Non-typhoidal salmonellosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by Salmonella enterica. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in Salmonella spp. and its association with fluoroquinolone susceptibility in Brazil. A total of 129 NTS isolates (samples from human origin, food from animal origin, environmental, and animal) grouped as fro...

INTRODUCTION Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance, which complicates treatment, has been increasingly identified in Escherichia coli isolates worldwide. The purpose of this study was to identify the plasmid-mediated qnrA and qnrB genes among the quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infections in Iran. METHODOLOGY A total of 140 Escherichia coli isolates were colle...

Background Resistant Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC), is the most prevalent source of diarrhea in pediatrics. This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial resistance properties of STEC strains of diabetic and non-diabetic pediatrics with diarrhea. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study conducted from December 2014 to September 2015 in an educational hospital, ...

A total of 232 isolates of gram-negative bacteria were recovered from mammals, reptiles, and birds housed at Asa Zoological Park, Hiroshima prefecture, Japan. Forty-nine isolates (21.1%) showed multidrug resistance phenotypes and harbored at least one antimicrobial resistance gene. PCR and DNA sequencing identified class 1 and class 2 integrons and many beta-lactamase-encoding genes, in additio...

هدف: سطوح بالای همیاری در جوامعی شکل می­ گیرد که آن افرادی از هنجارهای خاصی تخطی کنند، با رفتار تنبیهی دیگران مواجه شوند. هدف مطالعه حاضر تفکیک انواع واکنش افراد به پیشهادهای ناعادلانه و بررسی مولفه­ های الکتروفیزیولوژیک آنان بود. روش: 40 نفر جنسیت مذکر دانشجویان دانشگاه شهید بهشتی طریق نمونه گیری دسترس این شرکت کردند آنها اصلاح­ شده بازی ­های دیکتاتور اولتیماتوم مورد سنجش ارزیابی قرار گرفت. یا...
