The aim of this study was to characterize the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes and plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants in 202 Escherichia coli isolates from chickens in Anhui Province, China, and to determine whether ESBL and PMQR genes co-localized in the isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibility for 12 antimicrobials was determined by broth mic...

background and objectives: infection is the most common problem following burn injury. selection and dissemination of intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms increase the probability of burn wound colonization by resistant species including pseudomonas aeruginosa. multi-drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa has frequently been reported as the cause of nosocomial outbreaks of infection in b...

background : the emergence and increase in the incidence of extended-spectrum beta lactamase (esbl) producing escherichia coli has become an emerging challenge especially in hospitalized patients with uti. the aim of the present study was to survey the frequency of bla ctx-m genotype in esbl producing e. coli isolated from hospitalized patients with uti and determination of their antibiotic res...

In this study, we attempted to isolate Escherichia coli from healthy adults in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and characterized its antimicrobial resistance profile, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genotype, phylogenetic grouping and virulence gene profile. A total of 103 E. coli isolates were obtained, and most of them were antimicrobial resistant such to streptomycin (80.6%), tetracycline (6...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to describe the geographical and seasonal distributions of reported human Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) definitive type 104 (DT104) cases, to compare these characteristics to those of non-DT1 04 cases, and to investigate specific antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns in four Canadian provinces. METHODS All laboratory-confirmed ST cases originating from pass...

BACKGROUND The extensive use of the β-lactam antibiotics in hospitals and in the community has created major resistance problems which has led to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. The use of the β-lactamase inhibitors in combination with the β-lactam antibiotics is currently the most successful strategy used for circumventing the resistance mechanisms. OBJECTIVE To evaluate...

Urinary tract infections are considered of great relevance among bacterial origin as one the third most important worldwide. These caused by bacteria belonging to Enterobacteriaceae family, such Escherichia coli, which is frequently isolated uropathogen. The objective was determine level resistance cefotaxime and ceftazidime in strains from urinary infections. Material methods. study were patie...

Bacterial agents must be genotypically analyzed for vaccinations, effective control programs, and antimicrobial resistance genes that could transfer from aquaculture settings to terrestrial ecosystems and humans. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence, genotypic characterization, and antimicrobial resistance of Lactococcus garvieae for two years at aquaculture sites throughout Turkey. A tota...

Background Campylobacter is considered to be the leading cause of human bacterial gastroenteritis, of which poultry is the main reservoir. Campylobacter contaminated chicken products are a major cause of human Campylobacter infection. In this study, the prevalence of Campylobacter in chicken in central China was investigated, and the genotypic diversity, antimicrobial resistance and biofilm of ...

Salmonella enterica is the principal causative agent of salmonellosis, a threat to human health. Because its high antimicrobial resistance potential, has become worrisome, mostly in developing countries where hygiene and usage are defective. This study aimed determine epidemiology intestinal carriage Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase producing from chickens poultry farmers Dschang, town western reg...
