Byrne et al. (1) presented data on the superiority of cefoperazone amphotericin teicoplanin (CAT) selective medium over modified cefoperazone charcoal deoxycholate selective medium for the efficient isolation of Campylobacter upsaliensis from stools. There are alternatives to the use of selective media for the isolation of C. upsaliensis. Since 1977 we have routinely isolated campylobacters fro...

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in agricultural fields of Gorgan district, Golestan province. Soil samples were collected from 20 agricultural fields, half of them treated with chemical fertilizers and the rest with bovine manure. Two samples, from surface and a depth of 15cm, were taken. After enrichment and culture onto MacConkey agar, Pink colored...

Background: Appearance of multi-drug resistance (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii imposes limitation on antibiotic therapy in patients. Detection of MDR A. baumannii can play a crucial role to prevent MDR strains spreading in hospitals. The aim of this study was determination the efflux pumps gene expression in tigecyclin resistance strains in collected isolates from selected training hospitals in ...

ABSTRACTPropionibacterium acnes is propounded as one of the significant factors in occurrence of acne. Today, due to development of the antibiotic resistance, most of the acne treatments are faced with failure. In order to determine the antibiotic resistance of the P.acnes strains isolated from the patients with acne, this research has been carried out. 70 samples collected using microbial cult...

The present study had as objective to assess the microbiological quality and profile of some braised products their accompanying soups sold in city Bangangte (Cameroon) evaluate antibiotic susceptibility selected pathogens isolated these products. An investigation was conducted three locations order environment working conditions well respect good hygiene practices. Then, samples fish (05) its ...

This study investigated the antibiotic resistance profile of the L. garvieae isolated strains from Jordanian dairy products. Disk diffusion method was used. In particular, different antibiotics were tested against L. garvieae; the antibiotic disks were Trimethoprim (5 μg), Clindamycin (2 μg), Nitrofurantoin (300 μg), Erythromycin (15 μg), Ampicillin (15 μg), Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (1.25/...

Background: Among the bacteria that cause food poisoning, Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of food poisoning worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of S. aureus strains in Iranian hamburgers, analysis of their antibiotic resistance pattern, and molecular detection of mecA gene in isolated strains. Methods: A total of 100 Iranian handmade (traditi...

The antibacterial activity and enzymatic inactivation of lividomycin, a new aminoglycosidic antibiotic, were studied with 13 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The minimal inhibitory concentration of lividomycin was 12.5 to 25 mug/ml, and three strains were resistant to high concentrations of lividomycin (more than 200 mug/ml). It was found that P. aeruginosa TI-13 and K-11, highly lividomycin-...
