The production of β-lactamase enzymes is the main mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in gramnegative bacilli. Therefore, it is important to identify the β-lactamases-producing bacteria for the treatment of caused infections. This article aimed to review the recent literature and guidelines regarding phenotypic detection of β-lactamases in common gram-negative bacilli in clinical sa...
UNLABELLED β-Lactam antibiotics are the drugs of choice to treat pneumococcal infections. The spread of β-lactam-resistant pneumococci is a major concern in choosing an effective therapy for patients. Systematically tracking β-lactam resistance could benefit disease surveillance. Here we developed a classification system in which a pneumococcal isolate is assigned to a "PBP type" based on seque...
Background and purpose: Acinetobacter has emerged as a significant opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections. Treatment of infections due to this organism is becoming a serious clinical concern and this bacterium is frequently resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics such as family of β-lactam drugs. β-lactamases enzyme represent the main mechanism of bacterial resista...
The SOS response, a conserved regulatory network in bacteria that is induced in response to DNA damage, has been shown to be associated with the emergence of resistance to antibiotics. Previously, we demonstrated that heterogeneous (HeR) MRSA strains, when exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of oxacillin, were able to express a homogeneous high level of resistance (HoR). Moreover, we showe...
This study was undertaken to investigate drug resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains isolated from bamboo rats in Zhejiang province of China. One hundred and fifty-four E. coli strains were isolated from dead bamboo rats. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the representative genes encoding resistance to commonly used β-lactam antibiotics. Highest resistance was observe...
β-lactamases are enzymes which inactivate the β-lactam antibacterial agents and are one of the major causes of resistance against these drugs. Recently there are reports on the isolation of bacteria which does not produce β-lactamase, but are resistant to penicillins. In the present study, β-laclamase production was determined using iodometric method on 150 ampicillin resistance Escherichia col...
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a worldwide health concern. The world health organization in its 2017 tuberculosis report states, “TB is the ninth leading cause of death worldwide and the leading cause from a single infectious agent, ranking above HIV/AIDS” [1-3]. The failure to control TB is due to the emergence of Mtb strains that are resistant to first line ...
Antibiotic selection is challenging in patients with severe β-lactam allergy due to declining reliability of alternate antibiotics. Organisms isolated from these patients may exhibit unique resistance phenotypes. The objective of this study was to determine which alternate antibiotics or combinations provide adequate empirical therapy for patients with β-lactam allergy who develop Gram-negative...
β-Lactamases are the main cause of bacterial resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins and related β-lactam compounds. These enzymes inactivate the antibiotics by hydrolysing the amide bond of the β-lactam ring. Class A β-lactamases are the most widespread enzymes and are responsible for numerous failures in the treatment of infectious diseases. The introduction of new β-lactam compounds, which...
β-lactam antibiotics are a broad class of antibiotics, consisting of all antibiotic agents that contain a β-lactam nucleus in its molecular structure. Till now β-lactams like penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems have been developed. Resistance to various β-lactam antibiotics among target pathogens were started with its first use.The most widespread and important cause is th...
