Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency that poses large clinical and economic burden. Understanding the global burden of appendicitis crucial for evaluating unmet needs implementing scaling up intervention services to reduce adverse health outcomes. This study aims provide comprehensive assessment global, regional, national appendicitis, by age sex, from 1990 2021.
Oxidative stress and inflammation have been reported to be higher in subjects with depression, but it is unclear whether this due inadequate dietary antioxidant intake or the pathophysiology of depression. The aim study was assess association between serum status depression scales young male university students.
To evaluate the potential probiotic properties of Lactobacillus strains isolated from feces infants and also to determine their antimicrobial activity against some enteropathogenic bacteria.The Fecal samples were prepared 120 aged less than 24 months. In total, 105 identified by phenotypic tests. Thirty isolates randomly selected study properties. These examined for resistance acid (pH: 2.5, 2 h) bile (oxgall 0.3%, 8 h), adhesion HT-29 cells, antibiotic susceptibility, activities.On basis...

Shigellosis is a significant global human health problem, and Shigella in charge of almost 165 million cases this disease annually, whom 163 are developing countries 1.5 developed countries. The main aims the current survey were to identify spp. isolated from diarrheal patients by conventional biochemical tests, determine antimicrobial susceptibility profiles disk diffusion method, detect ipaH gene using PCR assay.The bacterial isolates identified as microbiological tests serogrouped slide...
A biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) is investigated by using Punica granatum (PG) fruit peels as cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). As a first step, the phytochemical properties were evaluated reducing agents and control for nanocomposites. The second step involved biosynthesizing PG–CNC–ZnONPs simple rapid method, which was then confirmed spectroscopy microscopy. In addition, antibacterial activity tested against S. aureus, E.coli, typhi, S.flexneri in vitro. E. coli flexneri had...
Background: Different Escherichia coli phylogenetic groups, such as A, B1, B2, and D, have four functional groups - adhesins, microcins, toxins, capsules which can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). A group with a high virulence content becomes worldwide health concern. Resistance to antimicrobial agents increasingly complicates the management of E. extraintestinal infections, major source illness, death, increased care costs. The aim this study was determine susceptibility pattern...
Functional constipation is a common and annoying gastrointestinal disorder among children worldwide in which the intestinal microbiota composition plays fundamental role. This study aimed to compare quantity of main Lactobacillus species constipated healthy controls.Fecal samples were collected from 40 fulfilling Rome IV criteria for functional volunteers. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method with species-specific primers was used investigate seven fecal...
Extensive and inappropriate use of quinolones has led to growing resistance rates these broad-spectrum antibiotics. The present study purposed investigate the prevalence plasmid-mediated quinolone (PMQR) genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates.Ninety-two non-repetitive K. isolates were confirmed by standard microbiological methods. Antibacterial susceptibility toward seven agents from family was evaluated disc diffusion method. Ciprofloxacin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs)...
Background: The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli strains, especially extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing has become a global health concern. This study was aimed to determine the frequency bla CTX-M , TEM and SHV genes among E. isolates from urinary tract infection (UTI) evaluate their antibiotic resistance pattern. Methods: Totally 98 were recovered urine samples UTI-diagnosed patients. Antibiotic ESBL production evaluated by disk diffusion...
The increasing resistance to macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B agents among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a worldwide problem for the health community. This study aimed investigate prevalence of ermA, ermB, ermC , msrA in MRSA strains isolated from burn patients Ahvaz, southwest Iran. A total 76 isolates S. were collected January May 2017 Taleghani Burn Hospital Ahvaz. Among collected, 60 (78.9%) MRSA. antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed extreme high...
Background: Inflammation and oxidative stress have been reported to be higher in subjects with normal weight obesity (NWO) syndrome [normal body mass index (BMI) (<25 kg/m2) but excessive fat (for women ≥ 30% for men 20%) according World Health Organization (WHO) definitions]; however, it is unclear whether this due inadequate dietary antioxidant intake or the pathophysiology of NWO. The aim present study was assess association between factors status NWO male university students. Methods:...
Acute toxoplasmosis may lead to congenital with fetal complications outcome during pregnancy. Anti- Toxoplasma gondii antibody seroprevalence is unclear in pregnant women of south Khuzestan province, since limited data about T. seroepidemiology has been published this area (Abadan, Shadegan, Khoramshar).The aim study was clarify the status province.In cross-sectional study, 501 full-term were included. This carried out Taleghani teaching hospital for six 6 months from May October 2011....

Legionellosis is the generic term used to describe infections caused by different varieties of Legionella spp., including Legionnaires' disease (LD), a severe and potentially fatal form pneumonia, Pontiac fever, self-limited flu-like illness. usually acquired through inhalation or aspiration aerosols containing spp. These bacteria can cause acute consolidating pneumonia in susceptible patients who are at an advanced age, have underlying debilitating diseases, immunodeficient. The main...
Abstract Objective The global emergence of carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is considered a significant contemporary concern., as carbapenems are the last resort for treating infections caused by multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria. This study aimed to investigate carbapenem‐resistance genes in extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase producing K. isolates. Methods Seventy‐five non‐duplicate clinical strains were isolated from urine, blood, sputum, and wound samples. Antimicrobial...
