Evaluation of Genotypes in Endocervical Specimens by Sequence Analysis of ompA Gene among Women in Tehran.

Tehran's actual prevalence of (CT) and its genotypes are still unclear. Molecular typing of CT strains can provide essential epidemiological knowledge and contribute to improved control measures. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of CT and its genotypes in the endocervical infections of females who attended the gynecology and infertility clinics in Tehran.

Clinical efficacy of probiotics in prevention of infectious diseases among hospitalized patients in ICU and non-ICU wards in clinical randomized trials: A systematic review.

Background And Aims: The present study aimed to review probiotics' clinical efficacy in preventing infectious diseases among hospitalized patients in ICU and non-ICU wards.

Methods: A search of Medline, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Open Grey, and Google Scholar was conducted for eligible publications from 2002 to 2020 following the requirements outlined in the PRISMA guideline. The search strategy was based on the combination of the following terms: "probiotics," "prebiotics," "synbiotics," and "cross-infection.

Multilocus VNTR analysis-ompA typing of Chlamydia trachomatis isolates in Tehran, Iran.

Introduction: This study is the first to describe the genetic diversity of C. trachomatis strains derived from patients with signs and symptoms of genitourinary infections admitted to Tehran health centers and hospitals using the high-resolution genotyping method, multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis with ompA sequencing (MLVA)-ompA.

Methods: One hundred and sixty-seven urogenital specimens were collected from October 2019 to July 2020.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and molecular characterization of in Tehran, Iran.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection occurring worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in and associated molecular epidemiological studies are crucial to ascertain the spread of antibiotic-resistant and developing the local treatment guidelines. This study was performed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and molecular epidemiology of isolates in Tehran, Iran.

Impact of Laboratory Methods and Gene Targets on Detection of in Isolates and Clinical Specimens.

Background: Timely identification of infections can lead to a decrease in mortality rates. Differentiation of from other similar species using traditional culture-based and molecular methods is problematic. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of identifying the and for the detection of from isolates and various clinical samples using molecular methods.

, and among women with genitourinary infection and pregnancy-related complications in Tehran: A cross-sectional study.

The present study investigates the prevalence of (CT), (NG), and (TV) among women with genitourinary infection and pregnancy-related complications in Tehran. It also evaluates the demographic information, symptoms, and sequelae. Endocervical samples were obtained over a period of eight months from 360 women including 180 symptomatic patients and 180 patients with pregnancy-related complications and infertility.
