Introduction. Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli are an important object surveillance within the One Health concept in wild, agriculture and human society. Migratory bird colonies high latitude avian may be points active intraspecies interspecies contact between different animal species, accompanied by spread pathogens. At same time, phylogeography E. relation to presence natural foci colibacillosis polar regions remains virtually unstudied. The aim this study was assess pathogenic...

Acute intestinal infections caused by Escherichia coli affect the gastrointestinal tract, leading to development of diarrheal syndrome, intoxication, and, in some cases, generalization pathological process. Diarrheagenic E. (DEC) strains differ from non-pathogenic (commensal) presence specific virulence genes, pathogenesis characteristics, clinical and epidemiological manifestations diseases they cause. Based on determinants, 6 pathogenic DEC groups are distinguished: enteropathogenic,...

Abstract. We studied the prevalence of K. pneumoniae and E. coli resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins carbapenems, isolated from patients eight hospitals in St-Petersburg January May, 2012. Prevalence cephalosporin resistant isolates varied different hospitals: – 7,8 50%, 25,4 88,4%. Isolates produced beta-lactamases СТХ-М, mainly СТХ-М-1, also СТХ-М-2 СТХ-М-9. Twenty two carbapenem-resistant strains (also other antimicrobials) were three hospitals. MALDI-TOF MS showed that...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-library preparation for whole-genome (WGS) starts with DNA fragmentation, and sonication is a physical approach used most often due to its simplicity reproducibility. However, the commercially available Covaris instrument has high price both device consumables. Here, we describe our in-house method of shearing by small (100-600 µm) glass beads an ultrasonic bath. The fragmentation conditions were optimized bacterial WGS ∼550-bp fragment size (the bath water...
