چکیده
Purpose: To know the prevalence of extended spectrum βlactamases (ESBL) in multidrug resistant strains of Klebsiellapneumoniaefrom various clinical samples.Material and Methods: A total of 97 strains of Klebsiellapneumoniae were selected for the study, screened for ESBL and confirmed by phenotypic confirmatory disc diffusion test (PCDDT)Results: 92(94.84%) of isolates were resistant to one or more 3Generation cephalosporins (3GC) and which were confirmed for ESBL production by using the PCDDTmethod.Conclusion: Our study shows high prevalence of ESBL production. PCDDT is a simple and cost effective test which can be done as a routine in our microbiology labs.

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...
