Extended-spectrum β-lactamase Enterobacteriaceae from patients in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: Antibiotic susceptibility and molecular approaches

Journal of Contemporary Medical Sciences, 2021
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the Enterobacteriaceae strains among patients who suffering diarrhea, phenotypic and genotypic characterization of ESBL-producing isolates in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: Stool samples were collected and cultured to determine the different Enterobacteriaceae strains, PCR was done for the isolates to detect ...

β-Lactamase is encoded on plasmid pACK3 inStaphylococcus simulansbiovarstaphylolyticus [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991
Abstract Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus , the lysostaphin-producing organism, contains five plasmids designated pACK1 through pACK5. Hybridization analysis using cloned β-lactamase gene ( bla ) as probe and characterization of cured strains revealed that bla resides on pACK3 rather than on the lysostaphin endopeptidase plasmid ...

In Vitro Susceptibility of Aztreonam-Vaborbactam, Aztreonam-Relebactam and Aztreonam-Avibactam Associations against Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria

Antibiotics, 2023
Background: Despite the availability of new options (ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam and cefiderocol), it is still very difficult to treat infections caused by metallo-β-lactamase (MBLs)-producers resistant to aztreonam.

SUSCEPTIBILITY AND DETECTION OF EXTENDED SPECTRUM β-LACTAMASE ENZYMES FROM OTITIS MEDIA PATHOGENS [PDF]

American Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
Otitis media is the bacterial infection of the middle ear usually accompanied with inflammation, effusions and pain. It can present clinically in two major forms: Acute Otitis Media (AOM) and Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and it is one of the leading cause of hospital visits and antibiotic prescriptions amongst children and even adults.

Old and New Beta-Lactamase Inhibitors: Molecular Structure, Mechanism of Action, and Clinical Use

Antibiotics, 2021
The β-lactams have a central place in the antibacterial armamentarium, but the increasing resistance to these drugs, especially among Gram-negative bacteria, is becoming one of the major threats to public health worldwide.

Detection of cfxA2, cfxA3, and cfxA6 genes in beta-lactamase producing oral anaerobes

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2016
Purpose The aim of this study was to identify β-lactamase-producing oral anaerobic bacteria and screen them for the presence of cfxA and BlaTEM genes that are responsible for β-lactamase production and resistance to β-lactam antibiotics.

Mutation of serine residue 318 in the class C β-lactamase ofEnterobacter cloacae908R [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992
The involvement of the serine residue 318 in the specificity of a class C β-lactamase was investigated. Multiple site-directed mutants at this position were generated using a polymerase chain reaction technique. These mutants were then probed for their activity towards various β-lactam compounds.

Molecular Docking Approach of Viscosin as Antibacterial for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Via β-Lactamase Inhibitor Mechanism

Clinical and Research Journal in Internal Medicine, 2021
Background: β-lactamase is an enzyme that plays a role in the occurrence of antibiotic resistance against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. Viscosin is a lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by the Pseudomonas group bacteria.

Dual RNase and β-lactamase Activity of a Single Enzyme Encoded in Archaea

Life, 2020
β-lactam antibiotics have a well-known activity which disturbs the bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and may be cleaved by β-lactamases. However, these drugs are not active on archaea microorganisms, which are naturally resistant because of the lack of β ...
