antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon in which antibiotic used to treat bacteria becomes useless due to resistance mechanism. increased drug resistance and occurrence of multiple drug resistance in bacteria specificity nosocomial and urinary tract infection bacteria has reduced the possibilities of treating these infectious diseases. efflux pumps are one of the major mechanism of mdr in bacteri...

background: the frequency of sonographic report of liver fat infiltration in asymptomatic person is increasing. the aim of this study was evaluation of liver function and detection of frequency of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in asymptomatic persons with fatty liver in sonographic examinations. materials and methods: seventy six patients with fatty liver in sonographic examination ...

skid resistance and road condition are common indices of road safety; therefore providing adequate skidding resistance will reduce the incidence of road accidents. the surface macrotexture has a large effect on the characteristics of road surface skidding, which is the focus of this research. during the study, the mean texture depth of the road surface was measured, in order to determine the co...

the purposes of this research were to the evaluation of resistance to nickel and cadmium in 52 indigenous and non-indigenous strains of contaminated soils and a study of growth promoting characteristics of some resistant isolates. resistance test at three levels of cadmium (0, 100, 200 mg l-1) and five levels of nickel (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000 mg l-1) in the framework of a completely randomized ...

Late blight, a potato disease caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is of great economic significance, and has been the subject of numerous research projects aimed at both introducing resistance to the disease into potato cultivars, and at unravelling the mechanisms and genes underlying this resistance. This report is on publications about mapping the resistance to P. infestans enco...

Evaluation of Resistance to Leaf Spot Diseases and Yield Characteristics in Faba Bean Genotypes through Cluster Analysis Genotype by Trait Biplot

septoria tritici blotch (stb), caused by the ascomycete fungus mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. in this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to stb (pr-1, bsi, msr, per, and ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘fronta...

the plain carbon steel “ck45” has relatively well mechanical and metallurgical properties and low cost. the purpose of this research was the property evaluation of this steel on abrasive wear and impact for using in plows and other tillage tools. tillage tool should resist in abrasive wear and impact simultaneously. several heat treatments were done on specimens of this steel. a standard test d...

Susceptibility testing of laboratory strains and clinical isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi indicates that resistance to erythromycin is present in them. Evaluation of the MICs, minimal bactericidal concentrations, and kinetics of bacterial killing of erythromycin suggests that this resistance is increased by preexposure to the antibiotic, is dependent on inoculum size, and may be the result of ...
