This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of the crude ethanol extract and fractions from Eugenia uniflora L. leaves against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A total of 72 P. aeruginosa isolated from patients of three hospitals in Goiânia and 8 standard strains were selected to test antimicrobial activity. The bacteria susceptibility profile against 15 antimicrobial agents was determined using the...

conclusions according to these findings, antibiotic-resistance patterns have changed, and vancomycin resistance, especially among e. faecium, is rising because of nosocomial infections. consequently, it has become a serious subject for patients admitted into a hospital. results a total of 53 enterococci were isolated from clinical samples of blood, urine, wounds, sputum, and cerebrospinal fluid...

trichomoniasis is a worldwide infection and due to its complications rapid and accurate diagnosis of infection especially in pregnant women is very important. in this study, development of a latex agglutination test using native antigens for rapid diagnosis of trichomoniasis is investigated. trichomonas vaginalis was harvested from tyis33 culture medium and anti trichomonas vaginalis antiserum ...

background and objectives:infection of pleural fluid is a common disease and because of antibiotic administration, the microbiology of this fluid has changed. the aim of this study was to determine the common bacteria and suitable antibiotics for treatment in pleural effusion (pe). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 1210 samples with exudative features were cultured for poss...

background: resistance patterns among nosocomial bacterial pathogens in hospitals may vary widely from country to coun­try at any given point and within the same country over time. acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important bacte­rium causes hospital acquired infections. therefore, surveillance of antibiotic resistance of a. baumannii is necessary, espe­cially in our country which the...

background and objectives: presence of methicillin and multidrug resistance has associated coagulase negative staphylococci (cns) with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. the present study was carried out to study the susceptibility pattern of cns to various antimicrobial agents and to determine the prevalence of cns methicillin resistance in our hospital setting. materials and methods: a t...

abstract e.coli is known one of the most important bacteria as it causes some problems such as urinary tract and noncosomial. in this study, the antimicrobial susceptibility of e.coli in the urine culture in the west of mazandaran province was determined. for this descriptive study, a total of 357 urine samples were collected over a 12 month period. then all specimens included in this study wer...

For rapid results, we adapted the CarbaNP test by using 5-hour-old cultures; the sensitivity and specificity for detection of carbapenemase production were 100% for non-OXA-producing organisms. The sensitivity from early cultures was 94% for detection of carbapenemase production in Enterobacteriaceae strains. Utilizing younger cultures allows the test to be incorporated into a single day's work...

conclusions p. spinosa ethanol extract can be used as a mouthwash for treatment of the oral infections. more clinical and toxicological studies are required for providing its efficacy. results p. spinosa ethanol extract with higher-level phenolic and flavonoid contents showed the highest antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, in comparison with the other extracts. bacillus sp. and streptococcus...
