It has been suggested that genes encoding resistance to an antibiotic can be located together with heavy metals resistance genes on either the same genetic structure (plasmid) or different genetic structures within the same bacterial strain. Resistance transfer is mainly attributed to conjugation since many antimicrobial resistance genes are situated on mobile elements, such as plasmids and conjugative transposons, whereas renovation and transduction are usually more limited. Our study confirmed the flow of resistance genes between indigenous and foreign organisms and indicated the possibility of resistance transfer from environmental reservoirs to pathogenic strains, which should be underlined in the future. The recent patents on drug resistance (US20030130169, WO/2001/060387, WO/2016/151092) and gene transfer (JP2003189855, JP2010094090), helped in this study.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Water samples were collected from three different sites of hospital wastewater. Isolation of Gram-negative bacteria from hospital wastewater samples was done using the standard microbial procedure.

The antibiotic resistance was determined by a standard disc diffusion technique. The bacterial resistance transfer studies were determined between donor and recipient strain in nutrient as well as wastewater. The antibiogram and MIC of the donors and transconjugants were studied by above-described methods.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A high number of Gram-Negative Bacterial Isolates (GNB) exhibited antibiotic and metal resistance transfer into E. coli K-12 and similar GNB isolates in nutrient broth as compared to wastewater.

In the present conjugation study, 97.5% and 70% of the total tested GNB isolates were able to transfer an antibiotic-resistant marker to recipient GNB in both the medium (nutrient medium and wastewater), whereas 92.5% and72.5% of the isolates were able to transfer metal resistant marker to recipient GNB in nutrient medium and wastewater from all the site tested.

Despite the high mortality in elderly people, a large number of CAP patients have been treated and survived with optimal life expectancy. A few studies have been done on adult CAP therapeutic approaches in Asia. Moreover, differences have been noted between these studies and European data. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of oral Levofloxacin (TAVANEX), 750 mg, once daily for five days versus parenteral Ceftriaxone 1gr BD, plus oral Azithromycin (250 mg, once daily) for seven to ten days (standard regimen) in CAP treatment.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS\u0000We conducted a prospective randomized trial among 150 patients with CAP in Qaem Hospital of Alborz city from December 2016 to June 2017. A group of CAP patients were randomized in two treatment groups. One group was treated with oral Levofloxacin (TAVANEX), 750 mg, once daily for five days and the other group with parenteral Ceftriaxone 1gr BD plus oral Azithromycin (250 mg, once daily) for seven to ten days (standard regimen). The efficacy and side effects of the assigned drugs were compared between two groups.

There was no report of hospital mortality, clinical deterioration and antibiotic escalation during hospital admission in both groups of study. In standard regimen group, only two (2.7%) patients had skin rash while in Levofloxacin group one case (1.3%) had skin rash, two patients (2.7%) had gastrointestinal problems and three (4%) patients showed central nervous system (CNS) complications. In both groups, the reticulonodular pattern was more frequently observed in Chest X-ray.
