The increase of antibiotic resistance among isolates of E. coli has become a main concern worldwide. The purposes of this study were to determine the phylogenetic background, prevalence and characterize of extended-spectrum β-lactamases and metallo-β-Lactamase produced by E. coli from UTIs.Materials and MethodsTwo hundred and sixteen E. coli isolates were isolated from UTI. The isolates were screened to determine the phylogenetic background and prevalence of CTX-M-15, PER, VEB, IMP and VIM genes by PCR. The antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was determined by disk diffusion and broth micro-dilution methods. The isolates were screened using a double-disc synergy test.ResultsPhylotyping of isolates revealed that isolates segregated in phylo-groups A (40.74%), B1 (7.87%), B2 (18.05%) and D (33.34%). By disk diffusion test 61.57% of isolates were resistant to cefotaxime, 35.64% to ceftazidime, 26.38% to aztreonam, 16.66% to cefepime and 6.48% to imipenem. Among the studied ESBL isolates, 72.41% isolates were positive for the CTX-M-15 gene. None of the isolates were positive for IMP, VIM, PER and VEB genes.ConclusionThe ESBL-producing strains were associated with shifts in phylogenetic distribution toward none-B2 phylo-groups and they mainly belonged to A and D groups.","PeriodicalId":367694,"journal":{"name":"International Electronic Journal of Medicine","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114539416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The β-lactamases enzymes are the major defense of gram-negative bacteria against antibiotics. The aim of this study was to the detection of blaCTX-M, blaSHV , and blaTEM genes among K. pneumoniae strains isolated from patients who admitted to Shahid Beheshti hospital of Babol city, Iran, in 2016. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 samples of K. pneumoniae strains isolated from hospitalized patients. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. The blaCTX-M, blaSHV, and blaTEM genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction method. Result: Among studied strains, the prevalence of blaCTX-M, blaSHV , and blaTEM genes were 24 (49%), 44 (88%), and 36 (72%), respectively. In this study, imipenem and nitrofurantoin were more effective than other antibiotics. Also, 100% of strains were susceptible to imipenem. Conclusions: The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes detected in this study implies a great concern for the treatment of multidrug-resistant K. pneumonie. Hence, infection control measures, including antibacterial management and identification of resistant isolates for preventing of nosocomial outbreaks have become highlighted.","PeriodicalId":367694,"journal":{"name":"International Electronic Journal of Medicine","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115502738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aims to evaluate the effects of galantamine as a cholinergic agent on the acute and late phases of IR.Materials and Methods: Forty rats were randomly allocated to eight groups (n=5): IR groups were subjected to 90 min ischemia followed by 4 and 24 hours reperfusion to induce acute and late phases of IR, respectively, two groups received pre- or post-treatment dose(s) of galantamine in the acute phase of IR, two groups received pre- or post-treatment dose(s) of galantamine in late phase of IR, and two sham-operated groups. Blood samples were taken, and ALT, AST, ALP, and LDH were measured to evaluate the liver function.Results: Pre-ischemic treatment with galantamine decreased the levels of ALT, AST, and ALP in the acute phase of IR, unlike the late phase (P-value<0.05). Post-ischemic treatment with galantamine in the acute phase of IR was decreased all enzymes (P-value<0.05). Unlike the latter, treatment with galantamine in the late phase of IR was increased these values.Conclusions: We concluded that pre- and post-ischemic treatment with galantamine could be ameliorated hepatic IR injury, in the acute phase versus the late phase, which should be further studied in detail.","PeriodicalId":367694,"journal":{"name":"International Electronic Journal of Medicine","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126508135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction of university students with educational services and support of sports camps in the eleventh Male Students Sports Olympiad of the Universities of Medical Sciences in 2012. Materials and Methods: In this survey research, 330 of 2400 male students who participated in the competitions were randomly selected by Morgan table. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire, including demographic information as well as 34 items and 2 open questions with five-point Likert scale (very good, good, moderate or fair, poor, very poor). The validity and reliability of the questionnaire (0.90) were confirmed by the university experts. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics by SPSS 20. Result: The results of this study revealed that students’ overall satisfaction was at moderate level (3.11±0.79). Students were most satisfied with transportation (3.40 ± 0.93) and least satisfied with medical-health facilities (2.80 ± 1.09) and cultural activities (2.81±0.90). Conclusion: According to the point that satisfaction of students with sports camps was at moderate level, it is essential to pay more attention to the components with which students were least satisfied to improve the quality of services provided by universities.","PeriodicalId":367694,"journal":{"name":"International Electronic Journal of Medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131426939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
