Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases Genes in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen resistant to various antibiotics. The aim of the present study was to study resistant patterns in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, classify them into pandrug resistance (PDR), extensive drug resistance (XDR) and multidrug resistance (MDR)...

www.expert-reviews.com ISSN 1478-7210 © 2008 Expert Reviews Ltd 10.1586/14787210.6.5.671 The potential options available for treating serious infections caused by enterobacteria include penicillins (with or without β-lactamase inhibitors), cephalosporins, aztreonam, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones and, in certain situations only, aminoglycosides and colistin. Recently, tigecycline has been added ...
متن کاملPrevalence of blaCTX-M Gene among Extended- Spectrum β-Lactamases Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates in Iran: A Meta-Analysis
Background: CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are the most prevalent ESBLs in bacterial members of Enterobacteriaceae family including Klebsiella pneumoniae. The global spread of CTX-M-producing K. pneumoniae is a major concern in most countries including Iran. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the relative frequency (RF) of blaCTX-M gene among ESBLs-producing K. pn...
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 کاملBacteria Producing Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in Hospitalized Patients: Prevalence, Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern and its Main Determinants
Background and Objective: There is a growing concern regarding the lack of new antibiotics, especially for multidrug-resistant bacteria that produce Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBLs). The present study aims to assess the prevalence of bacteria producing ESBLs, their antimicrobial resistance pattern, and its main determinants among hospitalized patients.Method...
