Prevalence Of Esbl-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Among Lebanese Patients With Urinary Tract Infections, Rasha Abdallah, Bassel Abdallah
Prevalence Of Esbl-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Among Lebanese Patients With Urinary Tract Infections, Rasha Abdallah, Bassel Abdallah
BAU Journal - Health and Wellbeing
Being the most common infections worldwide, Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) represent a major public health problem. Gram negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing UTIs where Extended spectrum β–lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Enterobacteriaceae, mainly the multi-drug resistant species, such as E. coli sequence type 131 and klebsiella.pneumoniae, account for serious health problems and high economic burden. In Lebanon, data about prevalence of antibiotic resistant pathogens during UTIs are still scarce. In this study we examined the prevalence of ESBL-producing pathogens among Lebanese patients mainly located at Bekaa governorate. This retrospective study included 7241 urine tests that were collected from all the …
Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (Esßl), Ampc And Carbapenemase Activities Andcolistin Resistance Of Salmonella Spp. Isolated From Food Poisoning Cases In Turkey, Si̇bel Kizil
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study aims at detecting antimicrobial resistance properties including extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC, carbapenemase activities (imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem), and colistin resistance of isolated and serotyped Salmonella spp. strains from various foods (mostly chicken and chicken products) that cause food poisoning. The ISO 6579-3 (Kaufmann-White scheme) method was used for serotyping of Salmonella spp. and for detection of antimicrobial resistance with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) as reported by EURL-AR. Inoculums were separated into EUVSEC and EUVSEC2 panels using the Sensititre AIM Automated Inoculation Delivery System. The results were monitored in a semiautomatic vision reader and evaluated according to EUCAST. …

Phylogrouping And Antimicrobial Resistance Analysis Of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia Coli Isolated From Poultry Species, Sujata Bhave, Rahul Kolhe, Ranjan Mahadevaswamy, Chandrakant Bhong, Samir Jadhav, Saba Nalband, Dattatray Gandhale, Dushyant Muglikar
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance pattern of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) in the feces of healthy poultry and retail chicken. All 146 E. coli recovered from 351 samples were screened by PCR for detection of ExPEC strains. Nineteen (13.01%) isolates were confirmed as ExPEC. Distribution of ExPEC strains was revealed as follows: broiler (25%), layer (15.87%), and raw chicken (3.12%). Turkey, duck, and water samples were negative for ExPEC strains. ExPEC strains belonged to phylogenetic groups B2 (52.63%), A (36.84%), and D (10.53%). Twenty-three (15.75%) isolates were ESBL-positive, including four ExPEC strains. ESBL-positive …
