Molecular characterization of the whole genome in clinical multidrug-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health concern. The spread of AMR-encoding genes between enterobacteria, especially in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, lead to failure in the treatment of most individuals. The aim of this study was to characterize multi-drug resistant (MDR) clinical K.

Occurrence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance and virulence genes in avian Escherichia coli isolates from Algeria.

Introduction: The emergence and spread of quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli in poultry products puts consumers at risk of exposure to the strains of E. coli that resist antibiotic treatment. The objective of this study was to define the prevalence and virulence potential of poultry-associated nalidixic acid (NAL)-resistant E.
