Cephalosporin MIC distribution of extended-spectrum-{beta}-lactamase- and pAmpC-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species.
The acquisition of beta-lactamases in members of the Enterobacteriaceae family poses a challenge to antimicrobial susceptibility testing in the clinical laboratory. We correlated the distribution of the MICs for Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli with the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase (pAmpC) genes. A total of 264 isolates were su...
متن کاملExtended – Spectrum β-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Species among Clinical Isolates
Extended – Spectrum Βeta-Lactamase producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years. Microorganisms responsible for UTIs such as Escherichia coli and klebsiella 5pp have the ability to produce ESBLs in large quantities. All the strains of klebsiella species in this study were collected from routine clinical samples confirmed by biochemical and other tes...
متن کاملEmergency Room: an Unrecognized Source of Extended-spectrum Β-lactamase Producing Escherichia Coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae.
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the leading causes of hospital-associated infections, but community-acquired cases are increasingly being reported. This study determined the prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae carriers, their bla genes and risk factors of 452 patients admitted to the emergency room (ER) of Ramathib...
متن کاملFrequency of Extended Spectrum Β-lactamase Producing Klebsiella Pnumoniae and Escherichia Coli Isolates
Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) that mediate resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins are now observed worldwide in all species of Enterobacteriaceae especially Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. ESBL producing organisms are responsible for nosocomial infections and may result in hospital outbreaks. Present study is a descriptive study. It was planned to determine the freq...
متن کاملPrevalence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli and Klebsiella species in urinary isolates
Introduction: Bacterial resistance to β-lactam antibiotics has risen dramatically, with extended spectrum βlactamase (ESBL) contributing to this increase. Early identification of ESBL production is becoming increasingly important. Methodology: A total of 367 consecutive, urine samples from patients suspected to have UTI, were processed. All Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species isolated in si...
