pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the most important pathogens in the nosocomial infections. a genetic mobile element, the integron, is one of the major agents involved in dissemination of multi-drug resistance among gram negative bacteria. during a descriptive study from october 2009 to august 2010, some 130 p. aeruginosa clinical isolates were collected from different wards of three hospitals i...

in this paper, synthesized (raw) multi-walled carbon nanotube (rmwcnts) surfaces were modified with chitosan and β-cyclodextrin using chen’s soft cutting technique. raw and surface modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes were observed by transmission electron microscope (tem). the results showed that chitosan and β-cyclodextrin could attach to the outer surface of nanotubes, wrapping the nanotub...
