Community 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 کاملIn vitro emergence of carbapenem resistance in extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is thought to be the most common species producing ESBLs, and almost 50% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates produce ESBL in some countries [1]. Furthermore, antimicrobial co-resistance within ESBL-producing isolate communities limits the number of drugs that are effective against these strains, leaving carbapenems as the most reliable agents [2-3]. Carbapenem resistance can...
متن کاملExamining the Clinical Effectiveness of Non-Carbapenem β-Lactams for the Treatment of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae
Treatment options for extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are limited. Piperacillin-tazobactam and cefepime represent potential alternative treatment options; however, large prospective studies are lacking. This review evaluates the current literature regarding use of piperacillin-tazobactam and cefepime for the treatment of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterob...

Abstract: Background and objectives: Antibiotic resistant to Antimicrobial agents is one of the most important concern in hospitals, which can lead to increased costs, treatment fails and mortality rates. The aim of this study was identification of Gram-negative bacilli resistant to extended-spectrum β-lactamase Enzymes (ESBLs) and determination of the effect of silver nanoparticles on the...
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...
