DETERMINATION OF EXTENDED-SPECTRUM BETA-LACTAMASES GENES AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE PATTERNS IN ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATES FROM HEALTHY CATS

Determination of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Genes and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns in Escherichia coli Isolates from Healthy Cats

Background: This study was set to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing E.coli isolates and the genes underlying their resistance in relation to phylogenetic background from fecal samples of healthy owned cats.Methods: A total of 50 E.coli isolates were confirmed by standard bacteriological tests.The phylogenetic analyses of th

The femoral intercondylar notch is an accurate landmark for the resection depth of the distal femur in total knee arthroplasty

Abstract Introduction Conventionally, the depth of distal femoral resection in total knee arthroplasty is referenced from the most prominent distal femoral condyle.This surgical technique does not consider pathological alterations of articular surfaces or severity of knee deformity.It has been hypothesized that the femoral intercondylar notch is a
