background and objective: urinary tract infections (utis) are the most common infections in renal transplant recipients and are considered a potential cause of bacteremia, sepsis, and affects graft outcomes. the aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of uti among renal transplant recipients and investigation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of causative agents. materials...

Objective: To identify the Methicillin Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (MRCONS) and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from clinical specimens and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Methodology: All strains were recovered from clinical specimens according to 0.5 McFarland standard inoculated on Muller Hinton agar. Antibacterial susceptibility was tested by d...

the plant salvadora persica is used for oral hygiene in many parts of the world. it has been suggested that it has antibacterial properties, in addition to its ability to mechanically remove plaques. the aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the herbal product persica containing salvadora persica against periodontopathogens porphyromonas gingivalis and aggregatibacter ac...

background and objectives: staphylococcus aureus ( s. aureus ) nasal carriage may be responsible for some serious infections in hemodialyzed patients. the main target of this study was to estimate the prevalence of s. aureus nasal carriage in hemodialysis outpatients and medical staff in hemodialysis centers specifically in fez region. the second target is to identify the risks of colonization,...

salmonellosis is a very important disease of avian species because of its huge economic impact, worldwide distribution and difficulty posed in its control. fowl typhoid and pullorum disease, is caused by salmonella enterica subsp enterica serovar gallinarum biovar gallinarum and pullorum. the purpose of this study was to investigate the biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibil...

UNLABELLED Backgroun and Objective: Resistance to multiple antimicrobials is the major cause of debility and death due to infectious diseases around the world. Our objective was to determine the frequency and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of aerobic microbial isolates in a clinical laboratory. METHODOLOGY All culture specimens of tissue, pus, urine, bone, blood, fluid, stool, sputum, a...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Urinary tract infection (UTI) remain the common infections diagnosed in outpatients as well as in hospitalized patients. Current knowledge on antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of uropathogens is mandatory for appropriate therapy. Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBL) hydrolyse expanded spectrum cephalosporins like ceftazidime, cephotaxime which are used in the trea...

background and objectives: urinary tract infections (utis) are of the most common bacterial diseases worldwide. we investigate the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of escherichia coli (e. coli) strains isolated from pediatric patients with community acquired urinary tract infection (uti) to find a clinical guidance for choosing a right empirical antibiotic in these patients. materials and met...

background and objectives: the appearance of antibiotic resistance in streptococcus pneumoniae has raised a global concern over the past three decades. this study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of s. pneumoniae isolated from patients in children´s medical center (cmc) hospital during 2001 to 2011. materials and methods: during the 11 years period, a total of 194 s. ...

abstract background: escherichia coli, known as a clinically significant bacteria, can cause a wide range of infections, including urinary tract infections (utis), blood stream infections (bsis), and can frequently be isolated from various clinical specimens. evaluation of antimicrobial resistant pattern is a necessary action, especially about such bacteria which are frequent and life threateni...
