prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in nosocomial and community-acquired urinary tract infections
background klebsiella pneumoniae is a family member of enterobacteriaceae. isolates of k. pneumoniae produce enzymes that cause decomposition of third generation cephalosporins. these enzymes are known as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl). resistance of k. pneumoniae to beta-lactamase antibiotics is commonly mediated by beta-lactamase genes. objectives the aim of this study was to identif...
متن کاملRisk factors and outcome in extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia.
Given our interest in the epidemiology of nosocomial infection, and the impact of multidrug resistance, I read with great interest the study by Dr. Memon et al1 regarding risk factors and mortality associated with bacteremia caused by extended-spectrum ß-lactamase producing (ESBL) Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia. In this study, the only variable identified as a significant risk factor...
متن کاملExtended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae in diabetic foot infection.
AIMS Diabetic foot lesions are a major medical, social, and economic problem and are the leading cause of hospitalization for patients with diabetes, worldwide. ESBL-producing bacteria may not be detectable by routine disc diffusion susceptibility test, leading to inappropriate use of antibiotics and treatment failure. There is not much information on ESBL-producing organisms causing diabetic f...

متن کاملRisk factors for and mortality of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli nosocomial bloodstream infections.
A case-control study, involving patients with positive blood cultures for Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) or Escherichia coli (EC) EC and controls with positive blood cultures for non-ESBL-KP or EC, was performed to assess risk factors for extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL) production from nosocomial bloodstream infections (BSIs). Mortality among patients with BSIs was also assessed. The study ...
