conclusions the trat gene and pai markers were highly prevalent among upec strains isolated from patients in kashan, iran; therefore these determinants could be used as targets for prophylactic interventions. also there was a high level of resistance against the antibiotics commonly used for urinary tract infection treatment. to reach better therapeutic outcomes, treatment regimens have to be m...

conclusions the presence of bft gene in b. fragilis isolates wouldnot certainly result in diarrheaamong patients. there is not enough accordance between ddm and swedish e tests for antimicrobial susceptibility of b. fragilis for some antibiotics, although in other cases a good agreement was observed. background enterotoxigenic bacteroides fragilis (etbf) are one of the most important anaerobic ...

background and objective: pseudomonas aeruginosa has become a frequent cause of nosocomial infections, particularly in intensive care units (icus). many reports have documented high rates of resistance in this species to commonly-used broad-spectrum antibiotics. the aim of this study was to assess the in vitro activity of some antibiotics against pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to determine the ...

background:the bacterial contamination of fertile eggs isthe most common cause of embryonic death in ostrich hatcheryunits leading to financial loss in ostrich industry. objectives:the aim of this research was to investigate the bacterialcontamination status, with emphasis on escherichia coli, ofostrich hatcheries and the antimicrobial resistance profile ofisolated escherichia coli. methods:ato...

background and aim: for rapid growing drug resistance among pathogenic microorganisms, it is essential to find new compounds with antimicrobial activity. medicinal herbs application in traditional treatment for thousand years, make this natural compound to the best choice for antimicrobial studies. the aim of this study is to determine the antimicrobial activity of artemisia against some import...

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance is particularly harmful to infectious disease management in low-income countries since expensive second-line drugs are not readily available. The objective of this study was to implement and evaluate a computerized system for surveillance of antimicrobial resistance at a tertiary hospital in Tanzania. METHODS A computerized surveillance system for antimicro...

The global emergence of antimicrobial resistance has become a pre-eminent concern in medicine and public health. Antimicrobial resistance is of particular concern because the problem is widespread, the causative factors are uncontrolled, and national strategies to address the problem are lacking. The persisting burden of infectious diseases makes elimination of antibiotic use unethical, but dra...

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection with major public health implications and Neisseria gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to all antimicrobials introduced for treatment. Enhanced surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in N. gonorrhoeae is crucial globally. This is the first internationally reported antimicrobial resistance data for N. gonorrhoeae from Estonia (44 isolates cultur...

The appearance of resistance to many first-line antimicrobial agents presents a critical challenge to the successful treatment of bacterial infections. Antimicrobial resistant bacteria and resistance genes are globally distributed, but significant variations in prevalence have been observed in different geographical regions. This article discusses possible relationships between socioeconomic an...
