objective(s):blactx-mand blaper are two genes that encode class a extended-spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) and can be responsible for therapeutic problems. this study was carried out to evaluate the molecular properties of these genes in clinical isolates of enterobacteriaceae by polymerase chain reaction (pcr), restriction digestion and sequencing. materials and methods: during six months, start...

To study molecular epidemiology of CTX-M-55-carrying Escherichia coli isolates from urinary tract infections (UTIs) in China. 111 blaCTX-M-55-positive E.coli isolates from UTIs patients in China were studied. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were used to analyze the homologies among the strains. Conjugation experiments, S1nuclease PFGE and PCR analys...

Background & Aims: One of the most common causes of bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is beta-lactamase producing. The aim of this study was to compare the antibiotic resistance of urinary Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates producing CTX-M and TEM type beta-lactamases, and to determine the strains with co-resistance to multiple antibiotics in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: E. coli b...

OBJECTIVES blaCTX-M and blaPER are two genes that encode class A extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and can be responsible for therapeutic problems. This study was carried out to evaluate the molecular properties of these genes in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction digestion and sequencing. MATERIALS AND METHODS During six months, start...

conclusions the results indicate that the rates of esbls are high in urine e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates from tehran hospitals. also this study indicates that the urine isolates from male patients are significantly more resistant than the female isolates. materials and methods a total of 190 e. coli and k. pneumoniae isolates were collected from patients’ urine samples in hospitals from te...

The aim of this study was to detect the presence carbapenem resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) in cattle and pigs. Altogether, 100 samples were collected, 50 each from pigs including mastitic milk faecal healthy as well diarrhoeic slaughter specimens Bacteria isolated antibiotic sensitivity test carried out. Eight isolates E. obtained 15 phenotypic resistance patterns against carbapenems (ert...

Background The CTX-M family of extended-spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) enzymes is comprised of over 60 blaCTX-M gene variants with the predominance of blaCTX-M-15 in many regions. In this report, we present the first description of blaCTX-M-28 in the United Arab Emirates. Methods Forty-five non-duplicate ESBL producing isolates identified in a secondary care facility in the United Arab Emirat...

The rapid dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has significantly contributed to public health hazard globally. A total of 281 E. coli strains recovered from pigs and chickens between 2009 and 2015 in South Korea were analyzed for ESBL production. ESBL phenotypes were recognized in 14 E. coli isolates; ten and three ESBLproducing isolates carried only ...

Escherichia coli isolates from various sources 2018 to 2019 were included in the study. Mcr-1 genes found two of 105 animal strains (2%) and seven 928 human (0.8%). All mcr-1-positive showed a low level resistance colistin (MIC ranged 4 8 µg/ml). Both isolated animals remained sensitive betalactam antibiotics did not contain beta-lactamase genes. Beta-lactamases absent only one humans. Four res...

Nosocomial infections are very common in African hospitals, particularly in neonatal units. These infections are most often caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp and Staphylococcus spp. Salmonella strains are rarely involved in nosocomial infections. Here, we report the first description of S. Grumpensis in neonatal infections in Senegal. Seventeen Salmonella strains were ...
