The objective is to harmonise streamline made by Member States ensure that data collected are relevant easy analyse at European Union level. Detailed guidelines provided text for...

Aims: This study aimed to screen for Beta Lactamases (BLs) and other resistant bacteria among patients admitted the emergency unit of Yaoundé University Teaching Hospital (YUTH).
 Study Design: was a cross-sectional hospital-based study.
 Place Duration Study: conducted at Bacteriology YUTH, Yaoundé- Cameroon between February June 2020.
 Methodology: Seventy-Five urine samples we...

DHA-1 is an inducible plasmid-mediated AmpC b-lactamase whose emergence raises concerns because the mortality of patients infected with organisms that produce DHA-1 has been shown to be higher than that of patients infected with organisms that produce CMY-1. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that plasmid-mediated AmpC b-lactamases have emerged in Switzerland. The prevalence of 0.16% is still ...

A multiplex, real-time TaqMan assay was designed to identify clinical isolates carrying plasmid-mediated ampC genes. The specificity and sensitivity of this assay were 100% when testing characterized AmpC/non-AmpC-producing isolates and randomly selected clinical isolates. This is a rapid assay that can be performed in a clinical microbiology laboratory.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for devastating nosocomial infections among severely burn patients. Class C of cephalosporinase (AmpC-β-lactamases) is important cause of multiple β-lactam resistance in P. aeruginosa. The aim of this study was to detect the AmpC-β-lactamases producing isolates among carbapenem resistant P. aeruginosa isolated from burn patient. ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES AmpC β-lactamases which are often plasmid mediated hydrolyze all β-lactam antibiotics except cefepime and carbapenems. We evaluated the presence of AmpC β-lactamases among Enterobacteriaceae strains recovered prospectively from patients at five Indian tertiary care centres. METHODS The study included 909 consecutive Gram-negative isolates recovered from clinically sign...

INTRODUCTION Few reports about the prevalence and genetic basis of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are available from Saudi Arabia. We sought to determine the prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a university hospital in eastern Saudi Arabia and to characterize the ESBLs produced by these isolates at the molecular level. METHODOLOGY All clinical isolates of Escherichia...

The increasing trend of β-lactam resistance among Enterobacteriaceae is a worldwide threat. Enterobacteriaceae isolates causing intra-abdominal infections (IAI) from the Study for Monitoring Antimicrobial Resistance Trends (SMART) collected in 2008 and 2009 from the Asia-Pacific region were investigated. Detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), AmpC β-lactamases, and carbapenemases ...

BACKGROUND Quinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae species has increased over the past few years, and is significantly associated to beta-lactam resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of chromosomal- and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in acquired AmpC β-lactamase and/or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates. METHODS The presence of chromosomal...
