BACKGROUND Most urinary tract infections (UTI) are caused by Escherichia coli. Integrons have an important role in distributing antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of class 1, 2 and 3 integrons and their association with antibiotic resistance in E. coli isolated from patient with UTI in Yasuj, Iran. PATIENTS AND METHOD...

OBJECTIVE Bacterial multidrug-resistance (MDR) to antimicrobials has become an important public health issue all over the world and it involves both hospital and community-acquired strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS A number of 75 Escherichia coli and 77 Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.) strains identified in biological samples collected from community (CA) and hospital-acquired (HA) infections were fou...

OBJECTIVE To investigate faecal contamination and safety of Rastrineobola argentea sold in retail markets in Kisumu town. DESIGN This was a repeated cross sectional study and based on random sampling. SETTING Kisumu city, targeting six markets; Oile, Jubilee, Kibuye, Kondele, Nyalenda and Manyatta. RESULTS A total of 60 fish samples were analysed. All the fish were found to be contaminate...

AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of 10 volatile oils extracted from medicinal plants, including galangal (Alpinia galanga Linn.), ginger (Zingiber officinale), plai (Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.), lime (Citrus aurantifolia), kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.), sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum Linn.), tree basil (Ocimum gratissimum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus D...

Ceftolozane/tazobactam, a novel antimicrobial agent with activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (including drug-resistant strains) and other common Gram-negative pathogens (including most extended-spectrum-β-lactamase [ESBL]-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains), and comparator agents were susceptibility tested by a reference broth microdilution method against 7,071 Enterobacteriaceae and 1,97...

Industrial food animal production plays an essential role in the global supply chain. In parallel with growth of Sri Lankan poultry sector, antimicrobial usage has also been increased aim reducing disease incidents. The development resistance due to irrational use antimicrobials is a problem. Commensals like Escherichia coli (E. coli) can easily acquire and transfer pathogenic zoonotic bacteria...

As part of the Tigecycline Evaluation and Surveillance Trial (T.E.S.T) we report the in vitro activity of tigecycline and its comparators against Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms collected from Italian centers between 2012 and 2014. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined according to the broth microdilution methodology of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, and ...

The objective of this study is to determine the in vitro susceptibility of Georgian bacteriophage cocktails on multidrug resistant (MDR) extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) isolated from patients' blood and urine cultures. A total of 615 E. coli isolates were included in this study. Phene Plate (PhP)-typing and phylogenetic grouping were used for the typing. An...

The purpose of this study was to obtain Escherichia coli isolates from 11 se’i meat sellers in Kupang City and observe their resistance to13 types antibiotics. were isolated identified based on SNI 2897: 2008. Antibiotic the colii determined using Kirby-Bauer method. results showed that 13 (39.39%) samples had a high level erythromycin (100%), tetracycline (76.92%), doxycycline (61.54%). Isolat...
