conclusions metronidazole and vancomycin still seem to be most effective drugs for treatment cdi. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of c. difficile clinical isolates against antibiotics commonly used for treatment cdi in hospitalized patients. material and methods during a 12 month study, 75 c. difficile isolates were collected from 39...

conclusion prevalence of p. aeruginosa producing esbl and mdr strains from our clinical samples and environment is still low. results the highest resistance rates from the isolated p. aeruginosa were shown against piperacillin, imipenem, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, ceftazidime, aztreonam, and ciprofloxacin, respectively. seven isolates (9.2%) were esbl producers. more than 30% of the i...

Background & Aims of the Study: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is considered as a major pathogen in public health concern. The objectives of this study were to firstly determine antibiotic sensitivity among Staphylococcus aureus isolated from traditional Iranian white cheese during 2015 from Hamedan province of Iran; and secondly to estimate the presence of ...

results fifty-three (53%) isolates were simultaneously resistant to erythromycin, azithromycin and clarithromycin (cross-resistance); while 8 (8%) isolates had variable macrolide susceptibility pattern. among the s. aureus isolates, the difference in prevalence of resistance to erythromycin between males and females was significant (p = 0.011). the frequency of erma, ermb, ermc, and msra genes ...

Objective: In view of the national key project for infectious diseases “ the retreatment research of tuberculosis”, we determined the in vitro anti-mycobacterial activity of four drugs in the treatment, pasiniazid (Pa), moxifloxacin (Mfx), Rifabutin (Rfb) and rifapentini (Rft) in combination to multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis. Method: Three-dimensio...
