Objective: This study aimed to characterize epidemiological and molecular profile of Healthcare-associated infections [HAI] in 21 intensive care units (ICU) a city Colombia. Methods: Descriptive prevalence. Adult patients were screened ICUs for HAIs: VAP, CLABSI; CAUTI and/or SSI. Microbiological genotypic identification was performed. Results: Prevalence HAIs 41.4% (CI 36.9-45.9).VAP 15.8% 12....

BACKGROUND The global incidence of foodborne infections and antibiotic resistance is recently increased and considered of public health concern. Currently, scarcely information is available on foodborne infections and ESBL associated with poultry and beef meat in Egypt. METHODS In total, 180 chicken and beef meat samples as well as internal organs were collected from different districts in no...

Abstract Background This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of qnr genes among fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli (FREC) isolates from Nigeria. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing performed by disc diffusion technique. Polymerase chain reaction used identify ( E. ) and for detection genes. Results A total 206 non-duplicate were isolated 300 clinical specimens analyzed. In all,...

Municipal wastewater treatment facilities are considered to be "hotspots" for antibiotic resistance, since they conjoin high densities of environmental and fecal bacteria with selective pressure in the form of sub-therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics. Discharged effluents and biosolids from these facilities can disseminate antibiotic resistant genes to terrestrial and aquatic environments,...

Background: The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria have become a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. This study aims to determine phenotypic genotypic antibiotic resistant diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) from patients with diarrhea Ouagadougou, Methodology: Microbiological biochemical analysis were done detect ...

Resistance to quinolones in Gram-negative bacteria is usually mediated by the following: (i) chromosomal mutations that alter the target enzymes, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, in their quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDR), (ii) changes in drug entry (loss of porin channels), and (iii) the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants [qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, qnrC...
