conclusion determination of colonized bacteria in oropharynx of healthy children and relationship between them can be helpful to find the ways to interfere with their colonization and prevention of diseases due to them. materials and methods the colonized bacteria in oropharynx of 296 children between 2-6 years old from 7 day care centers of tehran were isolated and determined by specific diagn...

results the optimal conditions were considered to perform elisa. comparison between results obtained from optimized elisa kit and commercial elisa kit showed a good agreement. background haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) infection has high morbidity and mortality rate, especially in children under 5 years of age. enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) technique is the most used method to d...

background: the pathogenesis of nontypeable haemophilus influenzae (nthi) begins with adhesion to the rhinopharyngeal mucosa. almost 38-80% of nthi clinical isolates produce proteins that belong to the high molecular weight (hmw) family of adhesins, which are believed to facilitate colonization. methods: in the present study, the prevalence of hmwa, which encodes the hmw adhesin, was determined...

conclusions antibiotic resistance gene cassettes may be carried on integron or other genetic elements. the purpose of this study was to detect integron or genomic islands involved in antibiotic resistance profile of the isolates of h. influenzae collected in this study. results of the twenty isolates, all (100%) were resistant to clindamycin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline, 95% to amoxicillin...

A series of 26 cases of meningitis occurring in one year in a defined area is presented. The clinical features, and complications are reviewed. Neisseria meningitidis occurred twice as commonly as Haemophilus influenzae, suggesting that the pattern of infection differs from that reported in England and Wales. An incidence of 4.6/100,000 for N. meningitidis is reported exceeding rates of infecti...

background haemophilus influenza may cause severe infections in children and adults. the isolation and identification of haemophilus spp. are not appropriately achieved in iran, while numerous infections are ascribed to the different members of this genus. lack of growth factors disks is our main shortage in this regard. materials and methods we obtained haemin (x-factor) from human blood, and ...
