Extended - spectrum Beta - lactamases
Beta-lactamase enzymes (BLs) have become the most worrisome mediators of antimicrobial resistance expressed by gram-negative bacteria (GNB). The multiple families of BLs have in common the ability to hydrolyze the -lactam rings of one or more members of the penicillins, cephalosporins, cephamycins, carbapenems, and monobactams. Extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) are a subset of BLs that conf...
متن کاملExtended-spectrum beta-lactamases.
At least 30 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESB) have emerged responsible for resistance to indigestible beta-lactams (C3G) since their discovery in West Germany in 1983. Most of them are produced by enterobacteria and essentially K. pneumoniae which appeared susceptible to oxyimino-beta-lactams. A double-disk test was useful to detect such nosocomial isolates of enterobacteria (urines, bloo...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of TEM and SHV Genes among Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Producing Escherichia Coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae
Objective(s) Production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) by enteric bacteria continues to be a major problem in hospitals and community. ESBLs producing bacteria cause many serious infections including urinary tract infections, peritonitis, cholangitis and intra-abdominal abscess. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ESBLs producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiel...
متن کاملCeftazidime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates from three Polish hospitals: identification of three novel TEM- and SHV-5-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases.
Twelve ceftazidime-resistant isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae (11 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and 1 Escherichia coli isolate) were collected in 1995 from three Polish hospitals located in different cities. All were identified as producers of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). Detailed analysis of their beta-lactamase contents revealed that six of them expressed SHV-5-like ES...
متن کاملA237T as a modulating mutation in naturally occurring extended-spectrum TEM-type beta-lactamases.
A TEM-1 beta-lactamase derivative containing the single amino acid substitution A237T slightly increased (from 24 to 32 microg/ml) the cephalothin MIC for Escherichia coli RYC1000 but did not influence the activities of cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and aztreonam (MICs of 0.03, 0.12, and 0.06 microg/ml, respectively). Despite its apparent neutrality, addition of the A237T mutation to the pair of mut...
