waterborne outbreaks of pathogenic bacteria from contaminated water are serious threats forpublic health. coliform bacteria have been regarded as one of the most important indicators for monitoringpathogenic bacteria. to address potential pathogenic bacterial outbreaks, the distribution and diversity ofcoliform bacteria in jiahe river, which flows through densely-populated urban area in china, ...

the purpose of this work was to test the efficiency of the treatment of wastewater by infiltrationunder laboratory conditions, to remove bacterial and organic load and to convert it to available nutrient for crop plants. in order to achieve this objective, polyvinyl chloride (pvc) columns of 133 cm of height were used. the columns were filled with sand and/or pozzolana and loaded with municipal...

conclusions our data showed that, the high prevalence of beta-lactamase genes among isolates, and it. our findings may provide useful insights in replace of the appropriate antibiotics and it may also prevents of esbls, mediated resistance problem. results from 145 strains of e. coli, 51(35.2%) and 61(42.1%) isolates were resistance to ceftazidime and cefotaxime, respectively. esbl production w...

background mycobacterium tuberculosis is a vicious microbe co-existing with the infected host. this pathogen exploited opportunities to spread during periods of urbanization and social upheaval, and got retreated with improved hygiene. objectives this investigation was designed to clone and characterize m. tuberculosis mutt gene, a homologue of a dna repair protein in escherichia coli. the aim ...

conclusions the results showed that e. coli isolated from patients with uti had eight virulence factors with high frequencies. moreover, these results alleged a direct connection between virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance in e. coli. results the frequency of virulence factors papc, afa, sfa/foc, fimh, hly, neuc, ibea, and iucc were 53.3%, 51.7%, 53.3%, 56.7%, 23.3%, 31.7%, 20%, and ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Diarrhea is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, specially in developing countries. One of the most important causative agents of bacterial diarrhea is diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) which causes gastroenteritis and this group involving enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), enterohemoragic E...

BACKGROUND Childhood diarrheal diseases remain highly endemic in developing areas of Brazil. The importance of Escherichia coli among children with diarrhea in these areas was unknown. This study determined the prevalence of different E. coli categories in symptomatic and asymptomatic children from low socioeconomic level rural communities in southeastern Brazil. METHODS A total of 560 stool ...

in this study 130 bulk tank milk samples which were delivered to the pegah pasturisation factory inmashhad were collected randomly during the summer months. samples were firstly enriched in modifiedtrypticase soy broth containing novobiocin, followed by plating onto sorbitol macconkey agar supplementedwith cefixime and potassium tellurite for isolation of escherichia coli o157:h7. consequently ...

conclusions: with respect to the obtained results and regarding to the daily increase of the resistant microbial strains to the commercial antibiotics, it can be concluded that these extracts can be proper candidates of antibacterial substance against pathogenic bacterial species especially s. aureus, e. coli, k. pneumoniae and s. epidermidis. results: the extract of c. fistula was effective ag...

Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) is frequently used for infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR)-Enterobacterales isolates. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS, Illumina-Hiseq 4000/NovaSeq 6000, OGC, UK) was to study the population structure, resistome and virulome of C/T-susceptible -resistant MDR Escherichia spp. (n=30) Klebsiella (n=78) isolates, recovered from lower respiratory, intra-abdominal ...
