We compared 8,144 Salmonella isolates collected from meat imported to or produced in Denmark, as well as from Danish patients. Isolates from imported meat showed a higher rate of antimicrobial drug resistance, including multidrug resistance, than did isolates from domestic meat. Isolates from humans showed resistance rates lower than those found in imported meat but higher than in domestic meat...

background :    unfortunately, antibiotic resistance has become an increasingly critical problem in many countries like iran. since there are very few published data on antibiotics resistance in alborz province, the aim of this study was to survey the pattern of antimicrobial resistance and prevalence detection of tem-type beta-lactamases among clinical isolates of escherichia coli using univer...

Patterns of drug resistance in recurrent cases of tuberculosis may be different than in those without a history of treatment. In this retrospective study, the drug resistance pattern and outcome of treatment with DOTS category I (CAT I) regimen was compared in 63 recurrent cases and 872 new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis from April 2003 to January 2008 at the National Research Institute of Tub...

The occurrence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health problem globally, and aquatic environments are recognized as reservoir for antibiotic-resistant bacteria associated with antibiotic resistance genes. Antibiotic resistance hotspots are found not only in medical settings but also in environmental compartments that are subjected to anthropogenic pressure, such as munici...

Background: The prevalence of drug resistance was higher in areas with poor tuberculosis control. Resistance to Anti tuberculosis treatment was found in all 35 countries and regions surveyed. Objective: To Compare of Drug Resistance pattern in cases under supervised vs unsupervised treatment. Study design: Hospital based study. Setting: Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Motilal Nehru Medical Co...

background and objectives: taking into account a few principles concerning human being, it becomes plausible that the human spirit would also have a similar reaction to spiritual “medicine” provided to it. in order to better understand how this is possible, we must consider the means by which the human spirit becomes resistant to spiritual remedies and compare them with the resistance developed...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com resistance to vancomycin portend a chemotherapeutic era in which effectual bactericidal antibiotics against this organism may no longer be available [4]. The irony of this trend toward progressively more resistant bacteria is that it coincides with a period of increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Unfortuna...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) plasmids frequently carry antibiotic resistance genes conferring qualitatively different mechanisms of resistance. We show here that the antibiotic concentrations selecting for the RK2 plasmid inEscherichia colidepend upon the sociality of the drug resistance: the selection for selfish drug resistance (efflux pump) occurred at very low drug concentrations, just 1.3% o...
