Prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolones Resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated from Hospitals in Borujerd, Iran
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of bacterial infections. Presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes causes low level of resistance in K. pneumoniae. This study investigated the prevalence of resistance to quinolones and fluoroquinolones, and the frequency of qnrA, qnrB and qnrS genes amo...

متن کاملGentamicin therapy for sepsis due to carbapenem-resistant and colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
OBJECTIVES Antimicrobial therapy for sepsis caused by carbapenem- and colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is not well established. We hypothesized that the early use of gentamicin in cases due to susceptible organisms would decrease the crude mortality rate of this infection. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined 50 cases of sepsis caused by carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae ...
متن کاملPlasmid- mediated cefotaxime and ceftizoximd resistance in Ten strains of klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from hospitals in Kerman,Iran
Klebsiella pneumonia is a gram negative bacillus of which it's resistant strains are a common source of nosocomial infections . The goal of this study is determination of drug sensitivity of these resistant strains, and study of causes involved in the resistant especially the presence of plasmid. Ten different strains of klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from clinical specimens collected from...
متن کاملEvaluation and Identification of Carbapenem Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Hospitalized Patients in Qom City, (Iran)
Background and Objectives: Klebsiella pneumonia is a facultative anaerobe bacterium from enterobacteriaceae family, which causes a wide range of diseases, such as urinary tract infections, cystitis, pneumonia, surgical wounds infections, infectious endocarditis, and diffused infections, especially in patients with HIV infection and immunosuppression. The aim of this study was to identify carbap...
