Evaluation of Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Formation Ability Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) Isolated From Pregnant Women in Karaj
Background and Objective: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most common cause of urinary tract infections. The binding of these bacteria to epithelial cells and the formation of biofilms cause these bacteria to be further colonized and difficult to remove in the urinary tract. This study aimed to determine the antibiotic resistance and to evaluate the biofilm formation power in Esch...
متن کاملSubinhibitory Concentrations of Allicin Decrease Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) Biofilm Formation, Adhesion Ability, and Swimming Motility
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) biofilm formation enables the organism to avoid the host immune system, resist antibiotics, and provide a reservoir for persistent infection. Once the biofilm is established, eradication of the infection becomes difficult. Therefore, strategies against UPEC biofilm are urgently required. In this study, we investigated the effect of allicin, isolated from ga...
متن کاملDetermination of phenotypic expression of the fimbriae and hemolysin of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC)
These E. coli are primarily derived from the faecal flora, which can colonize the periurethral area, overcome the local host defences and enter and multiply within the urinary tract. These E. coli strains are designed as Uropathogenic E. Coli (UPEC) which possess distinctive traits that confer an enhanced extraintestinal virulence potential. 4-6 UTI is predominantly a disease of the females, be...
متن کاملEscherichia coli mediated urinary tract infections: are there distinct uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) pathotypes?
A variety of virulence genes are associated with Escherichia coli mediated urinary tract infections. Particular sets of virulence factors shared by bacterial strains directing them through a particular pathogenesis process are called a "pathotype." Comparison of co-occurrence of potential urinary tract infection (UTI) virulence genes among different E. coli isolates from fecal and UTI collectio...
متن کاملFimbriae of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Mediate Biofilm Formation
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the developed world. The major factors associated with virulence of UPEC are fimbrial adhesins, which mediate attachment to specific receptors, enhance persistence and trigger innate host responses. UPEC produce a range of fimbrial adhesins, with type 1 and P fimbriae of the chaperone-usher subclass b...
