Introduction: Urinary tract infection is a common bacterial infection in childhood . Approximately 3-5% of girls and 1% of boys acquire a urinary tract infection (UTI). The management of UTI is complicated by the increasing prevalence of antibiotic- resistant strains and over the - counter antibiotics empiric therapy with antibiotics such as ampicillin , amoxicillin and cotrimoxazo...

Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of nosocomial infections which affect mainly disabled patients in intensive care units. The bacteria may acquire resistance to antibiotics and hence can seriously endanger antibiotic therapy. The most important problem facing treatment of A. baumannii is increasing reports of resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, including carbapenems,...

background and objectives: recently, nosocomial infections have been discussed as a critical issue among intubated patients leading to significant morbidity and mortality. hence, the pattern of microbiological colonization and antibiotic resistance are much valuable in this regard. we aimed to investigate the pattern of microorganism colonization and antibiotic resistance in patients with endot...

results the most effective agent against the studied isolates was colistin. by cddt, it was found that among 278 imipenem resistant p. aeruginosa strains, 178(64.02%) were mbl producers. the blaimp-1 and blavim-1 genes were detected in 30(16.8%) and 52(29.2%) of p. aeruginosa isolates, respectively. result of 187 imipenem resistance a. baumannii strains showed that 85(45.4%) were mbl producers....

conclusions: in the present study, we have figured out that a number of the important anaerobic infections treatment antibiotics have lost partly or totally their effectiveness on b. fragilis. background: bacteroides fragilis are among the most important anaerobic bacteria behind most of the anaerobic infections. they have acquired resistance to essential treatment antibiotics of anaerobic infe...

introduction: due to more resistance of pathogenic bacteria to new and current antibiotics researchers are looking to find the agents of herbal with antimicrobial activities in order to replace chemical drugs. methods: the herbal extract of withani somnifera was done by using a rotary vacuum, 20 strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from urinary infections hospitalized patients in cit...

conclusions according to the direct correlation between the increase in the prevalence rate of genital mycoplasmas and increased age of pregnancy, initially, it is better to prevent pregnancy at older ages, and then, should a pregnancy occur, the highest levels of health cares should be provided to older pregnant women. materials and methods three hundred and fifty high vaginal swabs were taken...

background and objectives: staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections in every region of the world. clindamycin is one of the alternative agents used to treat s. aureus infections and accurate identification of clindamycin resistance is important to prevent therapeutic failure. unfortunately, inducible clindamycin resistance is not detected by st...

in this essay, the heavy metal resistance patterns of bacterial strains isolated from industrial wastewater, domestic wastewater and various parts of the wastewater treatment system of arak city have been studied. 28 intestinal bacterial strains were screened and identified as klebsiella, escherichia coli, citrobacter and enterobacter species biochemical methods. the minimum inhibitory concentr...

conclusions campylobacter is responsible for some important clinical problems such as enteritis and is also associated with meningitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. it is imperative to monitor the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of campylobacter spp. as well as other the zoonotic bacteria. results twelve (10%) campylobacter spp. from 120 stool samples were isolated including c. coli and c...
