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 ...

escherichia coli (e. coli) is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, including humans. phylogenetic analysis has shown that e. coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (a, b1, b2 and d). group a and b1 are generally associated with commensals, whereas group b2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotypes. most enteropathogenic isolates, however, are assigne...

infectious diseases are responsible for thousands of worldwide early death .many commercial antibiotics have been used to control human's infectious diseases all over the world. calotropis procera linn a wild growing plant of asclepiadaecae family is known to possess multifarious medicinal properties. total 80 non repetitive clinical e. coli strains recovered during 7 month, and were screened f...

background uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) is a causative agent of most of urinary tract infections (utis), which expresses a multitude of virulence factors. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate virulence associated characteristics characteristics in upec isolates derived from urine specimens, and to investigate the distribution of the pathogenicity islands virulence marker...

background : enteroaggregative e. coli (eaec) is increasingly recognized as a cause of often persistent diarrhea in children and adults in both developing and developed countries. the aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and the frequency of eaec as etiologic agent of diarrhea in shiraz. methods : a total of 715 stool samples were collected from patients with diarrhea in shi...
