The increase of multidrug-resistant bacteria - including Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) has been reported globally. aim this systematic review was to determine the risk factors A. infection, its resistance profile, reservoirs and mortality rates in Brazil. Data from over 3,000 patients were included. Results suggested that is widely transmitted Brazil endemic clones ST1, ST15, ST 25, ST...

Reclaimed wastewater for irrigation is an opportunity for recovery of this natural resource. In this study, microbial risk from the use of treated wastewater for irrigation of recreational parks in the city of Chihuahua, evaluating the effect of distribution distance, season, and presence of storage tanks, was analyzed. Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and multidrug-resistant bacteria were recover...

Abstract The emergence of colistin resistance is one the most serious future issues since it a last‐resort antibiotic used to treat infections caused by multidrug‐resistant (MDR) gram‐negative bacteria, particularly those resistant carbapenems. aquatic environment acts as reservoir for and spread pathogens. transmission plasmid mediated mcr gene important mechanism in gram negative bacteria. Se...

Bacteria isolated from marine sponges found off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were screened for the production of antimicrobial substances. We report a new Pseudomonas putida strain (designated P. putida Mm3) isolated from the sponge Mycale microsigmatosa that produces a powerful antimicrobial substance active against multidrug-resistant bacteria. P. putida Mm3 was identified on the basi...

The increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is a significant threat to human health and is a direct result of the excessive and improper use of these drugs. In 2007, multidrug-resistant bact erial strains infected more than 400,000 people in Europe and 25,000 patients died from the infections [1]. ‘Superbugs’ also have considerable economic impact: extra hospital costs and related prod...

Background: Resistance of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is a condition in which Anti-Tuberculosis (OAT) drugs are unable to kill the germs. One type resistance Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis. (MDR-TB) TB caused by bacteria that resistant 2 types OAT, namely INH and Rifampin. The consequences if OAT deterioration health, increased costs, prolonged treatment, high rates therapy failure death.&#x0D...

Treatment of infections is compromised worldwide by the emergence of bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. Although classically attributed to chromosomal mutations, resistance is most commonly associated with extrachromosomal elements acquired from other bacteria in the environment. These include different types of mobile DNA segments, such as plasmids, transposons, and integrons...

OBJECTIVE There is little information regarding the isolation of antimicrobial-resistant potentially pathogenic bacteria from water and carpets of mosques worldwide. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the bacteriological quality of water and carpets of mosques in Elkhomes city in Libya. METHODS Potentially pathogenic bacteria were isolated from water samples (n=44) and...

Migratory birds are potential vehicles of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Here, we isolated the multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas fluorescens strain BWKM6 from the feces of Mareca penelope The strain's draft genome sequence indicates that it harbors a metallo-beta-lactamase, a class C beta-lactamase, and several multidrug efflux pumps.
