Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of AmpC β-Lactamases among Escherichia coli a Prospective Study in Southeast Iran.

Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) causes serious health problems due to the high rate of its resistance to common antibiotics. AmpC β-lactamases are important cephalosporinases, encoded by E.

Development and Characteristics of Novel PLGA-chitosan as a New Nanocarrier for Pentavalent Vaccine Delivery.

Background: Lately, the employment of nano-carriers has been known as an optimistic means of drug and vaccine delivery.

Objective: Nano vaccines are a novel tier of vaccines that can develop humoral and cellular immune responses and can be introduced as a practical and secure nano vaccine candidate for the prevention of diseases. The purpose of this study was to accomplish and use biodegradable nano-carriers for the synthesis of pentavalent vaccine and immunogenicity evaluation in the animal models.

Genotypic and phenotypic characterisation of clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant in two different geographical locations of Iran.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become more prevalent all over the world and it is important to determine MRSA prevalence and typing in different regions. The present study was carried out to determine the prevalence and frequency of circulating molecular types of MRSA isolates as well as their antibiotics susceptibility in Tabriz and Kerman cities of Iran.

Materials And Methods: A total of 230 S.

Characterization of plant-growth-promoting traits of Acinetobacter species isolated from rhizosphere of Pennisetum glaucum.

A total of 31 Acinetobacter isolates were obtained from the rhizosphere of Pennisetum glaucum and evaluated for their plant-growth-promoting traits. Two isolates, namely Acinetobacter sp. PUCM1007 and A.

Biofilm formation by Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from urinary tract infection and urinary catheters.

Fifty Acinetobacter isolates were obtained from urinary tract infections and urinary catheter samples. Analytical profile index assays identified 47 isolates as Acinetobacter baumannii and three as Acinetobacter lwoffii. Six A.
