conclusions methicillin resistance is a specialized concern in clinical studies, and it is mandatory to detect this mechanism by an accurate method that is updated periodically. increasing the resistance of s. aureus to multiple antibiotics underlines the need for intermittent resistance surveillance. results methicillin resistance was detected in 38% of s. aureus isolates, confirmed by the aga...

background and objective: reports on mrsa strains are increasing worldwide. the aim of this study was to find the prevalence of mrsa strains isolated from clinical specimens and to evaluate their resistance profile. additionally we compared the phenotypic and genotypic methods for detection of methicillin resistance. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, a total of 41 isolates o...

discussion our results indicated that agar screening was superior to oxacillin disk agar diffusion. a comparison between the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the mrcns and the methicillin-susceptible coagulase-negative staphylococci (mscns) showed that the mrcns were predominantly multiple-drug resistant isolates as the simultaneous resistance rate to 4 or more antibiotics in the mrcns and ms...

background and objectives: taking into account a few principles concerning human being, it becomes plausible that the human spirit would also have a similar reaction to spiritual “medicine” provided to it. in order to better understand how this is possible, we must consider the means by which the human spirit becomes resistant to spiritual remedies and compare them with the resistance developed...

pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of bum infections, and antibiotic- resistant strains of this bacterium are emerging due to extensive application of antibiotics in the bum unit of hospitals. in this study 50 strains of p. aeruginosa were isolated from bum patients infected with this micro-organism in the bum unit of a general hospital in kerman, iran over one year [may 1999-aprii2000]....

introduction: the use of exercise along with herbal supplements is one of the recommended methods for controlling obesity and its complications, but its effects have been controversial due to the diversity of training programs and also herbal supplements. hence, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 10 week ginger and progressive resistance training on c-reactive protein...

the present study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance pattern of escherichia coli strains isolatedfrom animals to ascertain the levels of antibiotic resistance pervasiveness. a total of 28 e. coli strains wereisolated from faecal samples and the antibiotic resistance pattern of e. coli strains was determined by meansof disc diffusion assay. the resistance pattern determined for all stra...

let $g$ be a connected graph with vertex set $v(g)$‎. ‎the‎ ‎degree resistance distance of $g$ is defined as $d_r(g) = sum_{{u‎,‎v} subseteq v(g)} [d(u)+d(v)] r(u,v)$‎, ‎where $d(u)$ is the degree‎ ‎of vertex $u$‎, ‎and $r(u,v)$ denotes the resistance distance between‎ ‎$u$ and $v$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we characterize $n$-vertex unicyclic‎ ‎graphs having minimum and second minimum degree resista...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of endurance (et), resistance (rt) and concurrent training (ct) on plasma levels of visfatin, insulin, glucose and insulin resistance of non-athlete men with obesity. it was a semi-experimental study. thirty six men [age: 21.48 (0.25), and bf%: 27.39 (0.52)], voluntarily participated in this study after public announcement in univer...
