Vaccination approaches for the prevention of urinary tract infection [PDF]

, 2013
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infectious diseases of humans, with approximately 150 million cases estimated to occur globally every year. UTIs usually start as a bladder infection (cystitis), but can develop into acute kidney

Phenotypic and Genotypic Profile of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated at a Teaching Hospital in Ghana

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study identified a significant prevalence of antimicrobial resistance determinants within Enterobacteriaceae isolates, with particular emphasis on those producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBL). These isolates harbored diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons, and virulence factors (VFs), highlighting the imperative for

Influence of Disc Temperature on Ultrafine, Fine, and Coarse Particle Emissions of Passenger Car Disc Brakes with Organic and Inorganic Pad Binder Materials

Atmosphere, 2020
Passenger car disc brakes are a source of ultrafine, fine, and coarse particles. It is estimated that 21% of total traffic-related PM10 emissions in urban environments originate from airborne brake wear particles.

Surface Wipe Sampling of Hazardous Medicinal Products: A European Interlaboratory Comparison Study

Drug Testing and Analysis, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 1955-1964, October 2025.
This study aimed to conduct an interlaboratory comparison (ILC) program to evaluate the performance of European laboratories in detecting hazardous medicinal products (HMPs) from surface wipe samples, using their own sampling and analytical methods.

Antibiotic resistance is linked to carriage of papC and iutA virulence genes and phylogenetic group D background in commensal and uropathogenic Escherichia coli from infants and young children [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2016
P fimbriae, enabling adherence to colonic and urinary epithelium, and aerobactin, an iron sequestering system, are both colonization factors in the human colon and virulence factors for urinary tract infection. The colonic microbiota is suggested to be a site suitable for the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes.

Pathogenic Potential of Invasive Mucosa‐Associated Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Ulcerative Colitis: Characterization of Virulence Factors and Inflammatory Response

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study was conducted in 83 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates showed a higher prevalence of virulence genes (fimH, hcp, fyuA, irp1) compared to non‐UC controls. UC isolates exhibited increased adhesion (29% vs. 8%) and invasion (16% vs.

Pathogenicity of the avian Escherichia coli isolates from pericarditis and femoral head necrosis lesions of the colibacillosis in experimentally infected chicks

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between different combinations of seven (ompT, hlyF, iss, iutA, iroN, tsh and cvaC) Colicin V (ColV) plasmid associated virulence genes (VGs) and pathogenicity of avian E. coli isolates. After
