Background: Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus has a key role in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of infection. In this study we aimed to investigate the occurrence of the methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA )and mecA gene among healthy primary school boys in north of Iran.Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2017 to July 2017 in Sari l...

Salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens with many virulence factors playing a major role in its pathogenesis. The aims of this study were to detect spvA, int2 and invC virulence genes of different Salmonella serotypes isolated from various clinical animal and human sources, and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns among these serotypes. Using a PCR assay, a total of ...

Background and Objective: Hospitals niche as a source and repository for microbial infections are playing a significant role in the health of hospitalized patients. Bacteria are playing an essential role in human and animal blood infections and meningitis. The prevalence of bacterial agents and their susceptibility patterns are fundamental goals of current research. Materials and Methods: Samp...

Abstract Aim The purpose of this study was to determine the role Microbiological swabs taken during an Incision and drainage for Pilonidal abscess in patient management. Method We performed a closed-loop audit pus management pilonidal abscess. Parameters like demographics, date surgery, whether or not sent microbiological examination, subsequent report, time required sample processing, antibiot...

nowadays microbial biotechnology is considered as one of the most important and profitable branches of industry. in this approach, by using the generator microorganisms, we are able to produce biotechnological products, with higher efficiency. clavulanic acid is being used in combination with commonly used beta-lactam antibiotics in order to fight against bacterial infections that are resistant...

DESCRIPTION We present the case of monochronic dizygotic twins with perianal abscesses coincident in chronology and morphology. This image typifies the features of infant perianal disease that suggest a congenital aetiology. Twin 1 (weight 3.67 kg) andTwin 2 (weight 3.91 kg)were admitted to a tertiary paediatric surgical unit on the 34th day of life following a history of perianal abscess at th...

Inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing contributes to the global spread of antimicrobial resistance. The pending weekend with changed availability of general practitioners (GP) and increased patient concern may increase the intention to prescribe antimicrobials. The aim of this study is to analyse variation in antimicrobial prescribing between weekdays and weekend in Irish general practice. Al...

Clavulanate is a broad-spectrum beta-lactamase inhibitor, with activity against many of the chromosomally and plasmid-mediated beta-lactamases of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Although clavulanate has minimal antibacterial activity in vitro, accumulating evidence suggests that it may have an effect on pathogenic bacteria regardless of beta-lactamase production. Like other beta-...
