Antibiotic resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as one of the most problematic hospital acquired pathogens around world. This study was designed to investigate presence antibiotic A. in various environments.Air, water and inanimate surface samples were taken different wards four hospitals analyzed for baumannii. Confirmed isolates antimicrobial susceptibility also screened three common OXA- type carbapenemase-encoding genes.A. detected 11% (7/64) air with highest recovery intensive...

Indoor bioaerosols have recently received considerable interest because of their impact on health. In this study, concentrations in relation to airborne particulate matter various indoor environments were investigated. The comparative performance two common biosamplers, including the single-stage Andersen impactor and all-glass impinger (AGI) for bioaerosol sampling, was also evaluated. average levels bacteria fungi sampled by 516 176 colony forming units (CFU) m–3 AGI 163 151 CFU m–3,...

Background Considering the importance of differential diagnosis infectious otitis externa (OE), a stepwise PCR-based assay using universal and genus- or species-specific primers for detection/identification most prevalent bacterial fungal OE was developed evaluated on ear aspiration specimens clinically suspected patients. Methods Materials A total 120 with otomycosis suspicion were subjected to manual DNA extraction phenol–chloroform after tissue digestion lysis buffer. The multiplex PCR...

In recent years, the global spread of antimicrobial resistance has become a concerning issue, often referred to as "silent pandemic". Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) are recurring problem, with some originating from waterborne route. The study aimed investigate presence clinically relevant opportunistic and antibiotic genes (ARGs) in hospital water distribution systems (WDSs).

Marine recreational waters harbor various microorganisms that may pose health risks to users. However, fungal contamination, particularly by Candida species, has received limited attention despite evidence of their presence and potential concerns. This study aimed assess the microbial quality water at five popular beaches along Persian Gulf, with a specific focus on species. Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), including Escherichia coli Enterococci, were enumerated in marine samples....

Multicomponent adsorption of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) was assessed in aqueous solutions by montmorillonite modified with tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB‐Mt). Batch experiments were conducted to determine the influences parameters including loading rates surfactant, contact time, pH, adsorbate concentration, temperature on efficiency. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) X‐ray diffractometer (XRD) used adsorbent properties. Results showed that modification...
