background and objectives: urinary tract infections (uti) are one of the most common infectious diseases with different microbial agent and antimicrobial resistant pattern in hospitalized patients and outpatients. in order to assess the adequacy of therapy, knowledge of prevalence and resistance pattern of the bacteria is necessary. the main aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and ...

Objective(s) Resistance to antimicrobial agents, particularly metronidazole and clarithromycin, is frequently observed in Helicobacter pylori and may be associated with treatment failure. This resistance rate varies according to the population studied. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of antimicrobial resistance of H. pylori isolates from dyspeptic patients in Isfahan. Material...

The in vitro activities of 16 antimicrobial agents against 86 strains of Corynebacterium striatum were evaluated by microdilution using cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. MICs at which 90% of strains were inhibited were 0.06 microgram/ml for teicoplanin, 1 microgram/ml for vancomycin, 0.03 to 8 micrograms/ml for beta-lactams, 8 micrograms/ml for sparfloxacin, 16 micrograms/ml for ciprofloxac...

introduction: stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a nosocomial multi drug resistant opportunistic pathogen which causes infections in vulnerable patients with cancer, cystic fibrosis and indwelling catheters. methods: 45 clinical s. maltophilia isolates were collected from blood samples and identified by biochemical tests. susceptibility to different antibiotics including co-trimoxazole, levofloxac...

Objective(s) Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are capable of producing diseases in humans. Since mycobacteria vary in their susceptibility, precise identification is critical for adoption of correct drug therapy. The main aim of this study was molecular identification and evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Iranian clinically isolated Myocbacterium fortuitum. Materials and...
