چکیده
Methods From a total of 72 non-duplicate quinolone and cephalosporin resistant Enterobacteriacae obtained from October-December 2010 from Ahmadi hospital in Kuwait, 16 were K. pneumoniae. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by Vitek, Microscan, double disc diffusion, agar dilution and E-test against a panel of 26 antimicrobial agents. The presence of blaSHV, blaTEM, blaCTX-M, gyrA, parC, qnrA, qnrB, qnrS and class 1 integrons were determined by PCR and sequencing. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used for typing the strains and the results were analysed according to Tenover criteria.

Background and Aims: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing gram negative bacteria are resistant to penicillins, narrow and extended-spectrum cephalosporins, and aztreonam; also they are frequently resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, aminoglycosides, and quinolones. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants q...

Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important causative agents both in form of hospital acquired and community-acquired infections. This bacterium is one of the most prevalent pathogens that is isolated from hospitals and is associated with high mortality rates. The uprising trend of multi drug resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae has limited the treatment optio...
