- The study updates the resistance mechanisms and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus from health care workers' nasal swabs at a children's hospital in Babol, Iran.
- Out of 143 samples, 22.4% were nasal carriers of S. aureus, with 40.6% of those being methicillin-resistant (MRSA).
- The research found high resistance rates to erythromycin and identified various resistance genes, with significant biofilm production observed among strains, emphasizing the global issue of MLSB antibiotic resistance.

The dissemination of antibiotic resistance in poses a significant threat to public health worldwide. This review provides a comprehensive update on the diverse mechanisms employed by in developing resistance to antibiotics. We primarily focus on pathotypes of (e.

Additionally, the (GTG)5 fingerprinting technique was used to investigate the genetic diversity of Extended-Spectrum B-Lactamase (ESBL)-positive isolates. In this case-control study, 111 urine isolates were obtained from non-KTPs and KTPs, respectively.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 156 UPEC isolates were collected from UTI patients. ESBL-producing isolates were detected using the double-disc synergy (DDS) method, and biofilm formation was assessed through a microplate assay.
