چکیده
shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) can cause a broad spectrum of human illness . the progressive progressive increase in antibiotic resistance among enteric pathogens in developing countries is becoming a critical area of concern. the aim of current study was to determine bacterial resistance pattern of a group of diarrheagenic e. coli to some important antibiotics. the research method was descriptive and observational. isolates of stec were assessed for susceptibility based on minimum inhibitory concentration method (mic). mics were determined by the broth dilution method following the recommendations of the national committee for clinical laboratory, standards (nccls). of the 29 stec isolates, 65.5, 72.4, 58.6, 27.6, 13.8, 20.7, 6.9 percentage were rresistant to amoxicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, cefazolin, ceftriaxon, nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin respectively and all were sensitive to ofloxacin. more than 66% of stec strains were resistant to the 3 commonly used antibiotics with high mic90s. according to our study, amoxicillin, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are not recommended for the treatment of diarrhea in this population. therefore, regional information regarding antibiotic resistance should be used in clinical management, and treatment guidelines should be updated

The present study was conducted to detect the occurrence, serotype, genotype, phylogenetic relationship and antimicrobial resistance pattern of STEC from healthy goats of West Bengal, India. From the 125 faecal samples collected from healthy goats, 245 isolates were identified as Escherichia coli. The E. coli harbouring any gene for Shiga toxins (stx1/stx2) was detected in 36 (14.7%) of the 245...

This present study is the first to report the presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in buffaloes in Iran. A total of 360 fecal samples were collected from buffaloes from different regions in the west Azerbaijan province of Iran and cultured for the isolation of E. coli using routine biochemical tests. From the fecal samples, 340 E. coli were isolated and, of these, 26 STEC i...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. Outbreaks are linked to bovine food sources. STEC O157:H7 has been responsible for the most severe outbreaks worldwide. However, non-O157 serotypes have emerged as important enteric pathogens in several countries. The main virulence factor of STEC is the production of Shig...
