| bacterial pericarditis and antimicrobial resistance at the tehran heart center, iran. | when bacterial pericarditis is suspected, urgent pericardial drainage combined with intravenous antibacterial therapy is mandatory to avert devastating, life-threatening complications. there have been scanty results on antimicrobial susceptibility of common causative microorganisms of bacterial pericarditis; most studies had small sample sizes and were performed decades ago. | 2015 | 26230130 |
| nosocomial gram-positive antimicrobial susceptibility pattern at a referral teaching hospital in tehran, iran. | the aim of the study was to evaluate epidemiology and susceptibility patterns of nosocomial gram-positive infections in a referral teaching hospital. | 2012 | 22827310 |
| genotypic diversity of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from inpatients and outpatients. | we investigated the prevalence of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (mrcons) isolated from hospitalized patients and outpatients (op). out of 350 staphylococcal isolates collected from three hospitals, 190 were coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons). these isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility tests, detection of meca, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) typing. among the 190 isolated cons, staphylococcus epidermidis (47.3%) and staphylococcus haem ... | 2016 | 26248114 |
| investigation of biofilm formation ability, antimicrobial resistance and the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec patterns of methicillin resistant staphylococcus epidermidis with different sequence types isolated from children. | this study investigated the molecular characterizations of 80 methicillin resistant staphylococcus epidermidis (mrse) collected during 2012-2013 in tehran children's medical center, iran. about 90% of mrse isolates were multi-drug resistant (mdr) and the highest resistance was observed to cotrimoxazole and they were quite sensitive to quinupristin-dalfopristin and linezolid. though vana gene was not detected, the majority of isolates showed intermediate resistance to vancomycin (mic90 16 μg/ml). ... | 2016 | 26821355 |
