Isolation, identification & characterization of Proteus penneri - a missed rare pathogen
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Indole negative Proteus species are invariably incorrectly identified as P. mirabilis, missing isolates of Proteus penneri. P. penneri is an invasive pathogen capable of causing major infectious diseases still seldom reported in individual cases. We report here the isolation, differentiation, characterization and typing of P. penneri from patients with different clinical...
متن کاملExtended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing organisms.
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), which hydrolyse extended-spectrum cephalosporins and are inhibited by clavulanic acid, are spreading among Enterobacteriaceae. The CTX-M enzymes are replacing SHV and TEM enzymes as the prevalent type of ESBLs, principally in community-acquired infections caused by Escherichia coli. Associated infectious syndromes include mainly urinary tract infection...
متن کاملExtended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Escherichia coli: Increasing Incidence of a Resistant Pathogen
Definitions: Beta-lactam antimicrobials are characterized by having a four-membered cyclic amide (beta-lactam ring) as part of their chemical structure (Figure 1) [1]. This broad group includes the penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and monobactams [1]. All beta-lactams have a similar mechanism of action; they inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis [1]. Resistance to beta-lactam antimicro...
متن کاملExtended spectrum beta lactamase producing E.coli isolated from Gorgan, North of Iran
Abstract Background and objectives: The increase of ESBL producing E.coli can create a tremendous difficult y for the health system. These isolates leads to rapid transmission of causative genes to other clinically important bacteria and synchronously increased resistant to other antibiotics. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of this isolate and related genes in Gorgan, Nor...
متن کاملDetection of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Producing Salmonella spp. and Multidrug Resistance Pattern
Background: and Objectives: Salmonella infections are endemic in many developing countries with poor sanitary conditions, but emerge sporadically as a serious public health threat in developed countries. Infections with multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of Salmonella have been associated with treatment failures. Salmonella spp. resistant to extended spectrum cephal...
