Expression of ESBL, MBL and AmpC β lactamases by extra intestinal Escherichia coli isolates: correlation with treatment and clinical outcome [PDF]
Objective:We investigated the expression of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBLs), AmpC β lactamases and Carbapenemases in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) isolates and correlated with treatment and outcome of the patients. Methods:

Two Novel CMY-2-Type β-Lactamases Encountered in Clinical Escherichia Coli Isolates [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Chromosomally encoded AmpC β-lactamases may be acquired by transmissible plasmids which consequently can disseminate into bacteria lacking or poorly expressing a chromosomal bla AmpC gene.

Resistance to carbapenems in non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars from humans, animals and food [PDF]
Non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica (NTS) are a leading cause of food-borne disease in animals and humans worldwide. Like other zoonotic bacteria, NTS have the potential to act as reservoirs and vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial ...

Detection of AmpC Beta-lactamases among Escherichia coli isolates at a tertiary care hospital in Karnataka [PDF]
Background & objective: AmpC β-lactamases are clinically significant because they may confer resistance to a wide variety of β-lactam drugs, including α-methoxy-β-lactams, such as cefoxitin, narrow-, expanded- and broad-spectrum cephalosporins, β-lactam ...

Coexistence of β-Lactamases in Community-Acquired Infections in a Tertiary Care Hospital in India
Introduction. The trends of β-lactamases producing Enterobacteriaceae is ever increasing, and limited studies have reported investigating coexistence of β lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae.

While Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamases barely degrade carbapenem antibiotics, they are able to bind carbapenems and prevent them from interacting with penicillin-binding proteins, thereby inhibiting their activity.

Associations between β-Lactamase Types of Acinetobacter baumannii and Antimicrobial Resistance
Background and objective: Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important nosocomial pathogen that not only possesses intrinsic resistance to many classes of antibiotics, but is also capable of rapidly developing antimicrobial resistance during ...
