Objective(s) Amongst the various antibiotic resistant elements in Vibrio. cholerae, SXT constin (SXT-C) is important. We were going to design a quick method for determination of antibiotic resistance gene pattern in SXT-C. Materials and Methods Ninety four V. cholerae O1El Tor isolates were used in this study. Antibiotic susceptibility testing, multiplex PCR amplification of SXT-C containing...

Background and Objective: In the current study, the relevance of the respiratory infection with the age, sex, and seasonal variation of the year were studied side by side with the determination of the responsible bacterial pathogen and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. Materials and Methods: One hundred sputum samples were collected to determine the causative bacteria of respiratory distr...

Tigecycline is a new glycylcycline antibiotic structurally similar to minocycline antibiotic. It has broad spectrum activity, including Staphylococcus aureus infections. This is the first study that evaluated the activity of Tigecycline against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from biological samples in Iran. In vitro activity of tigecycline against 160 Staphylococcus aureus including 99 methicil...

Background and Purpose: Candidiasis is a major fungal infection, and Candida albicans is the major cause of infections in humans. The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) developed new breakpoints for antifungal agents against C. albicans. In this multi-center study, we aimed to determine the drug susceptibility profile of C. albicans, isolated from Iranian population according...

Background and Objective: The healthy people’s fecal flora in the community represents a large potential reservoir. Therefore, the current study aimed to detect antibiotic resistance patterns and virulence factors in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from healthy volunteers’ feces. Materials and Methods: Three hundred and fifty stool specimens were collected from sales rep healthy individuals ref...

Purpose: Urinary tract infection is acommon infectious presentation in the community practice.It is also the most common cause of antimicrobial resistance in the society. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequencyand antimicrobial resistance pattern of the uropathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on the pati...

Introduction: Urinary tract infection is a common nosocomial infection that has recently become difficult to treat because of the increased emergence of multi-drug resistant strains. This study aims to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration, and molecular pattern of resistance to fosfomycin in Escherichia coli isolates originated from patients hospitalized with urinary tract infection i...

A case of palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with periodontosis and a history of recurrent severe pyoderma, pneumonia and multiple liver abscesses is described in a 12 year old girl. The patient demonstrated neutrophil dysfunction characterized by decreased random migration and chemotaxis and defective bactericidal activity. The exact immunopathological mechanism for susceptibility to infections i...

The purpose of this investigation was to examine mutations and mRNA levels potential genes linked diarrhea susceptibility in order assess the health status diarrheic kids Baladi goats. One hundred female (35 65 apparently healthy) were used. PCR-DNA sequencing conducted for TMED1, CALR, FBXW9, HS6ST3, SMURF1, KPNA7, FBXL2, PIN1, S1PR5, ICAM1, EDN1, MAPK11, CSF1R, LRRK1, CFH markers revealed nuc...
