Objective: Antibiotic resistant to Antimicrobial agent is one of the most important concern in hospitals, which can cause lots of costs, treatment fails and mortality rates. Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen notorious for causing serious nosocomial infections that resist antibiotic therapy. The purpose of current study was to define the evolution of antimicrobial imp...

The purpose of this study was to examine the evolution of antimicrobial activity of flower extract of Hibiscus sabdariffal against antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus that isolates from the urinary tract infection by microtiterplate method. All 42 strains 30 E.coli and 12 S. aureus isolated from urine culture of hospitaliz...

Antibiotics may impair hematopoietic recovery after cytotoxic myeloablation Patients recovering from myelotoxic chemotherapy require antibiotic treatment to prevent infectious complications, because of their immunocompromised status. Antibiotics such as doxycylin and tetracyclin are known to inhibit matrix metallopro-teinases (MMPs) including MMP-9. 1-3 Recent studies revealed that hematopoieti...

INTRODUCTION:- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a well-recognized public health problem throughout the world and community MRSA strains are now epidemic in India others countries. The resistance rates of S. infection multidrug resistant increasing, making clinical anti-infective treatment diagnosis more difficult.
 AIM:- To evaluate several phenotypic methods antibioti...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), is the major known infectious cause of gastric diseases in children and adults. The rate of antibiotic resistance to H. pylori treatment regimens has rapidly increased. We aimed to determine the sensitivity of helicobacter pylori in gastric tissue samples of children and adolescents to various antibiotics in Isfahan, Center of Iran. Materials and Met...
