CTX-M15 type ESBL producing Salmonella from a paediatric patient in Chennai, India

چکیده
Resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins in Salmonella has been attributed to the production of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), but AmpC and KPC or metallo β-lactamase (MBL) mediated resistance have also been reported1. ESBLs reported in Salmonella spp. are the derivatives of TEM, SHV, CTX-M and PER type β-lactamase families1. We isolated Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium (B9903) from the blood culture of a 6-month old baby admitted to a paediatric hospital in Chennai in October, 2009. The patient was febrile, lethargic and refused intake. The baby was diagnosed with haemophagocytic syndrome with NK cell deficiency, dengue hemorrhagic fever grade IV, sepsis, steroid induced hypertension. The baby responded to ciprofloxacin and co-trimoxazole along with intravenous immunoglobin and steroids. The child was well at the time of discharge after 17 days in hospital. There was no history of travel or any animal contact.

متن کاملLiver abscess caused by CTX-M-55-type extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella enteritidis.
Liver abscesses secondary to Salmonella species are rarely described in the general population. We herein describe a case of a liver abscess caused by CTX-M-55-type extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella enteritidis, which has not been reported in the literature. A 54-year-old male was admitted due to a high fever and was clinically diagnosed with a liver abscess. Culture of ...
متن کاملTwo different extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in one of the first ESBL-producing salmonella isolates in Poland.
Two extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing salmonella isolates, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, were analyzed. Both isolates produced the CTX-M-3 ESBL; however, their bla(CTX-M-3) genes were located on different plasmids. The serovar Typhimurium isolate also expressed another ESBL, SHV-2a, and probably the two ESBL genes had been a...

PURPOSE The global spread of bla CTX-M-I extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella spp. remains a major threat to treatment and control. Evidence of emergence and spread of this marker are lacking in Nigeria. This study investigated bla CTX-M-I ESBL production among Salmonella isolates from hospitalized patients. METHODS Patients (158 total) made up of two groups were evalu...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility and Multi-drug Resistance of Escherichia coli Isolates Producing CTX-M and TEM Type Beta-lactamases in Mashhad, Iran, in 2010
Background & Aims: One of the most common causes of bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is beta-lactamase producing. The aim of this study was to compare the antibiotic resistance of urinary Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates producing CTX-M and TEM type beta-lactamases, and to determine the strains with co-resistance to multiple antibiotics in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: E. coli b...
