background extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze antibiotics, including those containing new cephalosporins, and they are found in a significant percentage of escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae strains. with the widespread use of antibiotics, difficulties with infection therapy caused by drug resistant organisms, especially those that have acqui...

Incidences of leukopenia caused by bacteremia have increased significantly and it is associated with prolonged hospital stay and increased cost. Immunoproteomic is a promising method to identify pathogenicity factors of different diseases. In the present study, we used immunoproteomic to analysis the pathogenicity factors in leukopenia caused by Klebsiella Pneumonia bacteremia. Approximately 40...

Fatal bacteremic Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia is commonly encountered in alcoholic and diabetic patients. This report describes a previously healthy young man with rapidly fatal bacteremic pneumonia caused by K. pneumoniae serotype K1, complicated by septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction.

objective(s) production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) by enteric bacteria continues to be a major problem in hospitals and community. esbls producing bacteria cause many serious infections including urinary tract infections, peritonitis, cholangitis and intra-abdominal abscess. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of esbls producing escherichia coli and klebsiell...

background research to understand and control the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance has become a public health priority. objectives this study was conducted to study epidemiology and resistant pattern of bacteria causing infection in different king khalid hospital units. patients and methods all samples were sent to the lab and routinely processed according to the standard microb...

LPS-binding protein (LBP) can facilitate the transfer of cell wall components of both Gram-negative bacteria (LPS) and Gram-positive bacteria (lipoteichoic acid) to inflammatory cells. Although LBP is predominantly produced in the liver, recent studies have indicated that this protein is also synthesized locally in the lung by epithelial cells. To determine the role of LBP in the immune respons...

Plants extracts has been used in traditional medicine for many years. The use of them has the least side effects in comprison to the synthetic drugs. The aim of this study was investigation and comparision of biological active components of Quercus persica and Quercus ilex. Sampling was done from Quercus persica and Quercus ilex stands. The antibacterial activity was assayed against Psuodomonas...

The implementation of infection models that approximate human disease is essential for understanding pathogenesis at the molecular level and for testing new therapies before they are entered into clinical stages. Insects are increasingly being used as surrogate hosts because they share, with mammals, essential aspects of the innate immune response to infections. We examined whether the larva of...
