Transmission of urinary tract infections into the reproductive system is unavoidable. The present research was performed to assess the distribution of virulence genes, O-serogroups and antibiotic resistance properties of uropathogenic (UPEC) strains isolated from the high vaginal swab samples of fertile and infertile women. A total of 460 high vaginal swab samples were taken from fertile and infertile women.

Purpose: This research was done to assess the genotypic and phenotypic profiles of antibiotic resistance and distribution of Staphylococcus cassette chromosome (SCC) types amongst the MRSA bacteria recovered from raw milk.
Methods: Five-hundred and ninety raw milk samples were collected and examined.
Background: Foodstuffs with animal origins, particularly meat, are likely reservoirs of .
Purpose: An existing survey was accompanied to assess phenotypic and genotypic profiles of antibiotic resistance and genotyping of , and alleles amongst the bacteria recovered from raw meat.
Methods: Six-hundred raw meat samples were collected and cultured.
