A study of the microflora of 1037 patients with complicated diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) was conducted over the period of 2010 through 2014. The quantity of gram-positive flora among aerobic germs increased from 52.7% (2010) to 61.4% (2014) with Staphylococcus aureus (62.5%) and Enterococcus faecalis (23.5%) prevailing. Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia coli prevailed among aerobic gram-negativ...

Numerous reports have appeared in the literature pertaining to laboratory studies of compounds that will inhibit microbial growth. The inhibitors that were found to be effective have been used in attempts to control microbial deterioration of various materials. These inhibitors have not functioned properly in some instances, and the investigators that reported these compounds to be effective ha...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of vancomycin administration in the hematology-oncology ward of Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Iran. Study criteria were developed to assess the several parameters involved in vancomycin therapy. These parameters include the appropriateness of drug usage, dosage, duration of therapy, monitoring for toxicity and serum concentration monitoring. ...

Background and Aims: This study aimed to investigate the amount of Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients' urine with Gram-positive cocci infections Materials and Methods: The microbial culture was prepared from 100 urine samples and the results were recorded. The genus and bacterial were species identified and an antibiogram test was conducted to investigate their resis...

contact lens wearers are at great risk of developing microbial keratitis because of incorrect usages and unhygienic maintenance of contact lenses. therefore, the present study was planned to provide data that will be helpful in selecting the anti-microbial to cure microbial keratitis. one hundred bacterial isolates from conjunctiva of contact lenses wearer were isolated, identified and subjecte...

background and objective: implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. this study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...

The Microbiological Criteria (MC) is a set of parameters used to determine whether a specific lot of food is acceptable or not. These parameters are the microbial test protocol and its sensitivity, the confidence level that an unacceptable lot will be detected, the number of samples to be taken and the number of positive samples that are allowed before rejecting the lot. Determining the microbi...

Klebsiella species are one of the major causes systematic infections, theses gram negative organisms also capable housing various resistant genes to resist potency conventional antibiotics. These observations account for need assess antibacterial activity Gentamicin and natural products against Klebsiella. A total fifty (50) clinical isolates different pathological sources were collected from f...
