the aim of this study was to isolate, identify and determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of clostridium perfringens (cp) isolates from acute necrotic enteritis of broiler chickens. all broiler carcasses diagnosed as necrotic enteritis (ne) were sampled, subjected to microbial tests and 40 isolates were identified according to standard procedures. the antimicrobial susceptibility of cp isol...

background: coagulase negative staphylococci (cons) are one of the most common bacteria found on human skin and on mucous membranes as a component of normal flora. the presence of cons in clinical specimens is frequently associated with an infectious aetiology or contamination. objectives: we aimed to evaluate cons species distribution and susceptibility patterns in specimens obtained from clin...

the increasing incidence of candidiasis and antifungal resistance as well as the introducing of new antifungal has recently encouraged performing of fungal susceptibility testing. the aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility profile of candida species isolated from patients admitted to yazd central laboratory to fluconazole. we used the broth microdilution method to evaluate the sus...

Background and Aims: Neonatal sepsis is considered a clinical syndrome characterized by signs and symptoms of infection associated with positive blood culture. The present study investigates the rate of sensitivity and resistance to antibiotics in neonates with definite sepsis. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 268 neonates with definitive sepsis (positive bloo...

INTRODUCTION It is assumed that a direct relationship exists between the extent of use of any given antibiotic or antibiotic class and the degree of susceptibility or resistance on the part of various bacteria to that antibiotic or class. METHODS Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility rates and utilization of key antipseudomonal antibiotics in a pediatric hospital, reflected as grams/1,000 pat...

background: to determine the species distribution, updated drug susceptibility patterns and genes conferring resistance in clini­cal vancomycin resistant enterococcal (vre) isolates. methods: clinical enterococcal isolates collected during 7 months, from september 2005 to april 2006 from hos­pitalized pa­tients and outpatients were studied. twenty five vre were isolated from 450 enterococci sam...

  Candida is an asexual, diploid, dimorphic fungus that is present on human body and his environment. Nowadays the number of patients, who are immunocompromised, aged, receiving prolonged antibacterial and aggressive cancer chemotherapy or undergoing invasive surgical procedures and organ transplantation, is on increase, and therefore candidiasis emerged itself as an alarming opportunistic dise...
