The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of anti-microbial resistance in intubated patients in intensive care unit (ICU) of Bahonar hospital in Kerman province, Iran during the year 2008. Tracheal samples were obtained from 111 intubated patients in the ICU by broncoalveolar lavage method. Amikacin, Ceftazidim and Imipenem were used to evaluate antibiotic susceptibility. For ...

b ackground: the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among extended spectrum  β-lactamase  (esbl)  producing  escherichia  coli  and  klebsiella  pneumoniae  has been increased  markedly  in recent  years. the present study was done to know the prevalence  of esbl production among isolates of e. coli and k. pneumoniae and to study the susceptibility pattern of isolates against different antibio...

background: drug resistance is widely believed to be an increasingly serious threat to global public health. we have previously reported that short term exposure of microorganisms to diagnostic ultrasound waves could significantly alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. in our previous studies, klebsiella pneumoniae showed major differences in the sensitivity to antibiotics in exposed and non-e...

introduction: increasing microbial resistance to antibiotic medications are a common phenomenon in developing countries and development country. in this study, administration of correct, incorrect and inappropriate antibiotic in children under 7 years of age with gastroenteritis in the pediatric ward of imam reza (as) in the years 2012-2013 was performed bojnurd-iran. materials and methods: thi...

Objective(s):Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by bacteria is one of the most frequent infections in human population. Inappropriate use of antibiotics, often leads to appearance of drug resistance in bacteria. However, use of probiotic bacteria has been suggested as a partial replacement. This study was aimed to assess the antagonistic effects of Lactobacillus standard strains against bacte...
