Enterobacteriaceae spp. are an important part of agents that cause infection in health care facilities.Due to Importance of monitoring and management of drug resistance in health care facilities, especially for preventing of dissemination of new resistances such as KPC producing enterobacteriaceae, in this study KPC producer Enterobacteriaceae in hospital departments detected and antibiotic res...

INTRODUCTION Carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae, especially in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, is an emerging problem worldwide. A common mechanism of carbapenem resistance is the production of class-A, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The present study focused on determining the antibiotic resistance pattern and prevalence of bla KPC gene...

background: toxoplasma gondii infection is widely prevalent in many species of warm-blooded animals including human. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of antibodies to t. gondii from slaughtered sleep and goats by mod­ified agglutination test (mat) in kerman region , southeastern iran. methods : altogether 1340 blood samples were collected from 562 sheep and 778 goats from a...

INTRODUCTION Acinetobacter spp. have emerged as notorious pathogens involved in healthcare-associated infections. Carbapenems are important antimicrobial agents for treating infections due to multidrug resistant Acinetobacter spp. Different mechanisms may confer resistance to these drugs in the genus, particularly production of class D carbapenemases. OXA-23-like family has been pointed out as ...

BACKGROUND Carbapenems are among the few useful antibiotics against multidrug resistant gram negative bacteria particularly those with extended spectrum beta lactamase. However resistance to carbapenems occurs and is mediated by mechanisms like loss of outer membrane proteins and production of beta lactamase that is capable of hydrolyzing carbapenems. An alert issued in the UK in 2009 warned of...

BACKGROUND Resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is widespread among Acinetobacter strains. Plasmid-mediated metallo beta lactamases (MBL) are responsible for carbapenem resistance, as are oxacillinases (OXA). In recent years, MBL producing carbapenem-resistant strains have been reported in the world and in Turkey in increasing rates. In our country, besides the OXA 51-like enzyme which is inhe...

from Iranian patients and the MHT test does not have a high sensitivity for BlaKPC identification in Iran and other countries unless it is confirmed by molecular methods. The Gram-negative bacilli such as Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are the most important bacteria in nosocomial infection (13). To date, these bacteria are almost multidrug resistant (MDR...
