Important phenomena were discovered that oxygen-containing expanded graphite an Oxidized OligoGraphene (OOG) obtained after hydrothermic treatment of modified graphite became to be able to interact as sorbent OOG with glycopeptide antibiotics. Introduction. In this work was studied the sorption properties of carbon material as an example of Oxidized OligoGraphene (OOG) concerning glycopeptide a...

background protein a is the virulence factors of staphylococcus aureus rolling in its pathogenesis, and its gene is used for typing. polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) with different enzymes has been used for this action. objectives in this study, we used bsp143i enzyme for digestion of the gene, coding protein a (spa gene) in s. aureus. the bacteria w...

conclusions in the present study, we found a high prevalence of mrsa at the hospitals studied. the findings emphasized the increased prevalence of mrsa isolates containing different toxin and adhesion genes, probably accompanied by antimicrobial resistance. infection with such isolates worsens the clinical outcomes as well as the morbidity and mortality rates in hospitalized patients in icus. m...

Introduction: Surgical site infections are the second most common cause of nosocomial infection in the United States and lead to longer hospital stays, higher mortality rates, and increased cost. Diabetes mellitus has been linked to postoperative and nosocomial infection by many authors. There have been several efforts to define target ranges for perioperative blood glucose in an effort to help...

introduction: one of the most important agents in hospital-acquired infections is staphylococcus aureus. treatment of methicillin-resistant s. aureus (mrsa) infections with decreased susceptibility to vancomycin has recently been more difficult. the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible presence of vancomycin intermediate s. aureus (visa) and vancomycin- resistant s. aureus (vrsa) and ...

staphylococcus aureus causes a wide variety of infections worldwide. methicillin-resistant s. aureus is one of most common causes of nosocomial and community acquired infections. the fluoroquinolones are an important class of antibiotics that used to treat infections caused by s. aureus. today, a significant increase in the rate of ciprofloxacin resistance in methicillin-resistant s. aureus str...

abstract        background and objective: staphylococcus aureus is the most common and important infectious agent. this bacterium can enter the bloodstream and cause some complications in the intensive care unit (icu).this organism can frequently be found in the nose and transmitted by the carriers. this study aimed to determine the efficiency of eradicating s. aureus from the nose of icu perso...

Intravascular infection due to Staphylococcus aureus requires colonization of subendothelium in the presence of shear forces. von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large multimeric glycoprotein playing a key role in platelet adhesion to subendothelium. To determine whether VWF may also play a role in adhesion of S. aureus to endovascular sites, binding of VWF to S. aureus and adhesion of S. aureus t...
