204 samples were collected from various body samples
during the year 2016. These 204 samples distributed as
follows: 133 from urine , 37 swabs of wounds and burns,
10 swabs from the ear and pharynx, 12 from feces, 8
from CSF, 4 from blood. This s
tudy distinctly showed that
gram negative bacilli were the most isolates 136 (67%)
while 68 isolates (33%) were gram positive bacteria .
E. coli dominated (39.68%) of the total gram negative
bacilli.
This study distinctly showed an increase in the ratio of
E. coli resistance to one or more types of antibiotics , we
found that E. coli resistance to all antibiotics except
specific and expensive antibiotics, and we found that its
complete resistance to the second ,third and fourth
generation of cephalosporins , resistance to specific and
antibiotics such as Imipenem.
The objective of this investigation was to determine the effective of
microwave radiation on Escherichia coli contaminating milk and in white cheese manufactured of milk by traditional method.
This research was conducted in the laboratories of Faculty of Agriculture –
Damascus University Department of Food Sciences. The aim of this research
was to study the inhibition effect of the growth and activity of Lactic acid
bacteria as starter
in yoghourt, on the growth of E. coli O157:H7 bacteria. A
pure strains of E. coli O157:H7 and Lactic acid bacteria was used for this study.
The effect of Lactic acid bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus and
Lactobacillus bulgaricus ) in the number of E. coli O157:H7 was studied in 37 ◦C
and 4◦C. The Lactic acid bacteria was inoculeted in milk which was prepared to
manufacture the yoghurt. The number of E. coli O157:H7 was gradually
decreased with the time. The decline number of this bacteria was clear when S.
thermophilus and Lb. bulgaricus were used as a mixture starter , then when Lb.
bulgaricus was used as a single starter then S. thermophilus was used a single,
In the other hand, the inhibition effect was weaker at 37 C and stronger on 4 C.
Fifty-one female and thirty-three male patients who suffered from UTI and
attended Al-Thawra General Hospital at Ibb City in Yemen, were examined
for the effects of different antibiotics on E. coli isolated from the mid-stream
urine samples.
The
results showed a variable degree of resistance revealed by E. coli
isolates. It ranged between ١٠٠٪ ((against Penicillin G and Ampicillin) and zero
resistance ((against Kanamycin, Ciprofloxacin, and Gentamicin). Other tested
antibiotics showed resistance ranging between ٤٠ and ٣,٣٤٪.
