background: acute bacterial meningitis is among serious infections of the central nervous system (cns). the early diagnosis and empiric antibiotic treatments have led to a reduction in morbidity and mortality rates. pcr and the enzymatic digestion of 16s rdna fragment following the pcr by universal primers led up fast and sensitive determination. the aims of the present study was to improve our...

background and objectives:infection of pleural fluid is a common disease and because of antibiotic administration, the microbiology of this fluid has changed. the aim of this study was to determine the common bacteria and suitable antibiotics for treatment in pleural effusion (pe). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 1210 samples with exudative features were cultured for poss...

objective: this study was undertaken with an aim to determine bacterial species involved in post partum infections and also their abundance in patients admitted to at khanevadeh hospital. in this study out of three different kinds of postpartum infections (i.e. genital, breast and urinary tract), only genital infection is considered. materials and methods:  post partum infection among 6077 pati...

conclusions this study indicated a high percentage of cysts bacterial infections in two provinces of iran. the common isolated bacteria were e. coli and klebsiella. the isolated bacteria degenerated the protoscoleces during short-time incubation, in vitro. results infected cysts were found in 74% of animals in hamedan (46% were calcified and the bacteria was isolated from 52%) and 62% in boruje...

conclusions the results showed that p. americana is a possible reservoir and potential vector of some pathogenic agents. results one hundred percent of cockroaches had bacterial infections. culturing of the external parts wash homogenates resulted in the isolation of escherichia coli, proteus, serratia, klebsiella, enterobacter, pseudomonas, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, enterococcus, c...

conclusions mobiles contamination with different pathogens is extremely common among our health care staffs compared with other societies, and resistance of these isolates to various antibiotics is also detectable. thus, quick assessment of this issue to prevent the spread of these infectious agents is critical for the authorities in our health care systems. results in total, 99.2% of mobile ph...

objective: to estimate incidence of reactive thrombocytosis among febrile infants and assess utility of platelet count as a potential predictor and diagnostic tool of serious bacterial infection .design:prospective non randomized study conducted between april 2011 to march 2012setting: tertiary care pediatric unit.inclusion criteria:all infants 30 to 89 days of age, admitted with rectal tempera...

background and objectives: blood stream infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in the world. in this study, we aimed at describing the organisms responsible for septicemia in 2006-2007 and their antimicrobial susceptibility that might lead to proper selection of antimicrobial agents in hospitalized patients with suspected sepsis. materials and methods: microbiology reports of 1753...
