✅ According to this study results, virulence factors genes in clinical A. baumannii have a prevalence rate more than 90%. Additionally, the high incidence rate of those genes related to biofilm formation indicates that most clinical strains have the ability to form biofilm structures.

✅ It can be concluded that the bacterial endophytes of A. jesdianum can be considered to be potential and beneficial agents against human pathogens. A. jesdianum with anti-pathogenic activity could be a source to produce important anti-pathogenic compounds from an agricultural and pharmaceutical point of view.

✅ It seems that the growth of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii was not affected by Pepsin-Camel-Lac1 treatment in the bacterial culture medium.

✅ Dominant yeast flora was identified in raw cow’s milk samples. The obtained results also indicated that fungal diversity varies from field to field. However, similarities in some isolated species have been revealed.

✅ Low concentrations of pyocyanine can stimulate the PBMC of cancer patients to secrete IL-2 cytokines. Further studies should be performed on the immunostimulatory effects of pyocyanine in laboratory animals.

✅ The results of this study showed significant association between the frequency of the cagA gene and peptic ulcer in the studied patients. 

✅Based on our findings, Lactic acid bacteria and other potentially probiotic microorganisms are present in Kermanshahi traditional oil. Of course the potential probiotic properties of these isolates and impact of consumption of Kermanshahi traditional oil containing those on human health need to be analyzed more. By proving the presence of probiotic bacteria in Kermanshahi oil, it may be falls in the category of functional foods.

✅We found a significant increase in monocyte count. Lymphopenia was also observed. In patients with respiratory symptoms, CRP was significantly higher than the normal reference range.
