Complexity of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates resistant to both cephamycins and extended-spectrum cephalosporins at a teaching hospital in Taiwan.

چکیده
Among 99 clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates resistant to cefoxitin and extended-spectrum cephalosporins, coexistence of AmpC (DHA-1, CMY-2, or CMY-8) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (CTX-M and/or SHV) was detected in a total of 35. The remainder produced AmpC (n = 42), extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (n = 9), metallo-beta-lactamases (n = 2), or none of these enzymes (n = 11). Phenotypic characteristics of these isolates were demonstrated.

Prevalence of qnr Genes in Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Clinical Urine Specimens in University Teaching Hospitals, Iran
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...

Abstract Background and objectives: the increasing use of antibiotics, especially the third generation cephalosporins, is an important factor in the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The main reason for the development of resistance phenotype such as Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamas (ESBL) is the extensive use of broad-spectrum cephalosporins. In phenotypic survey, the Phenotyping c...

Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) that mediate resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins are now observed worldwide in all species of Enterobacteriaceae especially Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. ESBL producing organisms are responsible for nosocomial infections and may result in hospital outbreaks. Present study is a descriptive study. It was planned to determine the freq...

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 Aim: Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. Pneumoniae) is one of the prevalent infectious bacteria, especially in hospitalized patients. Recently, its' multi drug resistance (MDR) trait has become more important and regarded as a virulant factor. In this study, we evaluated bla-ctx-m-type gene in clinical isolates of K.pneumoniae with multi drug resistance. Materials and Methods: In this d...
