With the spread of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and the lack of effective antibiotics to treat them, developing new therapeutic methods and strategies is essential. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of different formulations composed of ibuprofen (IBP), acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), and dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DXP) in combination with ciprofloxacin (CIP), gentamicin (GEN), cefepime (FEP), imipenem (IPM), and meropenem (MEM) on clinical isolates of () and () as well as the transcription levels of biofilm-associated genes in the presence of sub-MICs of IBP, ASA, and DXP. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs), minimal biofilm inhibitory concentrations (MBICs), and minimum biofilm eradication concentrations (MBECs) of CIP, GEN, FEP, IPM, and MEM with/without sub-MICs of IBP (200 µg/mL), ASA (200 µg/mL), and DXP (500 µg/mL) for the clinical isolates were determined by the microbroth dilution method.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the biofilm production of isolates obtained from adenoid specimens and assess the relationship between biofilm formation ability and operon genes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 112 adenoid samples were obtained from patients under 15 years old with adenoid hypertrophy.
Objectives: is one of the most important causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial resistance, resistance and virulence genes; phylogenetic groups and identify the epidemiologic features of uropathogenic (UPEC) isolates by multilocus sequence typing (MLST).
Materials And Methods: One hundred isolates of from inpatients with UTIs were collected in Kerman, Iran.
