  Background: Escherichia coli causes urinary tract infection (UTI), one of the most frequent bacterial infections in humans, shows resistance to various commonly prescribed antibiotics. This is termed as multi drug resistance, which is increasing among E. coli. The multi-drug resistant E. coli isolates harbor multiple plasmids that might be responsible for antibiotic resistance. The resistance can be transferred among bacteria through horizontal transfer of the genetic materials. Objectives: We undertook this study 1) to find a link between antibiotic resistance and plasmid of E. coli from UTI patients of Sylhet region of Bangladesh 2) to analyze the spread of the plasmid mediated antibiotic resistant gene between E. coli isolates. Methods: Conjugation experiment was carried out in Luria Broth with .. View More»
