Molecular epidemiology of quinolon resistant strains of extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli
OBJECTIVE To determine the clonal relationship of ESBL-producing and quinolone resistant E.coli strains and to investigate the risk factors for infections with these microorganisms. METHODS A total of 95 ESBL-producing and quinolone resistant E.coli strains isolated from various clinical specimens of inpatients and outpatients in our hospital were included in the study. Risk factors for infec...

that hospital outbreaks of ESBL-producing E. coli may occur6. The reason why ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae is more likely to cause clusters of infection than E. coli has not been fully explored. While scores of scientists study bacterial pathogenesis, attention must surely be placed by the scientific community on the reasons why some strains are more “hospital-adapted” than others. Ability to at...
متن کاملRisk Factors and Molecular Epidemiology of Community-Onset Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Bacteremia
PURPOSE Inadequate empirical therapy for severe infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBLEC) is associated with poor outcomes. This study was designed to investigate risk factors for community-onset ESBLEC bacteremia at admission to a tertiary care hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study was performed that included all episodes of ESBLEC ...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND Resistance to cephalosporins in Enterobacteriaceae is mainly due to the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL). Little is known about ESBL-producing bacteria in Bangladesh. Therefore, the study presents results of phenotypic and molecular characterization of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli from hospitals in Bangladesh. METHODS A total of 339 E. coli isolated from pat...
متن کاملLytic Activity of Isolated Phage from Milk Against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Escherichia coli
Background and purpose: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection. The treatment strategy has been hampered by the emergence of broad-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E.coli and its resistance to most antibiotics. Bacteriophages are suggested as an alternative treatment option. This study aimed at evaluating the lytic activity of isolated phage from unpaste...
