Changing Epidemiology of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Pathogen of Urinary Tract
This review covers the recent findings on extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) pathogens, focusing on the epidemiology of infection due to this pathogen. Use of ESBL is growing rapidly and widely. CTX-M-15 producing ESBL Escherichia coli is the most commonly encountered in clinical practice. In general, ESBL infections are represented by urinary tract infections, but they can also cause fat...
متن کاملPrevalence of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Enzymes in Enterobacter Aerogenes Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in Shahrekord City
Introduction: Enterobacteriaceae produce the Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases which is considered as an important resistant mechanism of beta-lactam antibiotics. The resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is the main problem in the bacterial infections therapy. The prevalence of these enzymes changes in different geographical areas and with time. The present study aims to explore the frequency ...
متن کاملExtended - spectrum Beta - lactamases
Beta-lactamase enzymes (BLs) have become the most worrisome mediators of antimicrobial resistance expressed by gram-negative bacteria (GNB). The multiple families of BLs have in common the ability to hydrolyze the -lactam rings of one or more members of the penicillins, cephalosporins, cephamycins, carbapenems, and monobactams. Extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) are a subset of BLs that conf...
متن کاملExtended-spectrum beta-lactamases.
At least 30 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESB) have emerged responsible for resistance to indigestible beta-lactams (C3G) since their discovery in West Germany in 1983. Most of them are produced by enterobacteria and essentially K. pneumoniae which appeared susceptible to oxyimino-beta-lactams. A double-disk test was useful to detect such nosocomial isolates of enterobacteria (urines, bloo...
متن کاملExtended Spectrum Beta-lactamases: Definition, Classification and Epidemiology.
Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are defined as enzymes produced by certain bacteria that are able to hydrolyze extended spectrum cephalosporin. They are therefore effective against beta-lactam antibiotics such as ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime and oxyimino-monobactam. The objective of the current review is to provide a better understanding of ESBL and the epidemiology of ESBL pr...
