Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)is a current global public health problem due to its increasing resistance to the most recent antibiotic therapies.One critical approach is to develop ways to revitaliz...
Background:Carbapenems are effective against severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa nosocomial infections.Therefore,carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious public health threat.An understanding of the risk of ...
Objective: Class B carbapenemases are bacterial enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of β-lactam core antibiotics, except for monobactams. The objective of this study was to identify the carbapenemase gene blaIM...
The Salvadora persica(S.persica)L.chewing stick,usually known as miswak,is still being em-ployed as an oral hygiene agent for plaque and gingivitis prevention.This study aims to assess the antibacterial,antibiofilm,an...
