Extended spectrum and metalo beta-lactamase producing airborne Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanii in restricted settings of a referral hospital: a neglected condition

Metallo beta lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.

This study aims in identifying MBLs particularly Zn requiring Molecular Class B enzymes produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii .The resistance by these organisms are in a rise against all antibiotics including carbapenems and no prescribed CLSI guidelines is available for detecting them. Clinical isolates antibiotic susceptibility was determined by number of phenotypic t...

Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Expressing Amp C Beta-Lactamase Enzyme

This study determined the presence of Amp C beta lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa among the seventy four uropathogens studied using standard techniques. Results obtained revealed that the studied isolates show an alarming rate of resistance to the extended spectrum beta lactam antibiotics and the penicillin derivatives tested. The combination of piperacillin and tazobactam was however...

Prevalence of metalo- β-lactamase-producing (MBL) Acinetobacter species in a tertiary care hospital

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Acinetobacter causes a wide variety of illness in debilitated and hospitalized patients. Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter is an emerging problem and is a cause of concern as many nosocomial infections with Acinetobacter are resistant to most other antibiotics. The present study was aimed to study metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) production in Acinetobacter species. MA...
