Article Abstract

Background: , frequently abbreviated as , is a common gastrointestinal tract inhabitant in both people and animals. It may also be found in soil, aquatic settings, and plants.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to identify the frequency and three susceptibilities of in various clinical samples taken from patients in the Jazan area.

Materials And Methods: Using a multi-center approach, this retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed the results of culture and antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates from urine, wound swabs, and sputum samples. The study covered the period from January 2023 to December 2023 and included all public and private hospitals in the Jazan region.

Results: The majority of isolates were derived from urine samples in 1161 patients (85.49%), followed by pus in 123 patients (9.06%) and sputum in 74 patients (5.45%). There were high sensitivity rates to Amikacin, Tigecycline, and Imipenem by (97.49%), (90.87%), and (90.35%), respectively, while there were high resistance rates to Norfloxacin, Ampicillin, and Cefotaxime by (93.67%), (79.60%), and (71.65%), respectively.

Conclusion: There was considerable resistance to commonly used antibiotics among germs isolated from several clinical specimens. Antibiotics, including imipenem, amikacin, and nitrofurantoin, demonstrated the highest efficacy against isolates. Nalidixic acid, cefexime, and ceftriaxone showed efficacy against ; nevertheless, several clinical isolates exhibited resistance.

Using the stable synthetic analogue 3-aza-dehydroxylysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (3adLPG), the putative role of native staphylococcal LPG in inhibiting the antibiotic daptomycin from binding to its target phosphatidylglycerol (PG), was investigated with respect to interfacial interactions between these lipids, daptomycin, and calcium ions. The influence of lipid monolayer/bilayer composition and interfacial ion concentrations upon the structure and integrity of model membranes were probed after daptomycin challenge using a combination of surface x-ray scattering techniques and fluorescence assays. In models representing the membrane composition of the daptomycin susceptible phenotype consisting of PG/3adLPG in a 7:3 M ratio, calcium ions drive the formation of two separate phases; Ca cross-linked PG/PG pairs and PG/3adLPG ion pairs.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health challenge, impacting humans, animals, and the environment. Dogs and cats are vulnerable to urinary tract infections (UTIs), mostly caused by antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli, necessitating antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for optimal treatment. This study investigated and evaluated the seasonality of AST and AMR in urinary E.
