Comparative effect of tetracycline and doxycycline on the occurrence of resistant Escherichia coli in the fecal flora.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibiotic-induced changes in the fecal microflora after oral administration of tetracycline hydrochloride and doxycycline for 8 to 10 days were compared. A significant difference was noted in the concentrations of Escherichia coli resistant to tetracyclines. With tetracycline hydrochloride, there was a mean increase of approximately 10(4) resistant strains per g compared to only 10(1)/g for doxycycline. This difference is ascribed to reduced intestinal concentrations of bioactive drug with recommended oral dosage for doxycycline.

The role of mannose sensitive and mannose resistant pili of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infection
In order to study the relationship between hrmolysin / ashesins of Escherichia coli and occurrence of urinary tract infection ( UTI), the capacity of 570 isolated E.coli in agglutination of human or guinea pig erythrocytes and their lysis were tested. These isolates were obtained from the urine of patients with bacteriuria and from the stool of healthy people. Three patterns of hemagglutinat...
متن کاملIdentification of β-Lactamase-Negative-Ampicillin Resistance Strains of Escherichia coli in 150 Isolates from Urinary Tract Infection and Fecal Flora in Kerman
β-lactamases are enzymes which inactivate the β-lactam antibacterial agents and are one of the major causes of resistance against these drugs. Recently there are reports on the isolation of bacteria which does not produce β-lactamase, but are resistant to penicillins. In the present study, β-laclamase production was determined using iodometric method on 150 ampicillin resistance Escherichia col...

Background & Aim: Important challenge for treatment of urinary tract infections is the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Escherichia coli. Therefore, the frequencies of main beta-lactamase genes, resistance to beta-lactams and the ability of ESBLs production in urinary and fecal Escherichia coli of women with urinary tract infections were compared. Methods: In 60 Es...

Aims and Background: E. coli is a normal flora of the human and animal intestine that sometimes causes pathogenesis in the intestine and urinary tract. The aim of this study is to investigate resistance genes in E. coli isolated from toilets in the Islamic Azad University of Mashhad and perform genome sequencing in tetracycline-resistant strains. Methods: This cross-sectional study was perform...

Enterococci are Gram positive and catalase- negative cocci that are found in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals and birds, and are readily isolated from soil, surface and waters. The aim of this study was to discriminate between Enterococcus isolates based on repetitive element sequence based –PCR (Rep-PCR) with the BOXA2R primer and their antibiotics profile. Enterococci isolates were obtai...
