چکیده

The ampicillin resistance locus of three different ampicillin-resistant, temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli mutants was mapped between proC and purE and does not correspond to any of the known genes in this region. The mutant gene responsible for the temperature sensitivity and consequent morphological changes in each mutant strain was not located in the same 5-min region, even though the two mutants characteristics co-reverted at a very high frequency.

Identification 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 and objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most prevalent infection and Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the main causes of UTI worldwide. Integrons are mobile genetic elements considered to be responsible for dissemination of multi-drug resistance infections. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the antibiotic resistance patterns and distribution of cl...
