Fecal carriage of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli by community children in southern Taiwan [PDF]
BMC Gastroenterology, 2018 The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli (E. coli), particularly E. coli sequence type ST131, is becoming a global concern. Commensal bacteria, an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes, facilitate the spread of such genes to pathogenic bacterial strains.

Comparison of five selective media for identifying fecal carriage of vancomycin-resistant enterococci [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996 There is no uniformly accepted method for detecting colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The sensitivities of five culture methods were determined for patients known to harbor VRE. Of 189 inpatients, 101 were found to harbor VRE by at least one method. Three methods detected fewer than half of the cultures.

Fecal Carriage of Antimicrobial-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Healthy Korean Adults
Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018 The spread of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in the community is one of the main challenges for antibiotic treatment of community-onset infections. We evaluated the microbiological and molecular characteristics of stool samples from adults with comprehensive health examinations. Of 109 fecal samples, bacterial growth was observed in 86 samples

High Rates of Fecal Carriage of Nonenterococcal vanB in both Children and Adults [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2008 ABSTRACT We examined the rate of fecal carriage of vanB in the absence of cultivable vancomycin-resistant enterococci in three distinct populations (children, community adults, and hemodialysis patients). Nonenterococcal vanB carriage was similarly high in hemodialysis patients (45%)

Social Behavior and Meningococcal Carriage in British Teenagers
, 2006 Understanding predisposing factors for meningococcal carriage may identify targets for public health interventions. Before mass vaccination with meningococcal group C conjugate vaccine began in autumn 1999, we took pharyngeal swabs from ?14,000 UK ...

Carriage and Fecal Counts of CTX-M-Producing Escherichia coli in Pigs: a Longitudinal Study [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013 ABSTRACT Current knowledge on extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in animals is based largely on cross-sectional studies and qualitative data. The aim of this longitudinal study was to elucidate carriage proportions and fecal counts of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli in pigs during the production ...
