salmonella enterica serotypes are one of the most important food borne pathogens and significant public health concerns around the world in humans and other animal species. a total of eighty three epidemiologically unrelated clinical isolates of salmonella enterica serovars were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. eleven isolates (13.1%) which were resistant to at least 4 groups ...

Background: Treatment of chronic sinusitis is complicated due to increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of this study was to determine the multidrug resistance (MDR) pattern of the bacteria causing chronic sinusitis in north of Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on patients with chronic sinusitis. Bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was determi...

patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, a total of 250 isolates (134 e. coli and 116 k. pneumoniae) were collected and antimicrobial resistances to ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, amikacin, gentamycin, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin and imipenem were evaluated by disc diffusion method and confirmed by e-test. moreover, risk factors for mdr e. coli and k. pneumoniae...

background: treatment of chronic sinusitis is complicated due to increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. the aim of this study was to determine the multidrug resistance (mdr) pattern of the bacteria causing chronic sinusitis in north of iran. methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out on patients with chronic sinusitis. bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was determined...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most prevalent hematologic malignancies in children. Although the cure rate of ALL has improved over the past decades, the most important reason for ALL treatment failure is multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon. The current study aims to explain the mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance of childhood ALL, and introduces ATP-binding cassette...

The quantity of seafood imported and produced by domestic aquaculture farming has increased. Recently, it been reported that multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella Typhimurium may be associated with seafood. However, information is limited to the antimicrobial resistance, virulence properties, genetic diversity S. recovered from This study investigated isolated catfish, shrimp, tilapia. A total 1...

BACKGROUND/AIM Altered redox status has been reported to play a significant role in the development of multidrug resistance (MDR) in leukemia cells. Human biliverdin reductase (hBVR) has been recently identified as a major cytoprotectant; however, its role in MDR has not been yet investigated. In the present study we evaluated the possible role of hBVR in MDR development in the human HL60 leuke...

Clinical strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia are often highly resistant to multiple antibiotics, although the mechanisms of resistance are generally poorly understood. Multidrug resistant (MDR) strains were readily selected by plating a sensitive reference strain of the organism individually onto a variety of antibiotics, including tetracycline, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, and norfloxac...
