Molecular characterization and prevalence of shiga toxigenic E. Coli isolated from children under 5 years in the Molecular Laboratory, Makerere University
(Makerere University, 2020-12)
Background: Foodborne infections are a public health concern Worldwide. Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is one often most important strain of threat in the food system particularly in children where diarrheal ...
Prevalence of extended spectrum beta lactamase resistance genes (CTX-M and TEM) among Escherichia coli isolates from Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital
(Makerere University, 2022-02)
Introduction
ESBL producing bacteria prevalence is on the rise and ESBL producing E.coli have been implicated in many urinary tract infections as well as septicemia. Such infections may result in prolonged hospital stays, ...
Co–resistance between Flouroquinolones, Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (SXT), and aminoglycosides with extended spectrum B–lactameses (ESBLS) in Eschericia coli isolated from blood, pus and urine specimens at Makerere University Clinical Microbiology Laboratory
(Makerere University, 2023)
Background
The global emergence and spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae have been threatening the ability to treat an infection. Hence, this study aimed to determine co – ...
Prevalence of CTXM gene in isolates of enterobacteriaceae collected from the Microbiology Laboratory
(Makerere University, 2022)
Multi drug resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a common cause of hospital and community acquired infections. Enterobacteriaceae are gram negative bacteria like E. coli, Klebsiella Pneumoniae are pathogenic organisms causing ...
