background: organisms producing ctx-m-β-lactamase are emerging around the world as a source of resistance to oxyiminocephalosporins such as cefotaxime. however, the laboratory detection of these strains is not well defined. the aim of this study was to determine the presence and prevalence of known ctx-m-β-lactamases genes in clinical isolates of  escherichia coli from hospitals of tehran. meth...

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella are one of the most important public health problems in developed countries. ESBL-producing Salmonella strains have been isolated from humans in Asian countries neighboring Japan, along with strains harboring the plasmid-mediated extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC)-resistance gene, ampC (pAmpC). However, only a few studies have investi...

We compared the resistomes within polluted and unpolluted rivers, focusing on extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes, in particular bla(CTX-M). Twelve rivers from a Portuguese hydrographic basin were sampled. Physicochemical and microbiological parameters of water quality were determined, and the results showed that 9 rivers were classified as unpolluted (UP) and that 3 were classified a...

conclusions the prevalence of esbl-producing klebsiella strains in shahid-beheshti hospital in kashan has increased. the study concluded that there was a high prevalence of the blactx-m type gene among esbl positive isolates. patients and methods one hundred klebsiella spp. were isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients at shahid-beheshti hospital from december 2012 to november ...

Introduction: A total of (116) diarrhea-sufficient patient samples gathered from February 15, 2019 to April 2019. Methodology: Using colonial morphology, microscopic examination, biochemical testing, and the 20 R API Enter systems, bacteria were able be identified. Ultimate "PCR" identification E. coli ("MDH" gene). Result: Rendering results obtained according morphological, cultural characters...

A total of 318 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from different food-producing animals affected with colibacillosis between 2001 and 2006 were subjected to phylogenetic analysis: 72 bovine isolates, 89 poultry isolates and 157 porcine isolates. Overall, the phylogenetic group A was predominant in isolates from cattle (36/72, 50%) and pigs (101/157, 64.3%) whereas groups A (44/89, 49.4%) and D ...

Relevance A common mechanism of resistance is the synthesis enzymes that inactivate antibiotic (AB). Since its discovery at end 20th century, ESBLs have spread widely throughout world. Representatives this group complex protein compounds properties hydrolysis ß-lactam antibiotics and differ from each other in amino acid sequence. The genetic determinants determine their are bla-CTX-M, bla-SHV, ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes in Escherichia coli isolated from post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) piglets in Heilongjiang province, China. METHODS Of 458 E. coli isolated from 589 fecal samples from PWD piglets, a total of 198 isolates were confirmed as ESBL producers by the double-disk synergy test (DDST). Polym...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate CHROMagar CTX (CHROMagar France), a novel agar for the selective isolation of Enterobacteriaceae expressing the bla(CTX-M) gene in the presence of enteric bacteria expressing AmpC enzymes. METHODS A panel of 150 Gram-negative bacteria (mainly Escherichia coli, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Salmonella) isolated from humans and animal...
