Combinatorial small-molecule therapy prevents uropathogenic Escherichia coli catheter-associated urinary tract infections in mice [PDF]

, 2012
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) constitute the majority of nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) and pose significant clinical challenges.

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

Antimicrobial Adaptation in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2020
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) make up the largest proportion of hospital acquired infections. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are a major causative agent of CAUTI partially due to the bacteria’s ability to form biofilms on the catheter surface in addition to their extensive array of virulence factors that facilitate ...

O-Antigen-Dependent Colicin Insensitivity of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2019
Escherichia coli infections can be a major health burden, especially with the organism becoming increasingly resistant to “last-resort” antibiotics such as carbapenems. Although colicins are potent narrow-spectrum antimicrobials with potential as future antibiotics, high levels of naturally occurring colicin insensitivity have ...

Antibiotic resistance, virulence factors and genotyping of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2018
The way of treating different types of infectious diseases is really important. Using genotyping method, we can determine the genetic relatedness between the organisms with different resistance profile from different sources. The aim of this study was to

Biofilm formation, antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence genes of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from clinical isolates in Uganda

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Uropathogenic E. coli is the leading cause of Urinary tract infections (UTIs), contributing to 80–90% of all community-acquired and 30–50% of all hospital-acquired UTIs. Biofilm forming Uropathogenic E.

Dissecting HOCl Action in Chronic Wound Biofilms: Proteomic Insights From a Host‐Relevant Model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Impact statement: We tested a gel containing a pure, stable form of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) against P. aeruginosa. To ensure our results reflect the true effects of HOCl we used a host‐relevant biofilm model. The HOCl gel disrupted bacterial metabolism, impacted proteins associated with virulence, and changed the abundance antibiotic resistance ...

Comparative Genomics of Escherichia coli Isolated from Skin and Soft Tissue and Other Extraintestinal Infections [PDF]

, 2017
Escherichia coli, an intestinal Gram-negative bacterium, has been shown to be associated with a variety of diseases in addition to intestinal infections, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), meningitis in neonates, septicemia, skin and soft tissue ...
