Identification of beta-lactamase genes and molecular genotyping of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a clinically relevant pathogen that has raised considerable public health concerns. This study aims to determine the presence of beta-lactamase genes and perform molecular genotyping of multidrug-resistant (MDR) K. pneumoniae clinical isolates.

A Comprehensive Study on the Distribution of Integrons and Their Gene Cassettes in Clinical Isolates.

Antibiotic resistance is a significant global health concern, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Integrons are genetic elements that could acquire and express gene cassettes, including those that confer antibiotic resistance. This comprehensive study focused on the distribution of integrons and their gene cassettes in clinical isolates.

Anti-biofilm and antibacterial effect of bacteriocin derived from Lactobacillus plantarum on the multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

This research examines the impact of bacteriocin derived from Lactobacillus plantarum PTCC 1745 on the biofilm formations of A. baumannii isolates. Bacteriocin derived from L.

Vaginal microbiota and gynecological cancers: a complex and evolving relationship.

The vagina hosts a community of microorganisms known as the vaginal microbiota. This community is relatively stable and straightforward, with Lactobacillus species being the most dominant members. The vaginal microbiota has various functions that are essential for maintaining human health and balance.

Evaluation of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes, SCCmec, gene and PCR-RFLP gene typing of isolates from hospitals in Shiraz, southwest of Iran.

is an important human pathogen that causes various infections. Aminoglycosides are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to treat methicillinresistant (MRSA) infections. Typing of isolates by coagulase gene typing and PCR-RFLP gene is a fast and suitable method for epidemiological studies.
