conclusions induction of coccoid form of p. aeruginosa may be one of the important reasons for antibiotic treatment failure; therefore, prescribed dose of antibiotics should be carefully managed to prevent increasing antibiotic resistance and coccoid bacteria induction. results all used antibiotics at sub mic concentration had capability to induce coccoid bacteria. the highest rate of induced c...

conclusions the results of this study suggest that e. hebecarpa extracts can be used to inhibit the planktonic and biofilm forms of these selected bacteria. objectives in an effort to combat these industrial and medical bacterial biofilm problems, our study aims to determine the antimicrobial effect of euphorbia hebecarpa. materials and methods the inhibition efficiency of alcoholic extracts on...

background hospital patients who are nasal carriers of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) are a high-risk potential threat to themselves and other hospitalized patients. the high antibiotic resistance of these isolates renders the treatment of related infections difficult. objectives the present study, for the first time investigated the prevalence of mrsa isolates in nasal carr...

conclusions vancomycin, but not teicoplanin, can be considered an effective antibiotic of choice for controlling infections caused by mdr cons in gorgan, depending on the bacterial species. background coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons) are clinically important, especially in nosocomial and neonatal infections. the increasing emergence of glycopeptide-resistant cons has made these agents th...

there are increasing reports of emergence of multiple drug resistant (mdr) acinetobacter spp in the world; however there are a few reports in our country. 145 a. baumannii isolates from distinct wards and children's medical center (cmc) in tehran were studied in order to find the profile of antibiotic resistance among them. 40.6% (59/145) of a. baumannii isolates were identified as mdr. overall...

background and objective: diabetes mellitus is one of the main problems in health systems in the world. diabetic foot infections (dfi) is one of the main complications and the most cause  of non-traumatic lower limb amputation .this study aimed to determine the prevalence of bacteria involved in dfi and their antibiotic resistance in patients with dfi diagnosis. patients and methods: this desc...

The title compound, 1-(3-isoselenocyanatopropyl)adamantane, was synthesized for the first time from 3-(adamantan-1-yl)propan-1-amine by two-stage reaction with 1-(3-isocyanopropyl)adamantane as intermediate. product characterized NMR, GC-MS, and elemental analysis.

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...

micrornas (mirnas) are non-coding small rna molecules with 21–25 nucleotides. it plays significant role in control of gene expression at posttranscriptional/translational level. they are commonly dysregulated in human cancers, whereas they may behave either as oncogenes or as tumor-suppressor genes. both genetic and epigenetic events in deregulation of mirna can lead to cancer development. gene...
