Background and Objective: Today, one of the problems of health systems is the presence of cockroaches in hospitals as insects that move freely in and out of the hospitals and are infected with pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study was to identify carbapenem resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated from Blattella germanica by dot blot assay in Hamadan hospitals in the west of Iran. Me...

Background. Enterobacteriaceae species are important pathogens responsible for a wide variety of serious infections. The tendency of these organisms to develop or acquire resistance to key antimicrobials can lead to MDR strains for which the therapeutic choices are limited. Therefore, tracking and profiling MDR strains is an important aspect of any surveillance initiative. In this study data fr...

This study was conducted in order to assess the antimicrobial resistance patterns of E. coli isolated from young animals affected between 1980 and 2016. The selected isolates for this study (n=175) carried stx1/stx2 genes and the most prevalent type of pathogenic E. coli found belonged to serogroup O101, antigen (K99)-F41 positive. All STEC-positive isolates were tested for susceptibility to 11...

The objective of this work was the phylogenetic characterization of local clinical isolates of uropathogenic E. coli with respect to drug resistance. A total of 59 uropathogenic E. coli responsible for community acquired urinary tract infections were included in this study. A triplex PCR was employed to segregate each isolate into four different phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D). Drug resis...

The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance, clinical features, and risk factors for septic shock and death of nosocomial E coli bacteremia in adult patients in a single hematological center in China. A retrospective case-control study of 157 adult hematological patients with 168 episodes of E coli bacteremia was initiated from April 2012 to July 2015. An...

A total of 147 E. coli strains were isolated from food samples and clinical specimens. The prevalence of E. coli in clinical specimens was much higher than in food samples. The antibiotic resistance profile of these strains was determined against 7 classes of antimicrobial agents (26 different members). Almost 90% of E. coli strains were resistant to at least one of the tested antibiotics. The ...

In the alarming context of antibiotic resistance, we explored antibacterial potential French mushrooms against wild-type and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. order to accelerate discovery promising compounds, screenings were carried out by TLC-direct bioautography. A total 70 extracts from 31 mushroom species evaluated five bacteria: Staphylococcus epidermidis, aureus, Enterococcus faecalis,...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential essential oil (EO) from L. origanoides against Gram-negative bacteria with multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype and correlate results obtained genetic profile these microorganisms. extracted leaves plant by steam dragging condensation Clevenger equipment, chemical components were identified quantified gas chromatography cou...

background: ampc and esbls as mediated-plasmid extended spectrum β-lactabases are the main factors of resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in enterobacteriacea especially e. coli and will follow treatment failure, high costs of treatment in human and economic losses in the poultry industry. objectives: the purpose of this study was to screen and study the faecal e. coli isolates produ...

This prospective case-control study was conducted from October 2003 to June 2007 to evaluate risk factors for multidrug resistance among extended-spectrum-b-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. (ESBL-EK) isolates in blood cultures. All adult patients (>18 years old) whose blood cultures grew ESBL-EK during the study period were included. An ESBL-EK isolate was defined as MDR...
