Multi-Drug Resistant Urinary Tract Infection: An Emerging Health Issue

Prevalence of plasmid-encoded carbapenemases in multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli from patients with urinary tract infection in northern Iran

Objective(s): Resistance to carbapenems as the last line for controlling resistant bacteria is increasing due to production of carbapenemase. The aim of this study was to detect the plasmid-encoded carbapenemases using phenotypic methods and multiplex PCR among the multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) in northern Iran.<br...

Emergence of Multi Drug Resistant Strains of E. Coli Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection in Namakkal

In this study we evaluated the multi drug resistant strains of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection in different age groups in Namakkal. Totally 153 isolates of E.coli were obtained from 700 urine samples. Present study indicates that there is a high prevalence of multidrug resistant E. coli in female 24.34% followed by male 18.14%. After confirmation, isolates were performed ...

Significance of Prior Culture History for Predicting Urinary Tract Infection Caused by Multi-drug Resistant Enterobacteriaceae

Prevalence of the Multi-Drug Resistant Gram- Negative Bacilli in Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

In the recent past years, UTI has emerged as most commonly acquired infection that may cause serious life threatening issues, if progressed to the kidneys. Therefore, appropriate knowledge regarding the resistant pathogens is required to deal with the urinary tract infection. Thus, the intended study was carried out in the microbiology department of the Pakistan institute of medical sciences (P...

Emergence of Multi Drug Resistant Strains of Eschetichia coli Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection

A current phenomenon of great concern among the medical communities in developing countries is rising multi-drug resistant organisms, and the challenges of curing the infections in children. In this study, we evaluated the multi drug resistant strains of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection in children in southern Iran. Totally, 90 strains of E. coli were collected from urine ...
