Identification of extended-spectrum β-lactamase genes in Escherichia coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infection
Introduction: Recentlly, resistance to antibiotics has increased and antibiotic-resistant strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have emerged among Enterobacteriaceae, mainly in Escherichia coli (E. coli). In this study we aimed to determine phenotypic and genotypic ESBL production in isolated E. coli from women with urinary tract infection (UTI). Materials and Methods: In...
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...
متن کاملComplicated urinary tract infection caused by extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli
With great interest, we read the article by Pacheco et al in the Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, which reported that multidrug-resistant, extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli is an important pathogen in nosocomial urinary tract infection, causing great concern in therapeutic failure. Here, we report a patient who was diagnosed with complicated urina...
متن کاملAmikacin therapy for urinary tract infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli
BACKGROUND/AIMS The number of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) is increasing. In an outpatient setting, there are limited therapeutic options to treat ESBL-producing pathogens. We evaluated the outcomes of amikacin outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) for UTIs caused by ESBL-EC in patients not pre-treated wit...
متن کاملSalmonella enterica: Serotyping, Drug Resistance & Extended Spectrum of β-Lactamase (ESBLs)
Background & Objective: Genus Salmonella has more than 2400 serotypes. The two major groups are S.enterica and S.bongori. Important serotypes are situated in S.enterica group. Antibiotic therapy in salmonellosis is restricted to typhoid fever and acute infections. After the first reporting of resistance in S.Typhimurium DT 104, nowadays, developing of resistance in Salmonella, specially, ESBL p...
