conclusions antibiotic resistance gene cassettes may be carried on integron or other genetic elements. the purpose of this study was to detect integron or genomic islands involved in antibiotic resistance profile of the isolates of h. influenzae collected in this study. results of the twenty isolates, all (100%) were resistant to clindamycin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline, 95% to amoxicillin...

tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. drug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem and serious challenge to tuberculosis (tb) control programs. information about the susceptibility pattern of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against anti-tuberculosis drugs is an important aspect to tb control. the objectives of the study...

to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

knowledge of airflow resistance is an important consideration in designing an appro-priate ventilation system and for proper fan selection. an airflow resistance device was designed and fabricated to measure the airflow resistance of potatoes. the device the composed of an air compressor, a rotameter, a cylindrical bin to contain the potatoes and an inclined u-tube manometer. airflow resistance...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the response of plasma visfatin to resistance exercise intensity and its relationship with insulin resistance, growth hormone and il-6. after familiarization and determining their maximum strength (1-rm), 15 healthy young subjects (age: 26.2±4.1 yr, weight: 75.1±9.1 kg) performed three resistance exercise sessions at intensities of 30%, 55% and 80...

Lebanon has been considered a sample of Europe in the Middle East, and it is surprising to have an Islamic resistance against Israel in this small modern country. The Islamic Resistance was, at the beginning, portrayed as having a very different ideology from that of the neighboring countries of the Middle East. This Resistance was established on the basis of being a resistance model for the fr...

conclusions the high prevalence of tet (o) resistance gene along with new detection of tet (a) resistance gene in campylobacter spp. isolated from poultry carcasses revealed an extensive tetracycline resistance among campylobacter isolates from poultry in iran. it emphasized the need for cautious use of tetracycline in poultry production to decrease the extension of tetracycline-resistant campy...

objective: plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance is a major problem in malaria endemic areas. single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfcrt and pfmdr1 genes are known to be associated with chloroquine resistance in some parts of the world. the major goal of the present study was to detect the five single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfmdr1 gene and one single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfcrt ...

background urinary tract infection (uti) is a common problem in infants and children, as well as adults. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the most common bacterial uropathogens, their susceptibility, and resistance to antibiotics in children with uti. materials and methods this study included 7,365 urine samples sent from various departments to the kars state hospital microbiology...
