Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with a wide range of digestive diseases and is very prevalent in developing countries, although few data exist on the susceptibility of helicobacter pylori to antimicrobial agents. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility patterns in helicobacter pylori strains isolated from patients in Kermanshah to twelve antimicrobial...

background candiduria is a rising condition among hospitalized patients and candida albicans is the most common recovered agent. however, non-albicans candida species (nacs) such as c. glabrata, c. krusei, c. parapsilosis, and c. tropicalis are also important. although most candida species especially c. albicans are sensitive to routinely used antifungals, an increasing trend in resistance has ...

Patterns of HIV-1 protease inhibitor (PI) resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) and effects on PI susceptibility associated with the L76V mutation were studied in a large database. Of 20,501 sequences with ≥1 PI RAM, 3.2% contained L76V; L76V was alone in 0.04%. Common partner mutations included M46I, I54V, V82A, I84V, and L90M. L76V was associated with a 2- to 6-fold decrease in susceptibilit...

Hereditary cancers are the result of germline mutations in specific genes that increase susceptibility to cancer. This susceptibility is spread among family members according to different patterns of inheritance. Inherited susceptibility to cancer, does not imply the certainty of developing it in all cases. In this sense many questions have come out in recent years, not only in the medical sens...
