Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unknown etiology. There is evidence that bacteria may contribute to initiating the inflammatory response in HS patients. To date, data on bacteria found in HS lesions and their resistance rates are rare. Methods: The results of bacterial cultures and antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated bacteria obtained fr...

pancreatic cancer (pc) is a progressive, fatal disease with a high degree of malignancy. more than 40000 peoplediefrom this cancer annually in the united states. as a multifactorial condition, pc has a complex nature, and there are several genes and signalingpathwaysimplicated in pc pathogenesis and progression. there are diffèrent mutations in master genesincludingtumorsuppressors and oncogene...

background and objectives: the emergence and spread of multidrug resistant (mdr) and extended spectrum β-lactamase (esbl) producing strains reduces the number of effective drugs that can be used for treatment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility profile of enterobacteriaceae isolated from utis, specifically mdr and esbl producing strains, to fosfomycin and other antibiotics...

Peritonitis and exit-site infections are important complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients that are occasionally caused by opportunistic fungi inhabiting distant body sites. In this study, the oral yeast colonization of PD patients and the antifungal susceptibility profile of the isolated yeasts were accessed and correlated with fungal infection episodes in the following 4 years. Sal...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of 35 resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates to a quaternary ammonium hospital disinfectant. The methodology was the AOAC Use-Dilution Test, with disinfectant at its use-concentration. In addition, the chromosomal DNA profile of the isolates were determined by macro-restriction pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) method ai...
