This is because a woman’s urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder) is shorter and closer to the anus than in men, allowing easier entry of bacteria like E. coli into the urethra.Menopause, lowered levels of estrogen, and elevated vaginal pH also increase the risk of a ...
For E coli intra-abdominal abscess, antibiotics must include anaerobic coverage (eg, ampicillin/sulbactam or metronidazole). In severe infection, piperacillin/tazobactam, ertapenem, or meropenem may be used. Combination therapy with antibiotics that cover E coli plus an antianaerobe can also be used ...
Addressing the ongoing antibiotic crisis requires the discovery of compounds with novel mechanisms of action that are capable of treating drug-resistant infections1. Many antibiotics are sourced from specialized metabolites produced by bacteria, particul

We showed that drugs that are commonly used to treat Gram-negative bacterial infections, such as ampicillin and amoxicillin, could enrich both carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and antibiotic-susceptible E. coli in the GI tract, thereby promoting transmission of the blaNDM-1-bearing ...
"But symptoms can vary widely among individuals and may not always respond to conventional therapies, which means it can be challenging to treat. Given that gastroenteritis can disrupt thegut microbiota, the restoration of a healthy microbiota is a potential avenue of treatment." ...
