Abstract Background Patients with prostate enlargement have an increased risk of recurrent urinary tract infections. This study determined the resistance profile bacteria causing infection (UTI) and magnitude multidrug-resistant (MDR) among patients symptomatic in a tertiary hospital Dar es Salaam. Methods cross-sectional was conducted at Muhimbili National Hospital between August 2021 January ...

E. coli is the main agent of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and accounts for more than 85% of recurrent cystitis and at least 35% of recurrent pyelonephritis. Despite the widespread availability of antibiotics, UTIs remain the most common bacterial infection in the human population. It is currently advised that the clinical administration of antibiotics against the pathogenic bac...

Antibiotic resistance is a major problem and the greatest challenge to both hospitals in community. Initially, antibiotic-resistant strains were found hospital environment only, but now they can be present everywhere. It was therefore decided conduct short-term study on Andrographis paniculata's ability inhibit growth of some most resistant bacteria Doon Valley. Antimicrobial activity paniculat...

Background: Infections with resistance bacteria threatens the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment with increased morbidity, mortality and hospital costs. Rapid emergence of multi-drug resistance necessitates monitoring microbial isolates with their resistance pattern. During 2015-16, this study conducted in Square hospital ICU to see pattern of pathogens, their antimicrobial resistance and pr...

Multidrug (Mdr) transporters are membrane proteins that actively export structurally dissimilar drugs from the cell, thereby rendering the cell resistant to toxic compounds. Similar to substrate-specific transporters, Mdr transporters also undergo substrate-induced conformational changes. However, the mechanism by which a variety of dissimilar substrates are able to induce similar transport-com...

Abstract. Anelia N, Suhartono S, Hayati Z. 2023. Abundance and phenotypic-genotypic analysis of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from wastewater the Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 2294-2301. Excessive inappropriate use antibiotics can initiate emergence antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is believed to be a reser...

Increasing trend of antibiotic resistance and expression of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBLs) are serious threats for public health as they render the treatment ineffective. Present study was designed to elucidate the antibiotic-susceptibility patterns of ESBL and non-ESBL producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae causing urinary tract infections so that the ineffective antibiotics could be r...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the occurrence and molecular characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase (pAmpC) and carbapenemases among ESBL-producing multidrug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli from dogs and cats in the United States. METHODS Of 2443 E.coli isolated from dogs and cats collected between August 2009 and January 2...

multidrug resistant (mdr) bacteria are spread through the world which causes nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care unit (icu). this study aimed to investigate resistance pattern of pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterobacter cloacae isolated from patients in icu. during 2011-2012, 30 isolates for each p. aeruginosa and e. cloacae were collected from patients who acquired nosocomial in...
