Tehran University Medical Journal TUMS Publications, 2020

Results: 31(62%) patients were improved after combined treatment with colistin and rifampin, 4(8%) patients were died due to bloodstream infection with A. baumannii and 15(30%) passed away in effect of other reasons. The mean of BUN (P=0.07) and creatinine significantly increased (P=0.02). Clinical variables such as fever, white blood cell count, white blood cell percentage and red blood cell sedimentation rate significantly decreased (P≤0.05). Conclusion: Colistin and rifampicin appear to be an effective and safe combination therapy for treatment of ventilator-dependent pneumonia due to imipenem-resistant to A. baumannii

Maǧallaẗ ǧāmiʻaẗ kirkūk, 2019

The study included, the collection of (250) swabs which involve (180) samples from general children's Hospital environment and various isolation sources, In addition to (70) smear from the hands and noses of medical staffs and workers, Using sterile cotton swabs and then planted on the Cultuer media (MacConkey's agar and Blood agar). The results showed that (126) smears and in a ratio of (50.4%) was positive for the bacterial isolations which contribute the followings:-Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli , Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with variant isolation ratios. It high rate of contamination (73.33%), was from Hospitals environment compared to (71%) of contamination from the hands of medical staffs. Resistany agaings antibiotic was praceddon (12) antibiotics and the results showed that most of the isolates are resistant For anti-beta-lactam groups the rate was (81.74%), the followings antibiotics vancomycin, imipenem, amikacin reveal high efficucy against the isolated Staph.aureus , Staph.epidermidis , Esch.col, Prot.mirabilis , pathogens Ps.aeruginosa with reduction resistany reach to (23.80), (24.60), (36.50) respectively. The Minmam inhibitory concentration was detected using virkon, Opizil, Strillium, and bleach, ethyl alcohol, Optisal ® N was found to passing a better inhibition effect on the elected isolates, followed by an Virkon, compared with the disinfectant of sodium hyper chlorate (minor), The

Evaluation antibacterial activity of Chitosan bioactive film enriched with Eucalyptus globulus essentoil oil

Iranian Food Science and Technology Research Journal, 2017

Introduction: The edible films and coatings had remarkable growth in recent years to increase the shelf life and to enhance food quality, stability, and safety and expected to have an important impact on the food market in the following years. In addition, these matrices can be used as carriers of antimicrobials to minimize the risk of foodborne contamination by pathogens and inhibit the development of spoiler microbes. Antimicrobial packaging is a type of active packaging that provides the continuous migration of antimicrobial components to the surface of the foods. Chitosan is a linear copolymer of β-1, 4-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine. It is a cationic polysaccharide for food packaging applications, due to its unique characteristics of films, including excellent oxygen barrier properties, good mechanical properties, nontoxicity and good antimicrobial activity. Eucalyptus is a plant native from Australia and the Myrtasya family that includes about 900 species and ...

Identification of WSSV, TSV & IHHNV in wild and cultured shrimps and crustaceans in Khuzestan province - Abadan and investigation of its pathogenicity

2014

According to the white spot disease during 2002 until 2005 and the damages caused by the disease to the farmers a new species L.vannamei were introduced to the farming region of Abadan Choebdeh from 2006. Hight mortality occurred in Khuzestan province farms in 2007 and 2008 again. Probably viral agent was transferred to native shrimps or other aquatic animals, therefore it is very important that presence of viruses in local aquatic animals and its vectors detected. Detection of WSSV, TSVand IHHNV in aquatic animal from Khuzestan costal region imphasis to wild shrimp and craps is the main objectives of this study. So samples were taken from 10 active farms twice a week and 100 postlarves from 3 active breeding center befor stocking. Samples for viral detection were studied by molecular and histopathology asseys. Results was shown presence of the White spot virus in cultured and wild shrimp and TSV infection in only two cultured shrimps but there was negative result for IHHN virus. To...

A study on the prevalence of rotavirus infection among the HIV-positive patients with gastroenteritis

2013

Background: Gastroenteritis is one of the most common symptoms in AIDS patients. Although gastroenteritis in these patients is caused by several factors, the role of viral agents, especially rotavirus, is still unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of rotavirus infection among the HIV-positive cases. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 75 fecal samples were collected from HIV-positive patients with gastroenteritis referred to Imam Khomeini hospital. After viral RNA extraction, the sixth conserved segment of the virus genome (VP6) was amplified using RT-PCR method. Finally, the products were detected on 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis and confirmed by sequencing. Results: RT-PCR products with the expected size (433bp) were obtained for all rotaviruspositive as well as the wild-type standard viral isolates. Among the samples taken from 75 HIV-positive cases, 19 (25.3%) were rotavirus-positive and confirmed using direct sequencing. Conclusion: Although in this study the anticipated prevalence of rotavirus among the HIVpositive cases is about 25%, further studies are required to characterize the genotype of rotavirus in HIV-positive cases with gastroenteritis.

Evaluation of total phenol and flavonoid contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Lawsonia inermis aqueous extract against some gram- positive and gram- negative bacteria

علوم و صنایع غذایی, 2021

The toxic effects of synthetic antimicrobial and antioxidants compounds have led to an increase in the use of natural types, such as plant extracts. In this study, the antimicrobial effect of Lawsonia inermis aqueous extract was investigated against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Listeria innocua, by disc diffusion agar, well diffusion agar, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration methods. The higher concentrations of the extract showed higher antimicrobial effects against S. epidermidis and L. innocua compared to E. coli and S. typhimurium. Moreover, the total phenolic and flavonoids contents of the extract were 59.45±1.12 mg gallic acid per gram of extract and 40.35±0.70 mg quercetin per gram of extract, respectively. The antioxidant properties of aqueous extract were measured based on the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities. It was found that the antioxidant activity increased significantly as a function of L. inermis aqueous extract concentration. The antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of L. inermis leaf aqueous extract could make it a natural bioactive compound to be used.
