Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in klebsiellae with the Oxoid combination disk method.
The Oxoid combination disk method for detecting extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) depends on comparing the inhibition zones of cefpodoxime (10-microg) and cefpodoxime-plus-clavulanate (10- plus 1-microg) disks. The presence of clavulanate enlarged the zones for all of 180 ESBL-producing klebsiellae by >/=5 mm, whereas zones for cefpodoxime-susceptible isolates and cefpodoxime-resistant ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the β-Lactamase Disk Test Method in the Detection of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamases in Clinical Isolates of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background & Aims: The production of extended-spectrum-β-lactamases (ESBLs) is the main mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. The outbreak of isolates simultaneously possessing several resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics caused a decrease in sensitivity of the confirmatory tests for ESBL. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the β-lactamase disk test...

متن کاملDetection of Extended-spectrum B-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae with Combination Disk Method
ESBLs are now a problem in hospitalized patients throughout the world. The prevalence of ESBLs among clinical isola tes varies greatly worldwide and in geographic areas and are rapidly changing over time. A total of 81 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae ESBLS, have been chosen in order to confirm ESBL-producing isolates, this confirmation was done by inhibitor potentiated disc diffusion test. Of th...
متن کاملdetection of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) in escherichia coli
background escherichia coli (e. coli) species are able to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) that cause high resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics. therefore, determining the antibiotic susceptibility patterns in resistant organisms is necessary for suitable therapeutic approaches. patients and methods totally, 260 clinical isolates of e. coli were collected from hospitals in te...
