background escherichia coli (e. coli) species are able to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) that cause high resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics. therefore, determining the antibiotic susceptibility patterns in resistant organisms is necessary for suitable therapeutic approaches. patients and methods totally, 260 clinical isolates of e. coli were collected from hospitals in te...

Background: Higher prevalence of ESBL producers is alarming in dairy sector. So limiting antimicrobial use may curtail the selection and persistence predominant conjugative plasmids among strains. The study was aimed to determine occurrence extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli as well their genetic diversity, resistance integrons bovines. Methods: A total 180 faecal samples...

objective(s) extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl) producing bacteria have an important role in nosocomial infections. due to the limited availability of information about the molecular epidemiology of esbl producing bacteria in mashhad, we decided to investigate about tem, ctx and shv esbls among urinary escherichia coli isolates in mashhad, a city in northeast iran. materials and methods   ...

conclusions our study emphasized the increasing role of esbl genes, especially blactx-m15 in epec isolates. results of 42 epec, eight isolates carried the blactx-m1. none of the isolates carried blactx-m2 and blactx-m9. the blactx-m15 variant was identified in all of blactx-m1-positive isolates. furthermore, blashv and blatem genes were detected in 40.5% (n = 17) and 19% (n = 8) of all epec iso...

BACKGROUND Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) belonging to the SHV family remain a major cause of ESBL-positive phenotypes in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The bla(SHV) gene is a normal constituent of the K. pneumoniae chromosome. However, most ESBL-encoding bla(SHV) genes found in K. pneumoniae are plasmid borne. The objective was to determine the contribution of promoter variants to the expre...

Resistance to oxyimino cephalosporins antibiotics in Enterobacteriaceae is primarily done by the extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Clear identification of risk factors for ESBL-producing infections is necessary. Therefore, efficient strategies can be developed to decrease outbreak of these infections. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial susceptibility and ESBLs patter...
