinical strains and two (4.0%) strains recovered from diseased fish. Common clinical str...

Twenty-five environmental and 19 clinical strains of Vibrio mimicus were tested for antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Environmental strains were resistant to streptomycin, kanamycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; clinical strains were susceptible. Environmental strains showed variable resistance to ampicillin (44%), but clinical strains were susceptible. All strains tested were susceptib...
