Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases [PDF]
The definition of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) has expanded rapidly, in terms of both the number and the variety of enzymes. Bacteria bearing plasmidic ESBLs are spreading widely throughout the world.

Multiparametric determination of genes and their point mutations for identification of beta-lactamases [PDF]
More than half of all currently used antibiotics belong to the beta-lactam group, but their clinical effectiveness is severely limited by antibiotic resistance of microorganisms that are the causative agents of infectious diseases. Several mechanisms for

Beta-lactamase induction and cell wall metabolism in Gram-negative bacteria
Production of beta-lactamases, the enzymes that degrade beta-lactam antibiotics, is the most widespread and threatening mechanism of antibiotic resistance.

Cefotaxime/sulbactam: clinical and pharmacological characteristics [PDF]
The recently approved cefotaxime/sulbactam, combination of third-generation cephalosporin (cefotaxime) and beta-lactamase inhibitor (sulbactam), can combat resistance mechanisms associated with the production of serine beta-lactamases, including some ...

Imipenem resistance in clinical Escherichia coli from Qom, Iran [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The emergence of metallo-\u3b2-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae is a worldwide health concern. In this study, the first evaluation of MBL genes, bla IMP and bla VIM , in Escherichia coli resistant to imipenem isolated from urine and ...

Effect of β-lactamase inhibitors on in vitro activity of β-lactam antibiotics against Burkholderia cepacia complex species [PDF]
Background: Bacteria belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are an important cause of chronic respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Intrinsic resistance to a wide range of antimicrobial agents, including a variety of beta-

Broad-spectrum β-lactamases among Enterobacteriaceae of animal origin: molecular aspects, mobility and impact on public health [PDF]
Broad-spectrum β-lactamase genes (coding for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases) have been frequently demonstrated in the microbiota of food-producing animals. This may pose a human health hazard since these genes may be present
