Possible beta-lactamase activities detectable in infective clinical specimens.

چکیده
Biological beta-lactam antibiotic-inactivating activities were detected in bacteriuria and suppurating pleural fluids. Clinical specimens were sterilized with membrane filters and the amounts of ampicillin and/or cephalothin which were being inactivated by 1 ml of each filtrate were determined. In general, filtrates which originally yielded Klebsiella sp. tended to show activity against ampicillin; whereas those yielding Enterobacter sp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed activity against cephalothin.

Background and aim: Antimicrobial resistance is a worldwide problem causing health threats. Escherichia coli is one of the most important bacteria that causes resistance problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of Escherichia coli, a extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing CTX-M and SHV, in hospital and non-hospital clinical specimens in Isfahan. Methods: In this stu...
متن کاملEnzyme immunoassays in which biotinillated beta-lactamase is used for the detection of microbial antigens.
The performance characteristics of enzyme immunoassays are determined to a great extent by the enzyme-substrate system utilized for the immunoassay. Beta-lactamases (penicillin amido-beta-lactamhydrolase EC 3.5.2.6) offer a number of advantages which might make them useful in immunoassay systems. We linked beta-lactamase from Bacillus cereus with biotin and used the biotinillated enzyme to devi...

Introduction: Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli generate a major problem for clinical therapeutics and epidemiological study. The incidence of ESBL producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing during the past few years, and remains an important cause of failure of therapy with cephalosporins. The aim of this study was to determine the a...
