A current phenomenon of great concern among the medical communities in developing countries is rising multi-drug resistant organisms, and the challenges of curing the infections in children. In this study, we evaluated the multi drug resistant strains of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection in children in southern Iran. Totally, 90 strains of E. coli were collected from urine ...

Graphical Abstract Based on the genotype and phenotype, aztreonam plus avibactam were considered for multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in infected pancreatic necrosis.

INTRODUCTION Wound infections remain a public health problem, despite the progress made on improving surgical techniques and antibiotic prophylaxis application. Misuse of antibiotics to prevent bacterial infections leads to increased bacterial resistance and their dissemination. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study refers to 470 samples taken from wound infections of which only multi-drug resistant...

Background and objective: The treatment of bacterial infections especially of the family Staphylococcaceae is a significant health burden that has led to economic losses, and high morbidity and mortality rates globally. This study aimed at the isolation and characterization of coagulase-positive, methicillin, and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococci isolated from wounds of patients. Methods: Fo...

BACKGROUND Mesial temporal epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common type of focal epilepsy in adults, and is often drug-resistant. This study investigated the effects of aquaporins (AQP) inhibitor on multi-drug-resistant protein expression in an MTLE rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS The MTLE rat model was established by injecting pilocarpine into rats. The MTLE rats were divided into an MTLE-6 h group...
