prevalence of extended-spectrum and metallo β-lactamase production in ampc β-lactamase producing pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from burns
conclusions a high prevalence of multiple β-lactamase production was observed among the ampc producers (60%), of which the majority co-produced ampc and mbl. the current study results showed correlation between β-lactamase production and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in the isolates. results all isolates were multidrug resistant. ampc, esbl and mbl production were observed in 35 (...
متن کاملPrevalence of Extended-Spectrum and Metallo β-Lactamase Production in AmpC β-Lactamase Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates From Burns
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections. Resistance of P. aeruginosa to β-lactam antibiotics may be the result of acquired resistance through mutation and over production of various antibiotic inactivating enzymes. This research aimed to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and metallo β-lactamase (MBL) production ...
متن کاملCommunity Transmission of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase
land. Furthermore, Ct. felis often feeds on humans. Clinicians encountering patients with fever or rash (or both) and a history of cat contact or flea bites should consider a diagnosis of R. felis. Laboratory confirmation of infection is not easy, but in vitro culture of R. felis, and hence material for a serologic assay for the diagnosis of human R. felis infections, has recently been describe...
متن کاملExtended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Malian Orphanage
We show high rates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae carriage among the staff and children at an orphanage in Bamako, Mali. Enterobacteriaceae colonized in 100% and 63%, respectively, of the 38 children and 30 adults studied. Use of antimicrobial drugs appeared excessive and inappropriate; decontamination and hygiene protocols were also questioned.
متن کاملNew Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase, Ontario, Canada
To the Editor: The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) was fi rst characterized in 2009 from Kleb-siella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolated from a patient in Sweden who had received medical care in New Delhi, India (1). Further studies have shown broad dissemination of this β-lactamase gene (bla NDM-1) in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom (2). Additional isolates have ...
