background assessment of resistance genes is imperative, as they become disseminated to bacterial flora in plants and to the indigenous bacterial community, and thus ultimately contributes to the clinical problems of antibiotic resistant pathogens. objectives the research was to assess the antibiotic characteristics and incidence of sul3 genes of stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates recovered ...

background: increasing resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin in icu/burn units has created a problem in the treatment of infections caused by this microorganism. methods: fifty p. aeruginosa strains were isolated from burn patients hospitalized in the kerman hospital during may 1999-april 2000 and were tested for in-vitro sensitivity to different antibiotics by disc diffusion br...

in the present study resistance of some elite lines of wheat at seedling stage were evaluated in cereal rusts greenhouse at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj and at adult plant stage in ahvaz under artificial inoculation with an isolate of leaf rust from ahvaz. for seedling resistance, different components of resistance were measured. the results showed that lines m-85-1, m-86-1 and...

Background Resistant Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC), is the most prevalent source of diarrhea in pediatrics. This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial resistance properties of STEC strains of diabetic and non-diabetic pediatrics with diarrhea. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study conducted from December 2014 to September 2015 in an educational hospital, ...

background: nosocomial infections are an important cause of hospital mortalities. staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) carriers among medical staff are an important source of nosocomial infections. the purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the nasal carriers of s. aureus and antibiotic resistance in staff of nikuee hospital, qom, iran. materials and methods: in this cross-sect...

background plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes (pmqr) have been shown to play not only an important role in quinolone resistance, but also resistance to other antibiotics, particularly β-lactams and aminoglycosides. these genes are mainly associated with clinical isolates of enterobacteriaceae. however, detection of pmqr genes in the community isolates can increase the dissemination rat...
