background nosocomial infections are generally occurring 72 hours after admittance and are not present or incubating prior to admittance. the most common nosocomial infection is urinary tract infection (uti). scanty data are available regarding the nosocomial infections in iranian teaching hospitals. the aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of symptomatic nosocomial uti, iden...

conclusions high mdr isolates of e. coli were observed in this study. the significant association between class 1 integrons and resistance to ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, co-trimoxazole, amoxicillin, ceftazidime and tetracycline showed that class 1 integrons have an important role in resistance to these antibiotics in this region. results the highest rate of resistance was observed toward cep...

this study was intended to investigate the effectiveness of static magnetic field on the growth of escherichia coli (e. coli) provided from two sources, the urine samples of patients with urinary tract infections and the reference strain e. coli atcc 25922. bacterial samples in nutrient broth were subjected to a range of magnetic intensities (2, 4, 6, 9, 14, 16, 18, and 20 mt) at various exposu...

conclusions our findings implied that a wide range of bacteria could be involved in creating urinary tract infection in patients referred to a medical laboratory of kashani and hajar hospital in shahrekord, iran. regardless of age, sex and the use of catheter, a wide range of bacteria could be involved in urinary tract infections. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study 147 urine sam...
