Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are often caused by Escherichia coli. Their increasing resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics challenges the treatment of UTIs. Whereas, E. coli ST131 is often multidrug resistant (MDR), ST69 remains susceptible to antibiotics such as cephalosporins. Both STs are commonly linked to community and nosocomial infections. E. coli phylogenetic groups B2 and D are as...

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteria has become a considerable global concern because of their potential dissemination in humans, in domestic animals, wildlife and the environment. The present study aimed to explore the ESBL producing  enterobacteria in aquatic sources of Bangladesh as the water may be the potential source of dissemination of this alarming ant...

OBJECTIVES To screen methanolic leaf extracts of 21 timber-yielding plants for antibacterial activity against nine species of uropathogenic bacteria isolated from clinical samples of a hospital (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginos...

Background and Aim: Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria can avoid the mechanisms of action antibiotic drugs, resulting in a reduced activity. This is dangerous for animals humans because treatment infectious diseases take longer may even lead to failure. Bacteria meat be cause meat-borne consumers. study aimed determine profile Escherichia coli from broiler slaughtered several local gove...

background :    unfortunately, antibiotic resistance has become an increasingly critical problem in many countries like iran. since there are very few published data on antibiotics resistance in alborz province, the aim of this study was to survey the pattern of antimicrobial resistance and prevalence detection of tem-type beta-lactamases among clinical isolates of escherichia coli using univer...

Background: Higher prevalence of ESBL producers is alarming in dairy sector. So limiting antimicrobial use may curtail the selection and persistence predominant conjugative plasmids among strains. The study was aimed to determine occurrence extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli as well their genetic diversity, resistance integrons bovines. Methods: A total 180 faecal samples...

Bacteria from animals raised for food that have developed antimicrobial resistance (AMR) may serve as a vehicle its transmission animal to human. Nevertheless, the antibiotic profile of Escherichia coli raw meat is scarcely reported, especially in North Sumatra. The aim this investigation was investigate retail presence E. and pattern. We purchased 80 packages fresh products four traditional ma...

This study determined the antimicrobial resistance profiles of Escherichia coli isolates from dogs with a presumptive diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI). Urine samples from 201 dogs with UTI diagnosed through clinical examination and urinalysis were processed for isolation of Escherichia coli. Colonies from pure cultures were identified by biochemical reactions (n=114) and were tested f...

Fluoroquinolones are widely used in both community and hospital settings. E.coli exhibits multiple resistant mechanisms; recent studies showed that multidrug resistant (MDR) efflux mechanism is most common. The effects of MDR inhibitors of the RND efflux pumps, Reserpine 25 μg/ml and MC 207, 110 (Phe-Arg-beta-naphthylamide (PaβN), Sigma) 25 μg/ml, on the MIC of fluoroquinolones for clinical iso...
