چکیده
Two similar phage-like plasmids carrying CTX-M-15 resistance cassettes were identified from two environmental Escherichia coli isolates. They demonstrate strong nucleotide sequence identity to the phage-like plasmid pECOH89 and Salmonella bacteriophage SSU5.

Complete Genome Sequences of IncI1 Plasmids Carrying Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Genes
Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) confer resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics. Often, the resistance genes are carried by conjugative plasmids which are responsible for dissemination. Five IncI1 plasmids carrying ESBLs from commensal and clinical Escherichia coli isolates were completely sequenced and annotated along with a non-ESBL carrying IncI1 plasmid.

Background: Production of β–lactamases by enterobacteriacea, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, is one of the emerging health problems in the world. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of blaCTX-M15 gene in K. pneumoniae isolates and determine the molecular diversity of CTXM producing isolates. Methods: In...

Background and Objective: Burn wound infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting β-lactam antibiotic resistance are one of the greatest challenges of antimicrobial treatment. In this context, P. aeruginosa strains harboring resistance mechanisms, such as production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases have the highest clinical impact no the management of burn wound infections. The ai...
متن کاملFrequency of CTX-M-1 gene in Escherichia coli isolates of ESBL-producing enzyme in clinical samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Yasuj
Abstract: Introduction and objective: Resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in the clinical isolates, in most cases is caused by β-lactamase enzymes. In recent years, The incidence of broad-spectrum β-lactamase enzymes (ESBLs) among clinical isolates especially E.coli is greatly increased, since the β-lactamase have several subfamilies, using universal primers designed to detect the following comp...
متن کامل[The changing epidemiology of extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae].
In the last two decades, Klebsiella pneumoniae demonstrated some characteristics of acquisition of plasmids coding extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). The review data showed an increase in worldwide prevalence of ESBL and a temporal shift in the prevalence of ESBL types in K. pneumoniae during this last decade. CTX-M-15 seems to be the predominant ESBL type in K. pneumoniae in some parts of ...
