abstract aims: the increasing usage of antibiotics can cause resistance to the treatment of infections, which can caused by bacteria, e.g. pseudomonas aeruginosa. the aim of this study was to trace the class i, ii and iii integrons in isolates of p. aeruginosa of nosocomial infection and determining the antibiotic resistance pattern of the bacteria. instrument & methods: in this cross-sectional...

background and objectives: hospital surfaces can serve as reservoirs of potential pathogenic bacteria.staff hands are the main source of bacterial transmission in hospital. the prevalence of bacteria harboring β– lactamase enzyme in staff hands and hospital surfaces, leads to spread of β–lactamase producing bacteria and ultimate increase of antibiotic resistance nosocomial infections. the aim o...

background assessment of resistance genes is imperative, as they become disseminated to bacterial flora in plants and to the indigenous bacterial community, and thus ultimately contributes to the clinical problems of antibiotic resistant pathogens. objectives the research was to assess the antibiotic characteristics and incidence of sul3 genes of stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates recovered ...

conclusions the emergence of streptococcus pneumoniae strains with multiple resistance needs permanent monitoring of antibiotic susceptibility patterns of clinical isolates. we have found that ceftazidime is not a suitable drug for choosing the treatment of pneumococcal infections. results the study showed that three strains (6%) and six strains (12%) indicated intermediate resistance and compl...

pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important pathogens that causes nosocomial infections and shows high level of antibiotic resistance. integrons are one of the transposable elements in bacteria and their role in antibiotic resistance has been well demonstrated. the aim of this study was a molecular characterization of the integron genes and the determination of the resistance or sensiti...

 The present study was aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in Vibrios spp. isolated from seafood. A total of 72 isolates of Vibrio in 6 species including V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. alginolyticus, V. harveyi, V. mimicus and V. cholerae were examined. The results revealed that all isolates were expressing multiple antibiotic r...

Background and Aims: The indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The presence of integrons in Pseudomonas is clearly associated with multidrug resistances. Therefore, this study aimed at tracking class I, II and III integrons of antibiotic-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa th...
