The most widely distributed blaCTX-M gene on a global scale is blaCTX-M-15. dissemination has been associated with clonal spread and different types of mobile genetic elements. objective this review was to describe the environments blaCTX-M-15 detected from Enterobacteriaceae in published literature Africa. A search for relevant articles performed through PubMed, AJOL, Google Scholar electronic...

BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae strains expressing ESBLs are a predominant cause of hospital acquired infections. Here we describe the molecular epidemiology of these isolates in a tertiary hospital in Tanzania, as potential pathogens for neonatal infections. METHODS Between April 2009 and March 2010 all Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates with phenotypic expression Extended Spectrum Beta Lactama...

Resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC) is a global health issue. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare plasmids coding for resistance to ESC isolated from 16 avian commensal and 17 avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strains obtained respectively at slaughterhouse or from diseased broilers in 2010-2012. Plasmid DNA was used to transform E. coli DH5alpha, and the re...

Puerperal infection is a common complication during postnatal period in developing countries. Bacterial species, drug resistance, and genetic characteristics were investigated for a total of 470 isolates from puerperal infections in Bangladesh for a 2-year period (2010-2012). The most common species was Escherichia coli (n=98), followed by Enterococcus faecalis (n=54), Staphylococcus haemolytic...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a widespread environmental microorganism (1) that has emerged as a significant opportunistic pathogen (2) due to its intrinsic resistance to almost all available antibiotics. Apart from native -lactamases L1 and L2 (1), acquired extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) were also identified (3, 4), pointing to S. maltophilia as a potential reservoir. Furthermore, res...

Abstract Objectives Long-term care facilities (LTCFs) may act as a reservoir of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) and carbapenemase-producing (CPE) for hospitals the general population. In this study, we estimated prevalence molecular epidemiology rectal carriage with ESBL-E CPE in residents Dutch LTCFs between March 2018 December 2018. Methods were geographically selected across country...

Background: The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance has become a major global public health concern. A component element of this is the spread of the plasmid-encoded extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL) genes, conferring resistance to third-generation cephalosporins. The purpose of this study was to investigate the molecular characteristics of ESBL-encoding genes identified in Esch...
