OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli at an equine clinic and a horseback riding centre, and to discuss the impact of antimicrobial treatment on resistance selection. METHODS Faeces from horses, environmental smears and flies were sampled at both the clinic and riding centre. Staff at the equine clin...

Quinolone antibiotics have been commonly used to treat cases of multiple antibiotic resistance. Unfortunately, quinolone so much resisted by infectious bacterial agents. This study aimed evaluate the susceptibility some clinical isolates E. coli and determination plasmid-encoded resistance genes.
 Our results showed plasmid quinolone-resistance genes in following prevalence: qnr genes: S (...

BACKGROUND Salmonella and Shigella cause significant morbidity and mortality among children worldwide. Increased antimicrobial resistance results in greater burden of disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2005 to 2011, Salmonella and Shigella isolates collected from ill children at a major hospital in Yucatan, Mexico, were subjected to serotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk...

Sir, Quinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae usually results from mutations in genes coding for chromosomally encoded type II topoisomerases, efflux pumps or porin-related proteins. Recently, transferable, plasmid-borne, quinolone resistance genes—qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, cr variant of aac(60)-Ib, qepA and oxqB—have been observed in clinical isolates, more frequently among strains producing plasmid...

During investigations on the regulation of the Pax-6 gene, we characterized a cDNA from quail neuroretina showing a 5' untranslated region distinct from that previously described and initiated from an internal promoter. Using RNase protection and primer extension mapping, we localized this second quail Pax-6 promoter, termed P1. As reported for the already described P0 promoter, P1 was also tra...
