conclusions our results indicate that acetylation genes have an important role in aminoglycoside resistance of the enterococcus isolates from clinical samples. moreover, salmonella strains indicate very low level of aminoglycoside resistance, and aminoglycoside resistance genes were not found in salmonella isolates. these results indicate that other resistance mechanisms, including efflux pumps...

background systemic candidiasis is a major public health concern. in particular, in immunocompromised people, such as patients with neutropenia, patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids) and cancer who are undergoing antiballistic chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants, and people with diabetes. since the clinical signs and symptoms are nonspecific, early diagnosis is often diff...

ACTA DERMATOVENEROLOGICA CROATICA The Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma (BCC), has a variable prevalence, estimated from 1/57,000 to 1:256,000 inhabitants (1). It is a rare autosomal dominant disorder due to a genetic mutation in the PTCH tumor suppressor gene localized to 9q22.3 chromosome (2). In order to make a diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, some diagnosti...

conclusions it seems that besides the variety and prevalence of blatem and blactx, enormous mechanisms such as porin and leaking systems (efflux pumps) are responsible for the information of the a. baumannii resistance to disinfectants. the study on an accurate consideration of the resistance in strains and other microorganisms is advised. results in the current study, 131 a. baumannii isolates...

in spite of their key role in various immunological processes occurring in the endometrium, t cells- especially + subtype- residing in this mucosal tissue, have not been extensively explored. we present here the profile of expressed genes for variable region of chain of t cell receptor (tcr) in normal endometrium as compared to peripheral blood. samples from endometrium were taken from norm...

blast (magnaporthe grisea) is the most important disease of rice in mazandaran province, north of iran, which causes severe damages annually on susceptible cultivars. tarom mahalli is a local aromatic cultivar with high cooking quality and marketability, but very susceptible to blast. to protect this cultivar and similar susceptible cultivars against rice blast, farmers have to use high amounts...

background: the purpose of this study was to describe the association of mthfr gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (c677t and a1298c) and maternal supplementary folate intake with orofacial clefts in the iranian population. methods: in this case-control study, peripheral venous blood was taken from 65 patients with orofacial clefts and 215 unaffected controls for dna extraction and kept in edt...

this study aims at molecular identification of salmonella infantis isolated from backyard chickens and the detection of their antibiotic resistance genes. a total of 46 salmonella-suspected samples isolated from backyard chickens of northern iran were collected. serotyping was done by the traditional method and then confirmed by pcr. antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates against 13 antim...
