Molecular identification of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes among klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from southwest Iran.

In recent years, the resistance rate to quinolone antibiotics has been increasing in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes are one of the factors causing resistance to quinolones. Hence, this study aimed to determine the incidence of PMQR genes in clinical K.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of colistin heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.

Background: Antibiotic heteroresistance is a common phenotype observed in a variety of pathogenic bacteria such as K. pneumonia: A subpopulation of cells with a higher MIC than the dominant population is defined as heteroresistance. Several studies have demonstrated colistin heteroresistance in K.

Effect of -induced gastric cancer on gastrointestinal microbiota: a narrative review.

() infection is a typical microbial agent that interferes with the complex mechanisms of gastric homeostasis by disrupting the balance between the host gastric microbiota and mucosa-related factors, ultimately leading to inflammatory changes, dysbiosis, and gastric cancer (GC). We searched this field on the basis of PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Most studies show that inhibits the colonization of other bacteria, resulting in a less variety of bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Case report: an infant with late-onset meningitis caused by Escherichia coli.

Background: Meningitis is highly prevalent in infant because their immune system is immature and they have less resistance to diseases. Among bacterial agents, is recognized as one of the most important causes of meningitis in infants.

Case Presentation: Herein, we report a case of late-onset meningitis, caused by (Patient:17-day-old female infant).

Evaluation the level of vitamin D and its relationship with clinical symptoms in patients with COVID-19 referred to the medical center in Bam city.

Background: Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that protects against viral infections by influencing innate and adaptive immune responses. The effectiveness of vitamin D3 supplementation in COVID-19 is unknown. The study's goal was to elucidate the relationship between blood vitamin D levels and COVID-19 clinical outcomes by examining the effect of a single high dose of vitamin D3 on the length of hospital stay in COVID-19 patients.
