The purpose of the study was to examine prevalence Escherichia coli in shrimps and mussels, determine distribution β-lactam, aminoglycoside, quinolone, multi-drug resistance phenotypically genotypically E. isolates obtained from mussels Istanbul. Faecal samples were collected (n = 96) Marmara Sea coastline fish markets For detection antibiotic susceptibilities, seven groups used. β-lactam...

Sir, The emergence and dissemination of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates harbouring carbapenemases is a serious problem. Since the initial report of the OXA-48 enzyme in a K. pneumoniae isolate from Turkey in 2001, OXA-48 producers have been reported in many countries of the world. – 4 Current reports indicate that OXA-48 producers are widespread, mostly from Mediterranean countries as well as ot...

Background: The increasing pattern of Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria has limited therapeutic options especially for nosocomial isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Therefore, the aim of this study was the molecular detection of 16S rRNA methylase and blaCTX-M-15 among K. pneumoniae strains isolated from hospitalized patients in Mofid, Imam Hossein and Taleghani hospitals. Materials and Me...

The current study aimed to analyze the prevalence and characterization of Salmonella enterica isolated from animals in slaughterhouses before slaughter. A total of 143 non-duplicate Salmonella were recovered from 1,000 fresh fecal swabs collected from four major pig slaughterhouses (49/600, 8.2%) and four major chicken slaughterhouses (94/400, 23.5%) between March and July 2016. Among Salmonell...

Emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae has become a challenging threat to public health. Two carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, strain QD28 and QD29, were recovered from the aspirating sputum of a neonate and the urine of an adult in a Chinese hospital in 2013. Molecular typing revealed that both isolates belonged to the sequence type 167, but they were clon...

background emerging antibacterial resistance rates and extended-spectrum-β-lactamase producing escherichia coli recovered from urinary tract infections (uti) is an increasing problem in different regions, limiting therapeutic options. objectives the aim of this study was the detection of blatem, blashv and blactx-m genes among escherichia coli strains causing urinary tract infection in children...

Despite worldwide dissemination of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase1 (blaNDM-1), outbreaks remain uncommon in China. In this study, we describe the characteristics of the outbreak-related blaNDM-1-producing K. pneumonia isolates in a neonatal unit in Shandong province, China. We recovered 21 non-repetitive carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates with a positively modified Hodge test (MHT) or E...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of class A extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp., and to investigate clonality among ESBL-producing isolates of nosocomial and community infections. METHODS The study involved 354 nosocomial infections samples and 992 community infections samples, obtained between 2003 and 2006 at Caxias do Sul, RS. The dete...

Background and Objectives This study was undertaken to characterize antimicrobial resistance phenotypes and genes encoding extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in Klebsiella isolated from retail chicken meat in Mansoura, Egypt. Materials and Methods Three hundred sixty chicken meat samples from 120 eviscerated chicken carcasses (3 cuts each) collected randomly from local retail chicken shop...
