background and objectives: cholera is an endemic diarrheal disease in iran, caused by vibrio cholerae . the epidemiology, transmission route, environmental determinants and antimicrobial resistant pattern of cholera have been changed during recent years. in this study the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of cholera in iran during 2013 outbreak was investigated. materials and methods: a...

BACKGROUND Pediatric infectious disease is one of the main problems in cancerous children that treat by chemotherapy drugs. Thus, study in this regard is necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial properties of ethanolic extract of Ziziphus Jujuba fruits against different infectious pathogens. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is descriptive. In vitro antimicrobial activity...

Antimicrobial peptides are small-molecule proteins that are usually encoded by multiple-gene families. They play crucial roles in the innate immune response, but reports on the functional divergence of antimicrobial peptide gene families are rare. In this study, 14 paralogs of antimicrobial peptides belonging to cecropin, moricin and gloverin families were recombinantly expressed in pET express...

background: the development of resistance to antimicrobial agents is a major problem in chemotherapy. finding agents which potentiate antimicrobial activity could be favorable. there are some reports that methylxanthines changed the inhibitory effect of antibacterial agents. thus, possible synergistic effect of methylxanthines, aminophylline and caffeine on some antibiotics, carbenicillin, ceft...

independent pathways. through both phoP-dependent and RpoS (sigma(S)) independent and occurs polymyxin B in Salmonella typhimurium is resistance to the antimicrobial peptide Starvation-and Stationary-phase-induced

In this paper, we provide a state-of-the-art overview of the ethical challenges that arise in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which includes an introduction to the contributions to the symposium in this issue. We begin by discussing why AMR is a distinct ethical issue, and should not be viewed purely as a technical or medical problem. In the second section, we expand on some of t...

Background: Infectious diarrhoea is an emergent problem in both developing and developed countries for high rates of mortality in infants. In recent years, drug resistance to microbial pathogens has been commonly reported from all over the world. Medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents. Plants are used medicinally in different countries especially in India and are a sou...

One of the methods to enhance bio-accessibility of drugs like Acridone and its oxime is toform inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin. The formation of such complexes has beenconfirmed by changes in spectral characteristics and melting point data. The aqueous phasesolubility studies reveal 1:1 stoichiometry between the compound and, β-cyclodextrin. The studyof thermodynamic parameters like ΔG,...

BACKGROUND Escherichia coli is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria, which cause urinary tract infections in infants as well as in adult human beings. Due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance in E. coli, there is a great demand of new antimicrobial agent for the treatment of infections caused by such E. coli. This study aims to isolate, identify and characterize the native soil-bacte...
