prevalence of multiple drug resistant clinical isolates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing enterobacteriaceae in southeast iran

background: multidrug resistance and production of extended spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) by enteric gram-negative rods in hospitals and community continue to be worsened. we aimed to characterize the multidrug resistance and determine the prevalence of esbl production by clinical isolates of enterobacteriaceae in southeast iran.   methods: gram-negative bacteria isolated from clinical samples ...

Prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Bahrain.

OBJECTIVES To determine the occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Bahrain. METHODS Retrospective analysis of records (January 2005-December 2006) at the Microbiology Laboratory of the Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain which is the major national diagnostic laboratory.

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...

High prevalence of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase producing enterobacteriaceae among clinical isolates in Burkina Faso

BACKGROUND Nothing is known about the epidemiology and resistance mechanisms of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) in Burkina Faso. The objective of this study was to determine ESBL-PE prevalence and to characterize ESBL genes in Burkina Faso. METHODS During 2 months (June-July 2014), 1602 clinical samples were sent for bacteriologic investigations to the mic...
