Detection of virulence genes of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from raw beef for retail sale in the markets of Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia.

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a highly virulent pathogen that causes food-borne illness, food poisoning, skin and soft tissue infections, abscesses, mastitis, and bacteremia. It is common for meat and meat products to become contaminated with S.

Detection and antibiotic resistance of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli from patients with diarrhea in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Introduction: Diarrheal diseases are common with worldwide distribution, and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) strains are the main causative agents. The present study aimed to define the association of various pathotypes of E. coli from diarrheal patients in Mongolia.

Detection of virulence genes, phylogenetic group and antibiotic resistance of uropathogenic Escherichia coli in Mongolia.

Introduction: The severity of urinary tract infection (UTI) produced by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is due to the expression of a wide spectrum of virulence genes. E. coli strains were divided into four phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D) based on their virulence genes.
