objective(s) resistance to antimicrobial agents, particularly metronidazole and clarithromycin, is frequently observed in helicobacter pylori and may be associated with treatment failure. this resistance rate varies according to the population studied. the aim of this study was to assess the pattern of antimicrobial resistance of h. pylori isolates from dyspeptic patients in isfahan. materials ...

Epidemiology and surveillance of neonatal sepsis helps in implementation of rational empirical antibiotic strategy. The present study was conducted to record the frequency of bacterial isolates of neonatal sepsis and their sensitivity pattern in neonates treated in our tertiary care NICU. In this retrospective study, neonates in whom neonatal sepsis was suspected and blood culture done were inc...

background and objectives: accurate designation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the infecting microorganisms is an important crucial factor in making appropriate therapeutic decisions. macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin b antibiotics are in a family, reserved as an alternative approach in treatment of resistant gram positive cocci. amongst them, clindamycin has been considered ...

Recent studies have suggested that ribosomal protein S12 modulates 16S rRNA function and susceptibility to 2-deoxystreptamine aminoglycosides. To study whether the non-restrictive K42R mutation in RpsL affects 2-deoxystreptamine susceptibility in Mycobacterium smegmatis, we studied the drug susceptibility pattern of various mutants with genetic alterations in the 16S rRNA decoding A-site in the...

Abstract: Background & Aims of the Study: The aim of this study was to detect and survey the antibiotic resistance pattern of Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa isolated from patients in Isfahan (located in central Iran) hospitals. Materials & Methods : A Total of 50 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from urine, wound, trachea, ear swab, and pus, and then were confirmed b...

Background: Pediatric patients on chemotherapy are vulnerable to invasive fungal infection especially Candida spices. Resistance to antifungal agents has increased in Candida spp., especially in non-albicans species. This study aims to assess the susceptibility of Candida spp. strains isolated from children with acute leukemia less than 18 years. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-s...

Background & Objective: Enterococcus Species are the common cause of nosocomial infections, which are highly resistant to ...
