BACKGROUND Treatment of chronic sinusitis is complicated due to increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of this study was to determine the multidrug resistance (MDR) pattern of the bacteria causing chronic sinusitis in north of Iran. METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out on patients with chronic sinusitis. Bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was determined...

conclusions although very rare, mdr miliary tb can be seen in immunocompetent subjects. we, thereby, emphasize that early recognition and initiation of treatment are associated with a significant improvement in outcomes. tuberculosis remains a serious worldwide health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. case presentation our case was a young female patient with in vitro fertil...

nowadays the most difficult problem in treatment of bacterial infections is the appearance of resistant bacteria to the antimicrobial agents so that the attention is being drawn to other potential targets. in view of the positive findings of phage therapy, many advantages have been mentioned which utilizes phage therapy over chemotherapy and it seems to be a promising agent to replace the antib...

This study aimed to test multidrug resistant isolates from hospitalised green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their environment in North Queensland, Australia, for in vitro susceptibility to bacteriophages. Seventy-one Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from green turtle eye swabs and water samples. Broth microdilution tests were used to determine antibiotic susceptibility. All isolates were res...

Multidrug resistance is a condition enabling disease causing microorganism to resist distinct drugs or chemical of wide variety structure and function targeted at eradicating the bacteria. Microorganisms that display multidrug resistant can be pathogenic cells. In this study, table eggs are used commonly, because it considered most nutritious economical source protein part healthy diet. However...

conclusions in the present study, we found a high prevalence of mrsa at the hospitals studied. the findings emphasized the increased prevalence of mrsa isolates containing different toxin and adhesion genes, probably accompanied by antimicrobial resistance. infection with such isolates worsens the clinical outcomes as well as the morbidity and mortality rates in hospitalized patients in icus. m...

OBJECTIVE To compare cutaneous and nasal population levels between patients colonized and infected by multidrug-resistant organisms in two intensive care units. METHODS A prospective cohort study was performed in adult intensive care units of two hospitals in Belo Horizonte, Brazil (April 2012 to February 2013). Clinical and demographic data were first collected by reviewing patients' charts....

Multidrug-resistant bacteria continue to pose the greatest threat public health. Metallic nanoparticles are one of more promising strategies for combating antibiotic resistance. This research aims determine effect gold and silver gold-silver alloy as antibacterial agents. On other hand, biogenic synthesized using Ziziphus spina-christi leaf extract preparation treatment multidrug-resistant were...
