background and objectives: the appearance of antibiotic resistance in streptococcus pneumoniae has raised a global concern over the past three decades. this study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of s. pneumoniae isolated from patients in children´s medical center (cmc) hospital during 2001 to 2011. materials and methods: during the 11 years period, a total of 194 s. ...

the aim of this study was to determine the resistance rates of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) to various antimicrobial agents. the agar disk diffusion method (kirby bauer) was used to determine the sensitivity of h. pylori isolates to various antimicrobials. of the 61 h. pylori isolatestested, no isolates was resistant to amoxycillin and tetracycline. the resistance rates were 42.6% for metron...

results the results showed that the isolated e. coli strains were sensitive to these antibiotics: erythromycin (52.94%), tetracycline (76.47%), ceftazidime (41.17%), cefixime (35.29%), penicillin (76.47%), ampicillin (58.82%) and nalidixic acid (41.17%). examination of the herbal extracts showed that the highest maximum inhibitory concentration (mic) against drug resistant e. coli was 200 ppm. ...

the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa has complicated treatment decision and may lead to treatment failures. in this study, we describe the trends of drug-resistant p. aeruginosa isolated in blood cultures from patients detected in a tertiary teaching hospital and evaluated the prevalence of resistance to amikacin, ampicillin, carbeni- cillin, cefixime, cefotax...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to global public health and challenge in treating infectious diseases. This has resulted shift of research attention natural substances such as medicinal plants that could be source developing novel drugs. Combretum dolichopetalum been reported have antidiarrhoeal effects rats. In this study, the antibacterial potential different concentrations methano...
