Risk factors for emergence of resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins among Enterobacter spp.
Among 477 patients with susceptible Enterobacter spp., 49 subsequently harbored third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacter spp. Broad-spectrum cephalosporins were independent risk factors for resistance (relative risk [OR] = 2.3, P = 0.01); quinolone therapy was protective (OR = 0.4, P = 0.03). There were trends toward decreased risk for resistance among patients receiving broad-spec...
متن کاملResistance of Shigella strains to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Isfahan province
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella spp. in Isfahan, (Iran) from 2010 to 2015. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on Shigella isolates in four tertiary care hospitals. The process of bacterial isolation and determination of susceptibility was performed by standard microbiological guidelines. The pat...
متن کاملThe evolution of resistance to cephalosporins.
The expression of resistance to cephalosporins is highly varied and due to various mechanisms. The greatest disadvantage of the cephalosporins is that they are inactivated by the array of beta-lactamases produced by bacteria. The high levels of chromosomal enzymes produced by these organisms are a major cause of cephalosporin resistance. Plasmid-mediated beta-lactamases (PMBLs) have also been i...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins among Enterobacter aerogenes strains.
Resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins commonly develops in Enterobacter aerogenes during therapy due to selection of mutants producing high levels of the chromosomal Bush group 1 beta-lactamase. Recently, resistant strains producing plasmid-mediated extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have been isolated as well. A study was designed to investigate ESBL production among 31 clinica...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated resistance to cephalosporins in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi.
This study characterized a cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolate. The organism possessed a plasmid encoding the CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase. This plasmid is the determinant for the phenotype of cephalosporin resistance and is transferrable among Enterobacteriaceae.
