OBJECTIVES Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic widely prescribed in clinical and hospital settings. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance against effective antibiotics is a global issue. The objective of study is the surveillance of ciprofloxacin against common pathogens. METHODS To investigate the present status of antimicrobial resistance against ciprofloxacin, five hundred and...

The aim of the present study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of bacterial foodborne pathogens and to know the suitable antibiotic in controlling of foodborne pathogens. Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas Sps were tested with twelve antibiotics by disc diffusion method. Among all antibiotic streptomycin, cefpodoxeme...

s: Background: Multidrug-resistant Enterococci are major problem and are increasingly reported worldwide. Enterococcal infections have been associated with higher hospitalization costs and a higher number of related deaths. Treatment of multidrug-resistant enterococci has become a challenge in hospitals around the world due to the lack of reliable therapeutic options. So the present study was u...

conclusions with regards to the continuous changing in causative microorganisms isolated from patients with uti and antibiotic sensitivity patterns, it is recommended that bacterial sensitivity patterns in populations are determined in any region annually. . objectives this study aimed to detect and also compare the frequency and drug resistance pattern of gram negative bacteria isolated from p...

Background and Objective: A large group of genes associated with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC expression is involved in inducing antibiotic resistance in various bacteria. Identifying these genes and assessing their harboring will be crucial in determining the pattern of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to characterize genetic variants in extended-spectrum beta-lacta...

The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between genotypic and phenotypic drug resistance profiles of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains isolated from patients during double-analogue nucleoside therapy. A drug-resistant HIV strain was isolated from 20 out of 25 patients, with 16 (64%) subjects carrying a virus with multiple drug resistance mutations. The most freque...

background and objectives: accurate designation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the infecting microorganisms is an important crucial factor in making appropriate therapeutic decisions. macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin b antibiotics are in a family, reserved as an alternative approach in treatment of resistant gram positive cocci. amongst them, clindamycin has been considered ...

Purpose: Urinary tract infection is acommon infectious presentation in the community practice.It is also the most common cause of antimicrobial resistance in the society. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequencyand antimicrobial resistance pattern of the uropathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on the pati...
