High Prevalence of CTXM-15 Type Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Among Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae
Background: Production of β–lactamases by enterobacteriacea, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, is one of the emerging health problems in the world. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of blaCTX-M15 gene in K. pneumoniae isolates and determine the molecular diversity of CTXM producing isolates. Methods: In...
متن کاملprevalence of extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing klebsiella pneumoniae in clinical isolates
conclusions our study showed that the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumoniae at king khalid hospital was significantly high. routine detection of esbl-producing microorganisms is required by each of the laboratory standard detection methods to control the spread of these infections and allow a proper therapeutic strategy. for detection, the phenotypic confirmatory disc diffusion test is sim...
متن کاملA novel complex mutant beta-lactamase, TEM-68, identified in a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate from an outbreak of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiellae.
Twenty-two Klebsiella pneumoniae and two K. oxytoca extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolates were collected in 1996 from patients in two pediatric wards of the University Hospital in Wrocław, Poland. Molecular typing has revealed that the K. pneumoniae isolates represented four different epidemic strains. Three kinds of enzymes with ESBL activity (pI values of 5.7, 6.0, and 8....
متن کاملPrevalence of blaCTX-M Gene among Extended- Spectrum β-Lactamases Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates in Iran: A Meta-Analysis
Background: CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are the most prevalent ESBLs in bacterial members of Enterobacteriaceae family including Klebsiella pneumoniae. The global spread of CTX-M-producing K. pneumoniae is a major concern in most countries including Iran. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the relative frequency (RF) of blaCTX-M gene among ESBLs-producing K. pn...
متن کاملExtended – Spectrum β-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Species among Clinical Isolates
Extended – Spectrum Βeta-Lactamase producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years. Microorganisms responsible for UTIs such as Escherichia coli and klebsiella 5pp have the ability to produce ESBLs in large quantities. All the strains of klebsiella species in this study were collected from routine clinical samples confirmed by biochemical and other tes...
