Providencia stuartii is frequently associated with nosocomial outbreaks and displays intrinsic resistance to many commonly used antimicrobials. We report here the draft genome sequence of a P. stuartii strain carrying acquired resistance genes conferring panresistance to cephalosporins (blaSHV-5 and blaVEB-1), carbapenems (blaVIM-1), and aminoglycosides (rmtB) involved in an outbreak in Greek h...

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine the occurrence of human disease-causing enteric bacteria on raw vegetables, fruits, meats, and milk products sold in Indian markets. The study further aimed to analyze antibiotic resistance rates and the presence of blaCTX-M, blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaAmpC. METHODOLOGY Twenty-three food-borne and 23 clinical isolates were compared for antibiotic re...

During the last years, outbreaks and countrywide spread of isolates producing -lactamases of the AmpC type or carbapenemases have been reported (1, 2). We detected three Proteus mirabilis isolates with reduced susceptibility to cephalosporins and carbapenems at the Alexandrovska University Hospital in Sofia. They were isolated between November 2011 and January 2012 from the urine of three patie...

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of clinical isolates is a crucial step toward appropriate treatment of infectious diseases. The clinical isolate Francisella philomiragia 14IUHPL001, recently isolated from a 63-year-old woman with atypical pneumonia, featured decreased susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics when cultivated in 5% CO2. Quantitative β-lactamase assays demonstrated a significan...

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most prevalent in patients worldwide. Escherichia coli is considered as etiological agent of UTIs. The prevalence extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolates a health care concern aims this study was to determine antibiotic resistance profiles and blaCTXM, blaSHV, blaTEM genes E. isolated from clinical samples obtained with Me...

conclusions: our findings suggest the possible co-carriage of some blashv genes and aris on the same plasmids harboring the mdr genes. possible role of integrons in dissemination of esbl-encoding blashv genes among esbl-producing k. pneumoniae nosocomial isolates may be inferred. background: some genetic and phenotypic variables are associated among distinct microbial populations. objectives: t...
