Article Synopsis
- Macrolide antibiotics are commonly used to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections, but the rise of resistant strains poses a significant public health threat due to complex resistance mechanisms.
- The study involved isolating and testing about 300 S. aureus samples from various clinical sources and examining their resistance to macrolides and Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) strains using techniques like PCR and gel electrophoresis.
- Results showed seven major resistance patterns linked to different genetic markers, and novel combinations of antibiotics with vitamins indicated enhanced antibacterial effects, suggesting potential new treatments for these infections.
Background/aim: Virulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa. is frequently life-threatening and often challenging to treat, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant isolates presents a critical problem for patients. The aim of the study was concerned with molecular analysis of the virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance profile of multidrug-resistant P.

The aim of this study was to compare the production and antimicrobial resistance patterns of some virulence factors in extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL)-producing and nonproducing P. aeruginosa clinical isolates.
