The gene expression profile of Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 grown in minimal medium supplemented with elevated copper concentrations (as copper-glycine) has been analysed using whole-genome oligonucleotide microarrays. At 750 muM copper-glycine, the expression of both the cue and cus copper-export systems is evident. At near-lethal copper concentrations (2 mM copper-glycine), the expression of ...

results we found a high number of pai markers such as pai icft073, pai iicft073, pai i536, pai iv536, pai ii j96 and pai ii536 significantly associated with upec. the pai iv536 was the most detected ones among fecal e. coli isolated from healthy people while pai i536, pai ii536 and pai ij96 were not seen. pcr phylogenetic groups typing revealed that uropathogenic strains were mainly found in b2...

abstract background: escherichia coli, known as a clinically significant bacteria, can cause a wide range of infections, including urinary tract infections (utis), blood stream infections (bsis), and can frequently be isolated from various clinical specimens. evaluation of antimicrobial resistant pattern is a necessary action, especially about such bacteria which are frequent and life threateni...

background and objectives: the most common serotype of enterohaemorrhagic esherichia coli group or shiga-toxin-producing e. coli is o157:h7. domestic and wild ruminants are regarded as the main natural reservoirs. o157:h7 serotype is the major cause of gastrointestinal infections in developed countries. in this study was conducted to survey on the toxigenic e. coli o157: h7 strains in milk of i...

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in agricultural fields of Gorgan district, Golestan province. Soil samples were collected from 20 agricultural fields, half of them treated with chemical fertilizers and the rest with bovine manure. Two samples, from surface and a depth of 15cm, were taken. After enrichment and culture onto MacConkey agar, Pink colored...

Background and Aims: The rate of urinary tract infection caused by the extended-spectrum-β-lactamase- (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) is increasing worldwide. This study aimed to assess the frequency of blaCTX-M genes in the E. coli isolated from urinary tract infection (UTI) in outpatients. Methods: 240 E. coli bacteria were isolated from the outpatients’ urine samples in the Kerma...

Background: Kebab is one of the popular ready-to-eat foods in Indonesia and sold as a street food. The purpose of this study was to determine occurrence and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli in street-vended kebab in Dramaga, Bogor, Indonesia. Methods: Totally, 43 samples of kebab meat were collected from street food kebab vendors. Examinations on Total Plate Count (TPC), and total E. ...
