ZOOLOGYSixty years ago a coelacanth--a species believed to have gone extinct 80 million years ago--turned up off South Africa. No one thought the living fossil survived anywhere else in the world until last year when a biologist found one 10,000 kilometers away, in Indonesia. Now it turns out that the find may be a second coelacanth species. But the report, in the April issue of Comptes Rendus de L'AcadA©mie des Sciences , is controversial because it comes not from the coelacanth's discoverer… Expand

      Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Strains Isolated From Diarrheic Children in Iran
      TLDR
      The results indicated that EAEC strains isolated from Iranian children with diarrhea were heterogeneous and showed high resistance rates against commonly used antibiotics, which was similar to that reported in studies performed in other countries. Expand
      Prevalence of Virulence-Related Determinants in Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis
      TLDR
      The frequency of icaA, IS256, aap, fbe and bhp in clinical isolates of S. epidermidis was significantly different from similar studies, yet frequency of bhp was in accordance with other studies. Expand
      Tosufloxacin for Eradicating Biofilm-Forming Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae Isolated from Intractable Acute Otitis Media
      TLDR
      In vitro bacteria-epithelial cell co-culture model is a relatively simple and static method for studying NTHi biofilms and suggests Tosufloxacin will be an effective alternative for the treatment of intractable acute otitis media caused by Nthi biofilm. Expand
      Antibiofilm efficacy of silver nanoparticles against biofilm of extended spectrum β-lactamase isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae
      The ability of bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance and colonize abiotic surfaces by forming biofilms is a major cause of medical implant-associated infections and results in prolonged… Expand
      Evaluation of Biofilm Formation Among Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates and Molecular Characterization by ERIC-PCR
      TLDR
      The results indicated that an enormous proportion of K. pneumoniae isolated from sputum and surgical-wound swabs produced fully established biofilms, indicating that the resistance of biofilm-mediated infections to effective chemotherapy has adverse effects on patient outcomes and survival. Expand
      Detection of Genes Involved in Biofilm Formation in MDR and XDR Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from Human Clinical Specimens in Isfahan, Iran
      TLDR
      This study shows the high tendency among the clinical isolates of A. baumannii to form a biofilm and shows the correlation between the presence of blaPER-1 and bap genes with the capacity of biofilm formation and resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Expand
      Assessment of Biofilm Formation and Resistance to Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin among Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii in Tehran
      TLDR
      Most of A. baumannii isolates can form biofilm in microtiter plate and tube and it can be concluded that most of these isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin and imipenem. Expand
      Periodontal microorganisms in synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Systematic review of the literature – 2017
      TLDR
      The included studies provided evidence of the presence of periodontal microorganisms in the synovial fluid in subjects with PD and RA, associating the prevalence of P. gingivalis with increased levels of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies, which could exacerbate inflammatory processes and produce autoimmune reactions in RA.
