Carbapenemases and Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated from Retail Chicken in Peshawar: First Report from Pakistan.

We report the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases and carbapenemases in Escherichia coli isolated from retail chicken in Peshawar, Pakistan. One hundred E. coli isolates were recovered from retail chicken.

Analysis of rrs gene mutations in amikacin resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Tuberculosis is a major infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Antimicrobial drugs are used to control TB infections. Molecular mechanisms controlling resistance to second-line drugs are not completely understood and no endogenous information is available regarding these mechanisms.
