Resistance to oxyimino cephalosporins antibiotics in Enterobacteriaceae is primarily done by the extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Clear identification of risk factors for ESBL-producing infections is necessary. Therefore, efficient strategies can be developed to decrease outbreak of these infections. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial susceptibility and ESBLs patter...

Background: Infections are one of the most important causes of death in infants, especially in developing countries. Inappropriate use and administration of antibiotics can contribute to the resistance and spread of infection. In this study, we determined the antibiotic resistance pattern of the bacteria isolated from clinical samples of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine in the neonatal int...

The major ingredient of Cinnamomum, which is cinnamic aldehyde, has a variety of uses, such as aromatic compound, beverage, chewing gum, toothpaste, and incense as a component of cosmetics, and halitosis remover. Cinnamic aldehyde is also known to have a remedial effect. In this study, Cinnamomum is used to look for antibacterial activity on oral bacteria. A disk diffusion method is used as the...

materials and methods one hundred ssis specimens were obtained by needle aspiration from purulent material in depth of infected site. these specimens were cultured and incubated in both aerobic and anaerobic condition. for detection of antibiotic susceptibility pattern in aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, we used disk diffusion, agar dilution, and e-test methods. results a total of 194 bacterial ...

background: nosocomial infections are one of the most important medical problems in developed and under developing countries which cause the spread of infections diseases in society. pseudomonas aeroginosa is one of the most important causes of hospital infections, especially in wounds from operated patients. increase in antibiotic-resistance of pseudomonas aeroginosa cause a lot of problems fo...

BACKGROUND Multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria have become a major concern in hospitals worldwide and urgently require the development of new antibacterial molecules. Peptide deformylase is an intracellular target now well-recognized for the design of new antibiotics. The bacterial susceptibility to such a cytoplasmic target primarily depends on the capacity of the compound to reach and accumul...

the colicine types, biotypes and resistance pattern to antibacterial drugs of 154 strains of shigella sonnei isolated in two different geographical areas of iran, are presented. while a difference in the predominant biotype was observed in the two areas, the resistance pattern and the colicine types were found to be almost identical.

BACKGROUND The recent report of high numbers of Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infections among service members injured in Iraq and Afghanistan during the period January 2002 through August 2004 has prompted an investigation into their etiology. A review of the current guidelines for open combat casualty wounds as part of this broad investigation was not mentioned in the report. OBJECTIV...
