background: coagulase negative staphylococci (cons) are one of the most common bacteria found on human skin and on mucous membranes as a component of normal flora. the presence of cons in clinical specimens is frequently associated with an infectious aetiology or contamination. objectives: we aimed to evaluate cons species distribution and susceptibility patterns in specimens obtained from clin...

objectives the study was carried out in a tertiary care center in tehran, iran to identify the frequency of hospital acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (ha-mrsa ) colonization and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern and molecular characteristics. patients and methods this point-prevalence study was performed on 631 children who were admitted for at least 48 hours in differen...

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern and Mutations of Outer Membrane Porin in Clinical Isolates Klebsiella pneumoniae

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...

     Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial pathogen that causes different community- and hospital-acquired infections. Over time, strains of S. aureus have become resistant to different antibiotics including penicillinase-resistant penicillins. Having data on the local antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of this pathogen is necessary for selection of appropriate...

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 ...
