background and aims: extended-spectrum β-lactamase (esbl) producing gram negative bacteria are resistant to penicillins, narrow and extended-spectrum cephalosporins, and aztreonam; also they are frequently resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, aminoglycosides, and quinolones. this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (pmqr) determinants qnra, ...

Sir, Currently, a variety of qnrA, B and S genes are commonly isolated from clinically important Enterobacteriaceae. Moreover, qnr genes have been detected in non-typhi Salmonella enterica serotypes in Europe, the United States, Africa, Australia and Asia. In a recent study, the presence of qnrA1 in the Netherlands was first detected in a multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae carrying a conj...

The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of carbapenem resistant E. coli and P. aeruginosa in apparently healthy, captive blackbucks leopards India. Faecal samples (n = 7) were processed isolate (CRE) (CRP). Forty (leopards n 26; blackbuck 14) two (blackbuck 2) isolated from faecal 14). Eleven isolates recovered, which 10 CRE one was CRP. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined f...

Background: The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria have become a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. This study aims to determine phenotypic genotypic antibiotic resistant diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) from patients with diarrhea Ouagadougou, Methodology: Microbiological biochemical analysis were done detect ...

BACKGROUND The global incidence of foodborne infections and antibiotic resistance is recently increased and considered of public health concern. Currently, scarcely information is available on foodborne infections and ESBL associated with poultry and beef meat in Egypt. METHODS In total, 180 chicken and beef meat samples as well as internal organs were collected from different districts in no...
