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 ...

Background: Various strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) are known as major causes of intestinal and extraintestinal infections in humans and various animal species. Molecular methods are important for the identification of bacterial isolates and nucleotide sequence variations, as well as information on tracking bacterial agents related to the outbreaks, the frequency of the bacterial genetic ...

conclusions the results indicate that the rates of esbls are high in urine e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates from tehran hospitals. also this study indicates that the urine isolates from male patients are significantly more resistant than the female isolates. materials and methods a total of 190 e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates were collected from patients’ urine samples in hospitals from te...

Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most important infectious agents in patients undergoing prostate biopsy. It belongs to a large family of gram-negative rods, Enterobacteriaceae. This family includes members of the normal flora of the intestine that are only occasionally pathogenic. Recent considerations of rectal colonization with fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli shows the ...

to determine the contamination of traditional cheeses to e. coli o157:h7 this study was conducted in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province. two hundred cheeses samples were obtained randomly and bacteriological examinations were done on all isolates, by culture in selective enrichment media and after that, selective plating. suspected colonies were examined with o and h antisera for identification...

shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) are food-borne pathogens primarily associated with the consumption of contaminated ground beef and are an important food safety concern worldwide. stec has been found to produce a family of related cytotoxins known as shiga toxins (stxs). shiga toxins have been classified into two major classes, stx1 and stx2. a single strains of stec can produce st...
