Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntimicrobial Pattern and Clonal Dissemination of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Spp IsolatesSobhan Ghafourian, Nourkhoda Sadeghifard, Zamberi bin Sekawi et al.Problem statement: Gram-negative pathogens harboring ESBLs have caused numerous outbreaks of infections and are becoming an increasing therapeutic problem in many countries. The incidence of ESBL-producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years resulting in limitations of therapeutic option. The focus of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp, investigate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,898 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtended-Spectrum β-Lactamases Producing Escherichia coli Strains Monitored Over 4 Years in The University Hospital in Košice, SlovakiaViera Lovayová, Lucia Vargová, Mária Nagyová et al.The beta-lactamases with extended spectrum of activity (ESBL) are medically one of the most important group of enzymes. The presented study provides identification and determination of the spectrum of resistance against different and clinically used antimicrobial drugs in the clinical isolates of Escherichia coli. These isolates had their origin in different departments of the University Hospital L. Pasteur in Košice. … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2016 · 14,537 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Clonal Clusters of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from Chennai by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Genotyping and Antibiotic Resistance Phenotyping AnalysisC. Kamatchi, H. Magesh, Uma Sekhar, Rama VaidyanathanProblem statement: An increased resistance to antibiotics has been reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae, an opportunistic gram negative pathogen belonging to Entrobacteraceae due to the evolution and spread of plasmid encoded extended spectrum beta lactamases and other genes conferring cross-resistance to other antibiotics. This is of concern due to the increasing cost of antibiotic treatment and the spread of multidrug resistance … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,953 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStrains of Klebsiella Pneumoniae from Intensive Care Unit Producing CTX-M-15 Extended Spectrum Beta LactamasesI.R. Iroha, A.E. Oji, A.E. Nwakaeze et al.Problem statement: Resistance to third generation cephalosporins due to acquisition and expression of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) among Gram-negative bacteria is on the increase. Infections involving extended spectrum beta lactamase bacteria are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, infections due to ESBL isolates continue to pose a serious challenge to infection management worldwide. Since screening for ESBL is not … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,826 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDetection of Extended-Spectrum β Lactamases and AmpC β-Lactamase Production in Escherichia coli Causing Urinary Tract Infection among HIV and Non-HIV PatientsPadmavathy Kesavaram, Padma Krishnan, Rajasekaran SikhamaniProblem statement: Opportunistic infections have been documented as a leading cause of morbidity among HIV patients. Gram negative pathogens that elaborate beta-lactamases have been reported to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, especially amongst immunocompromised patients on intensive care and high-dependency units. The most common mechanism of β-lactam drug resistance in Escherichia coli include ESBL, AmpC production. Approach: In … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,834 accessesView PDF Cite
