Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBacterial Profile and Antimicrobial Resistance to Commonly Used Antimicrobials in Intra-Abdominal Infections in Two Teaching HospitalsGholamreza Sepehri, Hamid Zeinali Nejad, Ehsan Sepehri, Saeideh RazbanProblem statement: Intra-abdominal infections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The resulting infection is typically polymicrobial and comprised of both aerobic and anaerobic microbes, which need systemic antimicrobial therapy. Since the bacteriology and antimicrobial susceptibility of postoperative intra abdominal infections were not determined in Iran, so this study was performed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns among aerobic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBacterial Contamination and Resistance to Commonly Used Antimicrobials of Healthcare Workers' Mobile Phones in Teaching Hospitals, Kerman, IranGholamreza Sepehri, Nooshin Talebizadeh, Ali Mirzazadeh et al.Problem Statement: The contamination rates of Health Care Worker's (HCW) mobile phones and resistance to commonly used antimicrobials were evaluated in three teaching hospitals in Kerman, Iran. So, we examined 150 randomly selected HCWs in three teaching hospitals in Kerman, Iran, 2007. For each HCW a sterile swab moistened with sterile water was rotated over the surface of both sides … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,773 accessesView PDFCite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the keywordsGenotypic Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance-Associated Genes in Citrobacter Freundii Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection in Al-Najaf Governorate-IraqThualfakar Hayder, Ahmed Abduljabbar Jaloob AljanabyCitrobacter freundii is one of the most important pathogens that cause urinary tract infection in human because it harbors many types of antimicrobials resistance-associated genes. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance-associated genes citrobacter freundii isolated from patients with urinary tract infection in Al-Najaf governorate-Iraq. A total of 30 strains of citrobacter freundii isolated from urine … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2019 · 8,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSuspension of Certain Dental Procedures Due to COVID-19: A Source of Over-Prescription?Gowri Sivaramakrishnan, Fatema Al Sulaiti, Muneera Alsobaiei, Kannan SridharanDentists have always been attributed to the ever rising global problem of antibiotic resistance. The recent pandemic due to COVID-19 has caused greater concern and primary dental care practices temporarily suspended all aerosol generating and invasive procedures in the Ministry of Health in Bahrain, between February to August 2020. Dental emergencies were addressed using a triage system and low exposure … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 10 Jun 2021 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Multiplex PCR Panel on Reducing Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use in Ventilator-Associated PneumoniaMaría Inés Staneloni, Emilio F. Huaier Arriazu et al.The extended use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials contribute to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal strategy aiming at reducing the duration of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Conducted in a single Intensive Care Unit (ICU), this quasi-experimental, retrospective study compares a pre-intervention period (08/01/2018-07/01/2019) with an intervention period (08/01/2022-07/01/2023).
