Re: Intermingled Klebsiella pneumoniae Populations between Retail Meats and Human Urinary Tract Infections.
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common colonizer of the gastrointestinal tract of humans, companion animals, and livestock. To better understand potential contributions of foodborne K. pneumoniae to human clinical infections, we compared K. pneumoniae isolates from retail meat products and human clinical specimens to assess their similarity based on antibiotic resistance, genetic relatedn...
متن کاملEvaluation of antibiotic resistance associated with ophthalmic oqxAB pumps in Klebsiella pneumoniae causing urinary tract infection
Background: The urinary tract infection is the secondary most common human infection. Colon bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumonia, are the main cause of urinary tract infections. The occurrence of the antibiotic resistance is a major problem in the treatment of infections. Beta- lactamases and efflux pumps constitute the major defense mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumon...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Pattern and the Prevalence of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) in Urinary Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae
Abstract Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen causing a variety of infections including urinary tract infections, pneumonia, septicemia, wound infections and infections in the intensive care units. Since the ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are increasingly causing urinary tract infections, we aim to assess antibiotic resistance pat...
متن کاملComparison of Congo Red Agar methods and tube turbidity in biofilm formation in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from cases of urinary tract infections in Samen Al-Aeme Hospital Bojnourd
Introduction Biofilm can be called a bacterial community that often forms on living or non-living surfaces and is common in natural, industrial, and hospital environments. Klebsiella pneumoniae as a pathogen has the potential to produce biofilms. Understanding biofilm formation in biofilm-forming bacteria is important. The aim of this study was to investigate the biofilm formation in isolates ...
متن کاملStudy of Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern and Frequency of Extended Spectrum β-lactamases Genes TEM and SHV in Urinary Tract Isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Tabriz
Background & objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common types of human infections and Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia are the main causes of urinary tract infection among the gram negative bacteria. The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) among these bacteria and hence resistant strains to β-lactam antibiotics have increased in recent decades...
