CONCLUSIONS E. coli is the most common micro-organism in patients with obstructing urolithiasis and sepsis. The overall high rates of resistance to fluoroquinolones support the use of piperacillin/tazobactam or ceftriaxone as an empiric agent of choice....
After designing and building the vector harboring the POI, an E. coli expression strain must be chosen. There are many strains that have been engineered for the purpose of heterologous protein expression which are reviewed here [13]. The choice of strain can have a profound impact on protein ...
Therefore, it is the first choice for clinical antibiotic treatment in patients with AP infected with different bac- teria or more complex microbial communities. Patients treated with levofloxacin + metronidazole have the highest survival rate due to the broad antibacterial spectrum of levofloxacin,...
The naturally occurring penicillins remain the drugs of choice for treatingstreptococcalsore throat,tonsillitis,endocarditiscaused by some streptococci,syphilis, and meningococcal infections. Several bacteria, most notablyStaphylococcus, developed resistance to the naturally occurring penicillins, which led to ...
We show that the presence of B. subtilis significantly slows down the selection for the resistant E. coli mutant when NIT is present and that this slowdown is not due to competition for resources. Instead, the dampening of NIT resistance enrichment is largely mediated by extracellular compounds ...
For this purpose combined disk method and double disk method are used .Then TEM and SHY plasmids from 23 specimens of E.coli and Klebsiella were examined using plasmid extraction kit and PCR.Results: The result of this study showed; the antibiotic resistance in 10% of E .coli was ...
A statistically significant decrease in carbapenem susceptibility was observed for both Klebsiella pneumoniae (p = 0.034) and Escherichia coli (p = 0.014). However, while K. pneumoniae had a significant decrease in susceptibility to amikacin (p = 0.022), E. coli exhibited an increase...

The objective of this testing is to detect possible drug resistance in common pathogens and to assure susceptibility to drugs of choice for particular infections. The most widely used testing methods include broth microdilution or alternative rapid automated instrument methods that use commercially ...
The sensitivity means that bacteria cannot be killed by a specific drug/the concentration of the drug [75]. An example can be a urinary tract infection that can be cured by using quinolones as E. coli is sensitive to quinolone. Some antibiotics are bactericidal (that can kill the bacteria)...
