Despite the recent global spread of CTX-M beta-lactamases in Escherichia coli isolates from community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs), their dissemination has been little studied in developing countries. In a 2-year prospective study, we documented the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in E. coli that were responsible for CA-UTIs in Phnom-Penh, Cambodia. Ninety...
With the occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa being increasingly reported worldwide, there is a need for a reliable test to detect ESBLs in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. In our study, a total of 75 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were studied. Nitrocefin tests were performed to detect the beta-lactamase enzyme; isoelectric focusing electroph...
TEM- or SHV-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs) are of clinical concern in Europe and the United States, whereas bacterial strains producing such types of ESBLs had not been reported in Japan for many years. Toho-1, a different type class A ESBL, has been reported in 1995, in which any prototypical enzyme has not been identified so far. At present Toho-1 is the major ESBL in Japan, ho...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Data on the epidemiology of OXA-type extended-spectrum beta (beta)-lactamases (ESBLs) are limited due to difficulty of identification by routine microbiology laboratories. We determined the prevalence rate of OXA-type beta-lactamases among extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC)-non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates at a university hospital in southern Taiwan. M...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE AmpC β lactamases are one of the important causes of drug resistance in gram negative bacteria. Failure to detect these enzymes in the laboratory has contributed to therapeutic failures but there are till date no standard guideline available. This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate three phenotypic laboratory tests and the inhibitors used in two of the tests to ...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Acinetobacter baumannii can cause a wide range of infections, including bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, peritonitis, etc. This organism is becoming resistant to a large group of antibiotics, especially β-lactam antibiotics. The reason for multi-drug resistance may be the production of extended- spectrum β-lactamses (ESBLs), carbapenemases/metallo β-lactam...
The Oxoid combination disk method for detecting extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) depends on comparing the inhibition zones of cefpodoxime (10-microg) and cefpodoxime-plus-clavulanate (10- plus 1-microg) disks. The presence of clavulanate enlarged the zones for all of 180 ESBL-producing klebsiellae by >/=5 mm, whereas zones for cefpodoxime-susceptible isolates and cefpodoxime-resistant ...
Routine detection of AmpC beta lactamases in Escherichia coli is cumbersome. This study was performed to determine the usefulness of a modified disc diffusion test to detect AmpC beta lactamases in E.coli. 28 non-repetitive, cefoxitin resistant isolates of E.coli were collected from cases of urinary tract infections and screened phenotypically for ESBLs and AmpC beta lactamase using DDST (cefta...
Microbial drug resistance is a growing problem of global magnitude. In gram-negative pathogens, the most important resistance problems are encountered in Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter, with increasing trends observed for all major anti-gram-negative agents (beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides). A matter of major concern is the emergence of new beta-...
Despite the discovery of novel beta-lactamases such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), imported AmpC, and carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases at least a decade ago, there remains a low level of awareness of their importance and how to detect them. There is a need to increase the levels of awareness of clinical laboratories about the detection of newer beta-lactamases. Therefore, a...
