Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common microbial infection found in all ages and sexes
which involves inflammation of the urinary tract. These infections can range from simple …

While the description of resistance to quinolones is almost as old as these antimicrobial
agents themselves, transferable mechanisms of quinolone resistance (TMQR) remained …

Background Qnr genes are known to confer a low-level resistance to fluoroquinolone in
Enterobacteriaceae. They are often found on the same resistance plasmids as extended …

Abstract Background Infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae are mainly treated with the β-
lactam antibiotics, nevertheless, the emergence of species with plasmid-borne β-lactamases …

The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains and even pan drug resistant (PDR)
strains is alarming. In this study, we studied the resistance pattern of E. coli pathogens …

Antibiotic resistance occurs when microorganisms resist the drugs used against the infection
caused by them and neutralize their effects over time using various mechanisms. These …

Background Fluoroquinolones are commonly recommended as treatment for urinary tract
infections (UTIs). The development of resistance to these agents, particularly in gram …

Background Quinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are used for the treatment of
different infectious diseases associated with Enterobacteriaceae. During recent decades …

Though emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria in the environment is a demonstrated
worldwide phenomenon, limited research is reported about the prevalence of resistant …

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are associated with the emergence of multidrug resistance
in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. This study …
