OBJECTIVES Antimicrobial resistance and class 1 integrons found in Escherichia coli isolates from humans and animals in Korea were characterized. METHODS E. coli isolates were examined for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Integrase genes were amplified. Gene cassette regions for classes 1 and 2 integrons were amplified and sequenced. Conjugal transfer and Southern hybridization were pe...

Thirty-three pestiviruses isolated from bovines on different farms in Chile were characterized at the molecular level. The 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR) of the isolates was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and subsequently digested with restriction enzymes (RE) Bgl I, Xho I and Pst I. Furthermore, the isolates were amplified by differential RT-PCR, which se...

A total of 590 clinical isolates consisting of 33 species of both gram-positive and gram-negative anaerobes were collected from nine centers in the Chicago area in 1998-1999. The largest number of isolates (330 isolates, 56%) belonged to the Bacteroides group. Isolates were tested by agar dilution against garenoxacin (BMS-284756, T-3811 ME), trovafloxacin, moxifloxacin, clindamycin, imipenem, p...

Resistance of streptococci to macrolide antibiotics is caused by target-site modification or drug efflux. The phenotypic expression of target-site modification can be inducible or constitutive. The prevalence of the three phenotypes among Belgian erythromycin-resistant Group A streptococci (GAS) and Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates was surveyed, their MICs for seven antibiotics were determined...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological spectrum and antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates in delayed post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. A retrospective review of 33 consecutive patients with culture proven delayed post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis was done from January 2006 to March 2013. There were 22 bacterial and eleven fungal cases. Common isolates were S...

BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginalis is a pathogenic protozoon and may be contaminated with dsRNA virus called Trichomonas vaginalis virus (TVV). The viral infection is an important factor for its pathogenesis and sensitivity to metronidazole. The presence of TVV is associated with qualitative and quantitative expression of cysteine proteinases and surface immunogenic; P270. The purpose of this stu...

Among 120 Escherichia coli isolates from Thai patients, 37 and 9 isolates were extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and suspected ESBL producers respectively while 5 E. coli isolates from 120 Thai healthy adults were suspected ESBL producers. Integrase (intl1) gene was detected in 99% of the clinical and 87% of the non-clinical isolates. Among 37 ESBL producers, percent recovery of bla(TEM),...

Streptococcus ruminantium is a recent reclassification of the former suis serovar 33. Although knowledge about S. extensive, information on host range and pathogenic potential still scarce. This bacterium has been isolated from lesions in domestic ruminants, but there are no reports wild animals. Here, we provide associated with Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) sheep NE Spain, as well phe...

this study was carried out to indicate the number of infected individuals with ear infection from different genders and ages determine antibiotic sociability for swab bacterial isolates. A total 82 swabs were obtained in Erbil City various hospitals labs. Males made up 48 (59%) 81 samples, while females 33 (41%). 0-10 years had most bacteria isolated swabs, followed by 11-20 then 21-40 years. P...

The aim of this study was to determine the rate Pseudomonas species involved in wound infections. Also, susceptibility and resistotyping patterns isolates commonly prescribed antibiotics were also studied. During a period nine months between March November, 2022, total 200 specimens pus or swabs collected from adults patients that went Vin Emergency Hospital Duhok City. samples plated on Blood ...
