Background and Objective: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the probiotic yeasts that has positive effects on health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the important opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supernatant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on preventing the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its effect on exotoxin S gene expression by ...

Background & Objective: Common antibiotics may be useless against multiple pathogens because of the multidrug resistance. Therefore, new ways of nanotechnology and effective herbal combination can be the solution for this problem. The objective of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial effect of Allicin, silver nano particles and their combination against skin infection due to Pseud...

Background & Aim: Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that were resistance to majority of commonly used antibiotics were caused problem in treatment of these infections. Imipenem is the excessive potential antibiotic for elimination of antibiotic resistance isolates of these bacteria. Aim of this study was, identification of imipenem effect on TEM beta-lactamase gene expression in resistant to antib...

Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen causing nosocomial burn infections. Disease results from the production of numerous virulence factors, some of which are injected directly into the eukaryotic host cells via the type III secretion system (T3SS).The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of cytotoxins encoding exoT, exoY, exoS and exoU genes...

Background and Objective: According to definition of probiotics by WHO/FAO that is “Live microorganisms which, when present in sufficient amount, confer beneficial effects to the host”. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the first non-pathogenic yeast which is known as a probiotic for humans that its helpful effects for humankind has been proved. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most ...

Abstract Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common organism, which is separated from the burn infections.  Due to increased antibiotic resistance, there are many problems to deal with the infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study aimed to determine the resistance to antibiotics against clinical isolates of Pseudomonas using phenotype me...

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative pathogens opportunism which causes severe infections in human beings. The most common infection include: endocarditis, meningitis, septicemia and chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis pa-tients. This bacterium has many pathogenic factors including exotoxin A, lipopoly-sacharide, phospholipase C, pili, elastase and alkaline protease. The...
