In the present study, integrated remote sensing, geological and geochemical analyses provided three iron ore localities promising for iron mineralization namely; Kom-Ombo (area 1) Aswan (area 2) and Lake Naser (area 3). They are found in variable altitudes at different topographies in the post Nubia sandstones (Timsah formation) at Wadi

Eighty clinical bacterial isolates were collected from Sayed Galal hospital in Cairo. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined for five aminoglycoside antibiotics: netilmycin, sissomycin, spectinomycin, gentamicin and neomycin. The most potent gentamicin-resistant bacterial isolate (IS-20) was identified as Staphylococcus aureus. On the other hand, the same eighty clinical bacterial isolates were screened to produce modifying enzyme-inhibitory protein against the same five antibiotics mentioned above. Only two bacterial isolates gave activity: IS-37 and IS-46. However, IS-46 isolate higher activity than IS-37 isolate with all five antibiotics, especially with gentamicin. Bacterial isolate IS-46 was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Optimization was studied to obtain the maximum yield of gentamicin modifying-enzyme inhibitory protein. Gentamicin modifying-enzyme inhibitory protein was precipitated at 50% saturated ammonium sulfate, and then purified using ion exchange (DEAEcellulose) and gel filtration column chromatography (Sephadex G-200). The purified inhibitory protein was electrically separated at 32 KDa. Amino acids sequence and concentration were determined by HPLC. Gentamicin modifying-enzyme inhibitory protein was combined at 128 mg.L-1 with gentamicin antibiotic at 128 µg.ml-1 to inhibit the growth of S. aureus.
