conclusions vancomycin, but not teicoplanin, can be considered an effective antibiotic of choice for controlling infections caused by mdr cons in gorgan, depending on the bacterial species. background coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons) are clinically important, especially in nosocomial and neonatal infections. the increasing emergence of glycopeptide-resistant cons has made these agents th...

there are increasing reports of emergence of multiple drug resistant (mdr) acinetobacter spp in the world; however there are a few reports in our country. 145 a. baumannii isolates from distinct wards and children's medical center (cmc) in tehran were studied in order to find the profile of antibiotic resistance among them. 40.6% (59/145) of a. baumannii isolates were identified as mdr. overall...

abstract—today, botnets have become a serious threat to enterprise networks. by creation of network of bots, they launch several attacks, distributed denial of service attacks (ddos) on networks is a sample of such attacks. such attacks with the occupation of system resources, have proven to be an effective method of denying network services. botnets that launch http packet flood attacks agains...

E.coli is one of the serious pathogen that can cause tremendous therapeutic problem by developing resistance against antibiotics. The drug resistance in bacterial population is may be due to a genetic and non genetic mechanism (Choudhary 1988). Regarding genetic mechanism most drug resistant microbes emerged as a result of genetic changes and subsequent processes by antimicrobial drugs. The dru...

conclusion prevalence of p. aeruginosa producing esbl and mdr strains from our clinical samples and environment is still low. results the highest resistance rates from the isolated p. aeruginosa were shown against piperacillin, imipenem, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, ceftazidime, aztreonam, and ciprofloxacin, respectively. seven isolates (9.2%) were esbl producers. more than 30% of the i...
