antimicrobial resistance in pathogens not only in hospitals but also in the community has become an important public health problem. the aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns of predominant pathogens from hospitalized and outpatients in a university hospital in tehran, iran. a total of 820 samples of common gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria were collect...

activities of thirty bacterial strains obtained from plants rhizosphere in different areas against phytophthora drechsleri were assessed through in vitro and greenhouse experiments. dual culture and extracellular metabolites tests were used in in vitro assays. the bacterial strains inhibited growth of p. drechsleri, the highest inhibition zones was belonged to t17-4 strain with 61.904% in dual ...

Infectious diseases remain a major cause of deaths and disabilities in the world, the majority of which are caused by bacteria. Although immunisation is the most cost effective and efficient means to control microbial diseases, vaccines are not yet available to prevent many major bacterial infections. Examples include dysentery (shigellosis), gonorrhoea, trachoma, gastric ulcers and cancer (Hel...

The availability of hundreds of bacterial genome sequences has altered the study of bacterial pathogenesis, affecting both design of experiments and analysis of results. Comparative genomics and genomic tools have been used to identify virulence factors and genes involved in environmental persistence of pathogens. However, a major stumbling block in the genomics revolution has been the large nu...

BACKGROUND/AIM Unlike animals, the incidence of bacterial translocation and its clinical significance remain to be determined in humans, which may be due to the lack of accurate methods to confirm and monitor bacterial translocation. The literature on the consequences of novel insights of bacterial translocation was reviewed. METHODS The Medline databases were searched for publications regard...
