Serotyping of Escherichia coli in infected urine and its antibiotic sensitivity.

چکیده
Sixty five urine samples of patients suffering from bacteriuria were studied to determine the frequency of occurrence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) serotypes as a causative organism. The later was detected in 100 percent samples. The "OK" antigenic groups encountered were: 0111:K58 (52 strains); 055:K59 (7 strains); 0119:K69 (3 strains); 0128 :K67 (2 strains) and 020a 020c:L61 (1 strain). Colony count revealed more than 10s bacteria in most of the cases. Pathogenicity trials of randomly selected 10 strains of coli were carried out in mice and rabbits. The in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test of E. coli against 16 antibiotics revealed nalidi-xan and gentamycin to be the most effective drugs against the isolated strains of E. coli (JPMA 30:206,1980).

Background & Objective: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is considered to be the most common cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) worldwide. Due to the recent rise in bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the appearance of multidrug-resistant E. coli, treatment options have been significantly limited, thus increasing the cost of treatment as well as morbidity and mortality rates, especially in ...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Escherichia coli is one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired infections. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli strains are resistant to third-generation cephalosporins. The three main genes involved in ESBL production are TEM, SHV and CTX-M. Detection of ESBL-producing E. coli is of importan...

In modern medical processes, new antimicrobial drugs are being widely used in order to rapid and essential eradication of resistant bacterial strains. Broad-spectrum beta-lactamases are enzymes originated from mutations in the common plasmid genes mediators for beta-lactamases such as TEM-1, TEM-2, and SHV-1 are transferred among bacterial species. The genes coding the production of ESBL are of...
