Increasing Resistance in Commensal Escherichia coli, Bolivia and Peru
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fi rst confi rmed case of chikungunya fever on Rodrigues Island was reported in February, followed by 56 cases in March, 393 in April, and >80 in May (9). The increase in CDRs reported for the Republic of Mauritius during the chikungunya epidemic is similar to the fi ndings reported for the neighboring island of Réunion (10). Excess deaths in Réunion and the Republic of Mauritius coincided with the epidemic curve of the chikungunya fever outbreak, which suggested an association between these 2 factors. No other events that may have negatively affected the health of persons living in the Republic of Mauritius in 2006 were reported. However, because information on cause of death is unavailable, studies are needed to confi rm that the chikungunya fever outbreak contributed to increased CDRs in 2006.

Using a rapid screening method, we investigated the prevalence of fecal carriage of antimicrobial drug-resistant Escherichia coli in 3,174 healthy children from 4 urban settings in Peru and Bolivia. High resistance rates were observed for ampicillin (95%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (94%), tetracycline (93%), streptomycin (82%), and chloramphenicol (70%). Lower resistance rates were observed...

Background and Objective: Escherichia coli strains are the major cause of urinary tract infections which belong to the large group of extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli. They fall into four main phylogenetic groups: A, B1, B2 and D. The aim of the present study was to determine phylogenetic groups in uropathogenic and commensal Escherichia coli isolated. Also, due to increase in the rate of an...

متن کاملMultidrug resistant commensal Escherichia coli in animals and its impact for public health
After the era of plentiful antibiotics we are alarmed by the increasing number of antibiotic resistant strains. The genetic flexibility and adaptability of Escherichia coli to constantly changing environments allows to acquire a great number of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. Commensal strains of E. coli as versatile residents of the lower intestine are also repeatedly challenged by antimi...
متن کاملIdentification of Commensal Escherichia coli Genes Involved in Biofilm Resistance to Pathogen Colonization
Protection provided by host bacterial microbiota against microbial pathogens is a well known but ill-understood property referred to as the barrier effect, or colonization resistance. Despite recent genome-wide analyses of host microbiota and increasing therapeutic interest, molecular analysis of colonization resistance is hampered by the complexity of direct in vivo experiments. Here we develo...
