background: beta-lactamase enzymes are considered the most important factor of resistance against b-lactam antibiotics among gram-negative bacteria. in recent years, the production of extended-spectrum b-lactamases has been prevailed among bacteria, especially bacteria of animal origin, and this is important in terms of public health. objective: the prupose of this study is to evaluate the pres...

Background: There is a growing concern on the impact of the presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli isolated from animals on public health. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of three classes of ESBL genes in E. coli isolates from sheep and broilers at a slaughter in Urmia region, Iran. METHODS: A total of 111 E. coli isolates w...

Background & Aims: One of the most common causes of bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is beta-lactamase producing. The aim of this study was to compare the antibiotic resistance of urinary Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates producing CTX-M and TEM type beta-lactamases, and to determine the strains with co-resistance to multiple antibiotics in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: E. coli b...

AIM The aim of this work was to detect antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from subclinical mastitis in cattle in West Bengal. MATERIALS AND METHODS The milk samples were collected from the cattle suffering with subclinical mastitis in West Bengal. The milk samples were inoculated into the nutrient broth and incubated at 37°C. On the next day, the growth was transferred i...

conclusions: our findings suggest the possible co-carriage of some blashv genes and aris on the same plasmids harboring the mdr genes. possible role of integrons in dissemination of esbl-encoding blashv genes among esbl-producing k. pneumoniae nosocomial isolates may be inferred. background: some genetic and phenotypic variables are associated among distinct microbial populations. objectives: t...

Background: Community-acquired infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella species (Klebsiella spp.) is of major concern worldwide. Antibiotic resistance, production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), and carbapenemases, as well as the presence of classes 1, 2, and 3 integrons in outpatient isolates of Klebsiella collected from Yazd...

conclusions our study indicated a high frequency of cotrimoxazole resistance gene in e. coli isolates from ilam and tehran (milad) hospitals, and sul genes had a major role in cotrimoxazole resistance of these isolates. materials and methods one-hundred and forty-four e. coli isolates were identified during march 2007 to april 2012 at ilam hospitals and milad (tehran) hospital. antibiotic susce...

Emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae has become a challenging threat to public health. Two carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, strain QD28 and QD29, were recovered from the aspirating sputum of a neonate and the urine of an adult in a Chinese hospital in 2013. Molecular typing revealed that both isolates belonged to the sequence type 167, but they were clon...
