conclusions the present study showed a high prevalence of aminoglycoside-resistance genes among mrsa isolates in two cities in iran. results the results of drug susceptibility testing showed that the highest rate of resistance was against erythromycin in tehran (84.4%) and gentamicin (71.7%) in sari. all isolates were sensitive to vancomycin, and all strains harbored the meca gene. the aac (6’)...

AIMS Inflammation in infective endocarditis (IE) is a complex network including interactions of inflammatory cytokines and other components of host response. Certainly, any variation in this network could influence susceptibility or disease progression of IE. In this study, 14 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in genes coding for interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, toll-like receptor...

Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus antigenic subtypes and varieties are considered either epidemic/epizootic or enzootic. In addition to epidemiological differences between the epidemic and enzootic viruses, several in vitro and in vivo laboratory markers distinguishing the viruses have been identified, including differential plaque size, sensitivity to interferon (IFN), and virulence f...

Background:   Primary bone lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma of bone is a rare disease. There are only a few case series of stage IE of this condition in medical literature. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of survival   for stage IE after combined modality treatment, the rate of local recurrence, and the results of limb salvage in cases   of local recurrence.     Methods:   We col...

Objective: Pregnancy and postpartum infective endocarditis (PPIE), although uncommon, is a very serious condition. To describe cases of infectious (IE) in cohort adults with IE Brazilian center to review data from the recent literature on subject. Methods: Cases definite by modified Duke criteria were retrieved contemporary January 2006 December 2020. Literature topic was carried out case repor...
