Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Gene Expression of Peroxide Resistant Protein (AhpC) in Planktonic and Biofilm State of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli CellsOmar Sadik Shalal, Ani-Simona SevastreThe gastrointestinal tract seems to be the primary reservoir of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in humans. UPEC strains harbor the Urinary Tract (UT) and cause Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) which might represent a serious threat to human life. To counteract with the damage caused by the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), bacterial strains produce various enzymes and proteins like Alkyl hydroperoxide … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2023 · 5,324 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Urinary Tract Infections and Associated Risk Factors Among Patients Attending Medical City Hospital in Baghdad City, IraqFadhl A.S. Al-Gasha’a, Shayma M. Al-Baker, Jamil M. Obiad, Fadhil A. AlrobiaiUrinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infection in humans and a major cause of morbidity and they are the most common cause of hospital visits worldwide. Proper knowledge in identifying factors associated with urinary tract infection may allow the intervention to easily control of the disease in a timely manner. Therefore, the purpose of the study is … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2020 · 8,254 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultidrug Resistant Uropathogens among Egyptian Pregnant WomenWafaa Salah Metwally, Walid Mohamed ElnagarUrinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in pregnancy is a common medical problem associated with significant increase in the risk of fetal morbidity and mortality. The effective appropriate antimicrobial agent is a major concern as many effective antimicrobial groups cannot be used due to their potential toxicity to the fetus as well as the increasing rates of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) strain isolation. This … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2019 · 7,487 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Banding Pattern Based Identification of Urinary Tract Infection Causing BacteriaPoulomi Nandy, Md Aftabuddin, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriUrinary Tract Infection (UTI) affects all age groups, but women are more susceptible than men. These infections are typically caused by E coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus fecalis and so on. Since uncultivable microbes are numerically abundant in urine samples, culture independent detection seems to be the method of choice for diagnosing UTI. This study … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 8,098 accessesView PDF Cite
