Preliminary survey of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in nosocomial uropathogen in north-central Iran.

Infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) producing bacteria, including have increasingly subjected to therapeutic limitations and patients with these infections are at high risk for treatment failure, long hospital stays, high health care costs, and high mortality. The aim of this study was to screen the prevalence of the , and ESBL genes in . strains isolated from nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs).

In vitro antibacterial effect of deconex and sodium hypochlorite against bacterial taxa isolated from dental units.

Dental unit's environment and relevant instruments are a major source of infectious diseases caused by a variety of microorganisms. The application of various disinfectants is one of the most effective methods for reducing or eliminating microbial contamination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effects of deconex and sodium hypochlorite against bacterial taxa isolated from dental unit's environment of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, southwest of Iran.
