Lytic potential of a filamentous bacteriophage isolated from sewage water in Tehran on clinical carbapenem-resistant strains.

Background And Objectives: , an opportunistic pathogen, has been isolated from sewage, soil, and hospital wards. The prevalence of multidrug-resistance has seriously caused a health crisis in hospital settings. Bacteriophages have been used as an alternative therapy for control carbapenem-resistant bacteria-caused infections.

The comparative effects of erythromycin and amikacin on acute respiratory Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Background: One of the most common causes of pneumonia is Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). As with other microbial pathogens, this bacterium tends to develop resistance to various antibiotics.
