Abstract
Background&Objective: Transurethral resection of prostate (TUR-P) is the Gold standard therapy in benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Urinary tract infections are one of the most important complications of this method. Prophylactic antibiotic regimen and the duration in preventing the infections are controversial. This study was designed to compare three different prophylactic regimens in TUR-P. Materials&Methods: In this interventional study, patients with sterile urine analysis and culture prior to TUR-P were classified in to three groups (A, B and C). One single-dose Keflin was prescribed before the operation. Four additional doses of Keflin were given to group B patients after TUR-P. Group C was similar to group B but Ciprofloxacin was given to them until catheter removal. Data were analyzed with SPSS-11.5. ?2 test and ANOVA were used. P-value less than 0.05 considered significant. Results: The incidence of positive urine cultures in group A, B and C were 35%, 20% and 11.5%, respectively. No significant relationship was seen between UTI and antibiotic regiments. Conclusion: There was not any significant relationship between UTI and different regimens although UTI rate was lower in the group with longer duration of the prophylaxis. Complementary studies are suggested for application of this regimen.

Abstract
Antibiotics usage in domestic animals, as antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) was considered from middle of 1950 onwards. Antibiotic feed additives as growth promoters have long been supplemented to animal food in very low amounts (5 to 20 ppm) to stabilize the intestinal microbial flora, improve the general performances, and prevent some specific intestinal pathogens. The widespread use of antibiotics as AGPs is playing a significant role in the emergence of resistant bacteria. The resistant bacteria in animals due to antibiotic exposure can be transmitted to human through the consumption of their products, from close or direct contact with animals, or through the environment and consequently, the increased concern about the potential for antibiotic resistant bacteria was led the European ::::union:::: and the United States regulations banning the use of AGPs in animal food since 2006. Various studies always look for a suitable replacement antibiotics to substitute to preserve the valuable role of these compounds. Extensive efforts on these alternatives have been started in last decades and some of these alternatives such as probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, ionophores, acidifier, organic acids, medicinal herbs and phytogenic can be pointed out. Hence, the aim of this review is to evaluate the antibiotic replacement strategy particularly medicinal herbs and their mechanisms as new growth and health promoters.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Water resident bacteria are potentially important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes. This study was performed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli strains isolated from raw waters of Golestan province, northern Iran.
Methods: In this descriptive study, 26 samples from Ziarat river water (13 samples pre & 13 samples post treatment) and 36 samples from Azadshahr area springs water (18 samples pre & 18 samples post treatment) were collected. 75 numbers of Escherichia coli bacterium samples (50 isolated from river and 25 isolated from springs) identified and isolated from raw waters of Golestan province, northern Iran by MPN method via differential tests. Susceptibility of Escherichia coli strains to 11 antibiotics (Amoxicillin / Clavulanic acid, Ampicillin, Imipenem, Cefalotin, Cefotaxime, Gentamicin, Amikacin, Tetracycline, Nalidixic acid, Ciprofloxacin and Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole) was assayed by disk diffusion Kirby & Bauer’s method.
Results: 14 spring's raw water samples and 12 river raw water samples contained Escherichia coli. All of the river and springs samples assayed free from Escherichia coli post treatment. All of the Escherichia coli strains isolated from samples showed the similar phenotypical resistance against to surveyed 11 antibiotics. The most significance resistance to Ampicillin (river 94% & springs 88%), Amoxicillin / Clavulanic acid (river 76% & springs 80%), Tetracycline (river 14% & springs 16%) and Cefalotin (river 8% & springs 16%) viewed. Resistance to Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole (8%), Nalidixic acid (2%) and Ciprofloxacin (2%) just viewed in river samples. All of the river and spring isolates were sensitive to Imipenem, Cefotaxime, Gentamicin and Amikacin and demonstrated intermediate resistance to others antibiotics.
