conclusions the population structure of the a. baumannii isolates in our hospitals was genetically diverse. a significant association between xdr pattern and presence of class 1 integron (p < 0.001) was found indicating that many antibiotic resistance determinants are involved in development of xdr strains. materials and methods during a three-year study, clinical isolates of a. baumannii were ...

conclusions the present study showed a high prevalence of aminoglycoside-resistance genes among mrsa isolates in two cities in iran. results the results of drug susceptibility testing showed that the highest rate of resistance was against erythromycin in tehran (84.4%) and gentamicin (71.7%) in sari. all isolates were sensitive to vancomycin, and all strains harbored the meca gene. the aac (6’)...

INTRODUCTION Tuberculosis is the most widespread infectious disease in Nepal and poses a serious threat to the health and development of the country. Incidences of drug resistant tuberculosis in Nepal are increasing and this tuberculosis a major threat to successfully controlling tuberculosis. OBJECTIVE The general objective of the study was to assess the risk factors of multi-drug resistant ...

Background: Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) is one of the major public health issues globally. Zambia highly burdened by TB and multi-drug resistant TB. In this study, sputum samples obtained from new previously treated cases were examined for drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Methods: Sputum specimens processed using N-acetyl-L-cysteine-sodium hydroxide method, stained fluor...

Staphylococcus epidermidis which exists in healthy human skin as a commensal inhabitant is also an important pathogen forming biofilms on many surfaces and recently, increased resistance traits were suggested to be acquired in biofilm environments. In this study; clinical Prevalences, antibiotic resistances and biofilm formations of S. epidermidis strains were determined and comparison of all t...

AIM The aim of this study was to establish drug-resistant cell lines and to elucidate mechanisms leading to multi-drug resistance in gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five cancer cell lines resistant to 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, or gemcitabine, were respectively established from a parent gastric cancer cell line, OCUM-2M, by stepwise exposure to each chemotherap...

The aim of the present study was to understand seasonal occurrence and diversity species meropenem-resistant bacteria in Gumuncheon river receiving effluents from a pharmaceutical industry Seoul, Korea.Water samples were collected Kyoung-gi province during winter (January), spring (April), summer (August), fall (November) 2018. Water plated triplicate on tryptic soy agar plates containing 16 mg...

The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) are major public health issues worldwide. objective this study is to evaluate the microbiological efficacy tigecycline against multi-drug-resistant explore its potential place in clinical practice. A retrospective was carried out over 7 years, from January 2015 December 2021, at Avicenne Military Hospital. Were collected all bacteri...
