systemic antibiotics and locally applied antimicrobial agents have been suggested to enhance clinical parameters. patients exhibiting aggressive periodontitis in particular benefit from adjunctive antibiotic therapy. the purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of local antibiotic therapy with metronidazole adjunctively to scaling and root planning (srp) in the treatment of aggr...

conclusions fortunately, due to its lower virulence as compared to its cousin s. aureus, pji due to cons may display higher remission rates than s. aureus-caused pji after combined surgical and medical management. results the main differences between the pathogens lie in the clinical presentation of pji, the presumed origin of infection, and the presence of a higher proportion of methicillin-re...

Any pathogen population sufficiently large is expected to harbor spontaneous drug-resistant mutants, often responsible for disease relapse after antibiotic therapy. It is seldom appreciated, however, that while larger populations harbor more mutants, the abundance distribution of these mutants is expected to be markedly uneven. This is because a larger population size allows early mutants to ex...

There is no consensus on the definition of treatment failure. It is usually based on clinical signs, although microbiological and other biological markers may prove of value in the future. The major risk factors associated with treatment failure include an inadequate antimicrobial spectrum of the prescribed antibiotic and lack of, or insufficient, control of the source of the infection. In cert...

in this experiment two hundreds one day old broiler chicks (ross 308) in 5 treatments and 4 replicates were used based a completely randomized design. experimental treatments were: control treatment (basal diet), clove essential oil (ceo) at different levels (100, 300 and 500 mg/kg + basal diet) and 600 mg/kg flavophospholipol antibiotics (fpa) + basal diet. results showed that feed intake was ...

Shigella is a major cause of dysentery across the world. Appropriate antibiotic treatment of shigellosis depends on resistance patterns. The present study was conducted to identify Shigella species and their antibiotic resistance patterns among dysenteric patients in Rezaei Hospital of Damghan. Isolation of Shigella species was conducted by specific culture medium and biochemical tests. The Shi...
