objective: aminoglycosides are highly potent, broad-spectrum antibiotics with many desirable properties for the treatment of life-threatening infections. escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection (uti). antibiotic resistance has recently become prevalent. enzymatic inactivation of aminoglycosides by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes is the main mechanism of r...

purpose: urinary tract infection is acommon infectious presentation in the community practice.it is also the most common cause of antimicrobial resistance in the society. the aim of this study was to investigate the frequencyand antimicrobial resistance pattern of the uropathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection. materials and methods: this study was conducted on the patient...

background: pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered an opportunistic pathogen; several reports indicate that the organism can also cause infections in healthy hosts. four effector proteins have been described in p. aeruginosa: exou, exos, exot, and exoy. these genes that are translated into protein products related to type iii secretion systems. materials and methods: a total of 134 samples were i...

background: streptococcus agalactiae, also known as group b streptococcus (gbs) is a commensal organism in the urogenital tract and rectum in approximately 25% of the healthy adult female population. the bacterium is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis, pneumonia, and sepsis in human infants. materials and methods: our study was performed over a three - month period from april to june 201...

background: escherichia coli is the most causative agent of urinary tract infections (utis). apart from all human infectious diseases, uti have a high prevalence and in most cases, escherichia coli is a dominance bacterium which can cause pyelonephritis and cystitis. the aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of some virulence genes expressing fimbriae, production of hemolysin and aer...

a total of 385 urine specimens from suspected urinary tract infections were subjected to bacteriological analysis and susceptibility testing at a major university hospital laboratory in tehran. a battery of eight beta-iactam antibiotics, commonly prescribed in iran, and three third-generation cephalosporins (ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and ceftizoxime) that are usually reserved for limited use in ...

Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections of human. The most common agent of urinary tract infection is Escherichia coli . This study aims to determine the prevalence of uropathogenic E. coli urinary infection in human with different antimicrobial resistance, and quantitive and qualitative study of siderophore production and their association with the ability to cau...
