简要总结
This descriptive cross-sectional study will beconducted in Suez Canal University Hospitals (SCUHs) in Ismailia, Egypt. The study aims to detect Escherichia coli biofilm producers to improve prognosis and treatment and reduce morbidity and mortality rates due to this infection.
详细描述
Forty seven clinical isolates of non-duplicated UPEC will be collected from clinically suspected cases of UTI in different departments in SCUHs. Isolates will be identified as E. coli by colony morphology, Gram staining and biochemical reactions. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing will be performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method on Muller-Hinton agar plate. The detection of biofilm will be carried out by Congo Red Agar (CRA) method and modified tissue culture plate (MTCP) method.

结局指标
主要结局
Modified tissue culture plate method (MTCP)
时间窗: up to 24 hours
All isolates will be screened for their ability to form biofilm by the TCP method with a modification in duration of incubation, which will be extended to 24 hours and the addition of glucose.
antibiotic resistance
时间窗: from 18-24 hours
Susceptibility testing will be performed according to the standard Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method on Mueller Hinton agar and interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Antibiotic discs include Amoxicillin-clavulanate, Piperacillin-tazobactam, Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime, Aztreonam, Imipenem, Gentamicin, Amikacin, Norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Nitrofurantoin.
Congo red Agar method (CRA)
时间窗: 24 to 48 hours
The medium will be prepared by adding 37 gm brain heart infusion (BHI) powder, 50 gm sucrose and 10 gm agar to 900 ml distilled water and autoclaved at 121°C for 15 minutes. Congo red will be prepared separately by dissolving 0.8 gm of congo red stain in 100 ml distilled water as concentrated aqueous solution and autoclaved at 121°C for 15 minutes and thenit will be added to the previous media when it cooled to 55°C. The congo red agar will be distributed in sterile plates. Plates will be inoculated by the test bacteria and incubated aerobically for 24 to 48 hours at 37°C. Positive results will be indicated by black colonies with a dry crystalline consistency. Weak slime producers usually remain pink.
