چکیده

objective(s) resistance to the new generation of cephalosporins which is mediated by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) has been found among escherichia coli isolates throughout the world. these resistance genes and their producers, the micro-organisms carrying beta-lactamases, are responsible for serious clinical and therapeutic problems among inpatients and it is necessary to pay more attention to detection of esbls producing organisms. materiasl and methods collectively 260 isolates of e. coli were obtained from 6 hospitals in tehran (iran) during april-2006 to april-2007. the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of isolates were determined by disk diffusion method. phenotypic confirmatory test (pct) was carried out for screening of esbls. microbroth dilution assay was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of ceftazidime. isolates showing mic>2 pg/ml were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (pcr) targeting blatem, blashv, blactx and blaper genes. results the pct showed that 48.08% of isolates are esbl producers (125 of 260). the majority of cefotaxime resistant (90.8%) and ceftazidime resistant (92.5%) isolates were esbl producers. the obtained results by pcr revealed that 5.77% (n=15 of 260) and 24.23 (n=63) of isolates can produce shv and tem type enzymes respectively. blactx was detected in 20.38% of isolates (n=53) and none of them could produce blaper type beta-lactamases. conclusion the results of our study showed that the esbl genes have high prevalence among clinical isolates of e. coli. such high dissemination of esbls is a serious problem for public health and therefore, it's necessary to seek a program for monitoring esbls in hospitals.

Beta-Lactam Antibiotics and Vancomycin Beta-lactam antibiotics

Anti-bacterial drugs have “selective toxicity”, that is they interact with a target present on the bacterial cell, the prokaryote, that is not present in the mammalian host, the eukaryote. For the ß-lactam drugs, this target is the cell wall. Mammalian cells lack cell walls, which for the bacteria are a critically important barrier protecting the organism from not only the vagaries of osmotic s...

Evaluation of the Resistance Pattern of Escherichia Coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae Against Beta Lactam and Non Beta Lactam Antibiotics

This study was designed to determine Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae resistance pattern to some beta and non-beta lactam antibiotics currently in use. Fifty (50) samples (25 stool sample and 25 sputum sample) were collected and cultured using streak method of inoculation. Fifteen (15) isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae was gotten from sputum samples and 15 isolates of E.coli gotten fr...

Escherichia coli mutants tolerant to beta-lactam antibiotics.

Two types of Escherichia coli mutants tolerant to beta-lactam antibiotics were isolated. One is E. coli chi2452, which showed a tolerant response against beta-lactam antibiotics when grown at 42 degrees C, and the others are the mutants C-80 and C-254, selected from mutagenized E. coli chi1776 by cycles of exposure to ampicillin, cephaloridine, and starvation of the nutritionally required diami...

Chemistry of Beta Lactam Antibiotics

Humans have been plagued with the threat of bacterial infection since before the dawn of recorded history, and have thus always had a keen interest in finding a suitable treatment for these maladies. In the early part of the 19th century, colonial Americans were fearful of death by bacterial infections that are now considered routine, and usually inquired about one another's health in their let...
