Multidrug Resistance Pattern in Escherichia coli: The Evolving Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance in a Developing Country

The resistance pattern of Escherichia coli is a reliable monitor of antimicrobial resistance of fecal bacteria involved in diarrhea. Recently, we found a high correlation between diarrheagenic E coli isolated from accessible water sources and diarrhea stool using cluster analysis. Presently, we have addressed the probable relationship between antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of E coli from environmental (water) and clinical …
