Background & Aims: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium which is capable of producing biofilm, phosphomycin is one of the broad-spectrum antibiotics and Zataria multiflora is among the most widely used medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of Phosphomycin and Z.multiflora essential oil against biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa PAO1...

 Background & Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus that can cause a range of infections. Methicillin resistance in these bacteria is often in companion with resistance to multiple antibiotics. High prevalence of these isolates can cause treatment failure. Phosphomycin is a Peptidoglycan biosynthesis inhibitor that is used in treating of infections caused by multi-drug resistant...

    Background & Aims : Most of the methicillin resistant S.aureus isolates are resistant to many other antibiotics as well, so they can cause refractory infections. Therefore monitoring and control of these resistant isolates is always a necessity. Phosphomycin is an extended-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits synthesis of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan and is helpful for controlling methici...

Introduction: E. coli is the predominant causes of urinary tract infection. Several virulence factors for bacterial infections in the urinary tract are required. In this study, we have considered several virulence factors in strains isolated from the patients with UTI in Yazd. Methods: In this cross-sectional study in 1394-1395, 146 strains isolated were collected from the patients with urinar...
