Antibiotic resistance, prompted by the overuse of antimicrobial agents, may arise from a
variety of mechanisms, particularly horizontal gene transfer of virulence and antibiotic …

In this paper, centrifuge-based microfluidic platforms are reviewed and compared with other
popular microfluidic propulsion methods. The underlying physical principles of centrifugal …

Abstract Background Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are one of the main bacteria
causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). The rates of UPEC with high resistance towards …

This study was conducted to examine a current baseline profile of antimicrobial resistance
and virulence of Escherichia coli isolated from foods commonly sold in the market place in …

Historically, bacteriologists have relied heavily on biochemical and structural phenotypes for
bacterial taxonomic classification. However, advances in comparative genomics have led to …

Nickel uptake and cellular compartmentation were investigated in three Ni
hyperaccumulators: Alyssum bertolonii (Desv), Alyssum lesbiacum (Candargy) and Thlaspi …

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are some of the most common infections in human medicine
worldwide, recognized as an important public health concern to healthcare systems around …

ABSTRACT A combination of uni-and multiplex PCR assays targeting 58 virulence genes
(VGs) associated with Escherichia coli strains causing intestinal and extraintestinal disease …

The mucosa-associated microflora is increasingly considered to play a pivotal role in the
pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. This study explored the possibility that an …

Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains are divided into uropathogenic
E. coli (UPEC), strains causing neonatal meningitis and septicaemic E. coli. The most …
