Abstract

The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 572 strains of Escherichia coli were evaluated. The strains were divided according to the biotypes and the differences between the strains towards various antibiotics were examined. We found a correlation between biotype and antibiotype. This correlation lead us to think of a possible existence of more resistant biotypes than others. Now we are doing other studies in order to show if this correlation is constant during time and if similar differences are present for other microorganisms, as well.

Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.
