چکیده

the nosocomial infections, caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria, are the most important cause of mortality throughout the world. one important mechanism against beta-lactam antibiotics is the production of beta-lactamases. enterobacteriaceae and non-fermentative bacteria, like pseudomonas aeruginosa and acinetobacter baumannnii may produce these enzymes. currently, there is no vaccine to prevent the infections caused by β-lactamase-producing bacteria. consequently, it is necessary to identify β-lactamase-producing bacteria by phenotypic and molecular methods.

Simple screening tests for detection of carbapenemases in clinical isolates of nonfermentative Gram-negative bacteria.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The production of carbapenemases is an important mechanism responsible for the carbapenem resistance. A simple and inexpensive testing method for screening of carbapenemase producers is essential. A prospective study was undertaken to detect metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) and AmpC beta-lactamases in nonfermentative Gram negative bacteria and to evaluate the various method...

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Gram-Negative Bacteria in Gorgan

Abstract Background and Objective: The excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics will lead to drug resistance of microorganism and specially nosocomial organisms. Because of high incidence of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, we aimed to study antibiotic resistance to gram negative bacteria. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data of biological sampl...

dissemination of carbapenemases producing gram negative bacteria in the middle east

the emergence and spread of carbapenemase-producing bacteria, that hydolyze most β-lactams, including carbapenems, are a major concern of public health system worldwide, particularly in the middle east area. since the plasmids harboring resis- tance genes could be spread across other bacterial populations, detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms has become more problematic. these organis...

Worldwide Dissemination of the NDM-Type Carbapenemases in Gram-Negative Bacteria

The emergence of one of the most recently described carbapenemases, namely, the New Delhi metallo-lactamase (NDM-1), constitutes a critical and growingly important medical issue. This resistance trait compromises the efficacy of almost all lactams (except aztreonam), including the last resort carbapenems. Therapeutical options may remain limited mostly to colistin, tigecycline, and fosfomycin. ...
