Multiresistant Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O118:H16 and O118 nonmotile strains (designated O118:[H16]) were detected by examination of 171 STEC isolates for their antimicrobial sensitivity. Of 48 STEC O118:[H16] strains, 98% were resistant to sulfonamide, 96% were resistant to streptomycin, 79% were resistant to kanamycin, 75% were resistant to tetracycline, 67% were resistant...

Introduction: A total of (116) diarrhea-sufficient patient samples gathered from February 15, 2019 to April 2019. Methodology: Using colonial morphology, microscopic examination, biochemical testing, and the 20 R API Enter systems, bacteria were able be identified. Ultimate "PCR" identification E. coli ("MDH" gene). Result: Rendering results obtained according morphological, cultural characters...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Klebsiella pneumoniae, one of the important causes of nosocomial infections, is the most common extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) producing organism. ESBLs are defined as the enzymes capable of hydrolyzing oxyimino-cephalosporins, monobactams and carbapenems. The aims of this study were to identify ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates and detect their antibiotic ...

OBJECTIVE Describe the presence of CTX-M-1 phylogenetic subgroup extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), associated with TEM and SHV genes, and the gene encoding cephalosporinase, CMY-2 in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from community-acquired urinary tract infections. METHODS 102 E. coli and 21K. pneumoniae were collected from patients with culture-proven urinary tract in...

beta-Lactamase production was investigated in cultures of 25 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates isolated at a hospital in Durban, South Africa, in 1994 and 1996. Twenty of these isolates gave ceftazidime MIC/ceftazidime plus clavulanate MIC ratios of >/=8, implying production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), and DNA sequencing identified an ESBL gene (bla(TEM-53)) in a further two isol...

The sulbactam resistance rate in Acinetobacter baumannii has increased worldwide. Previous reports have shown that the β-lactamase bla TEM-1 confers resistance to sulbactam in A. baumannii. The purpose of this study was to examine whether other β-lactamases, including the Acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinase (ADC), OXA-23, OXA-24/72, and OXA-58 families, also contribute to sulbactam resistanc...

BACKGROUND The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a serious problem to antibiotic management. We investigated the β-lactamases in a group of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolates from Turkey. METHODS Thirty-seven strains of K. pneumoniae isolated from various clinical specimens were analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, PCR for the detecti...

Relevance A common mechanism of resistance is the synthesis enzymes that inactivate antibiotic (AB). Since its discovery at end 20th century, ESBLs have spread widely throughout world. Representatives this group complex protein compounds properties hydrolysis ß-lactam antibiotics and differ from each other in amino acid sequence. The genetic determinants determine their are bla-CTX-M, bla-SHV, ...

Escherichia coli is a common cause of infections in companion animals. In recent years the increasing prevalence of resistance to β-lactams, including extended-spectrum cephalosporins, antimicrobials frequently used in small animal veterinary practice, was observed in canine isolates of E. coli. The aim of this study was to detect and to characterize extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) produ...
