Our study reports a high occurrence of PMQR (plasmid‐mediated quinolone resistance) Salmonella in surface water, posing a significant public health risk as these resistant strains can contaminate foods through irrigation potentially leading to outbreaks of severe foodborne illness.

Comparison of virulence factors between ESBL and non-ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates
Background and Objectives: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Its pathogenicity is associated with a variety of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance. The aim of the present study was to compare virulence attributes between ESBL and non-ESBL producing isolates.

Prevalence and risk factors for carriage of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Amsterdam
Objectives The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of carriage of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) in a representative sample of the general adult Dutch community, to identify risk factors and to gain understanding of the ...

ABSTRACT Extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing Enterobacterales infections are associated with high mortality rates. Ertapenem is recommended as one of the first‐line drugs due to its efficacy against these pathogens. However, physiological changes in critically ill patients may influence drug pharmacokinetics.

A degenerate PCR-based strategy as a means of identifying homologues of aminoglycoside and ß-lactam resistance genes in the gut microbiota [PDF]
peer-reviewedBackground: The potential for the human gut microbiota to serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes has been the subject of recent discussion. However, this has yet to be investigated using a rapid PCR-based approach.

ESBL- FROM PETRI DISH TO THE PATIENT
Treatment of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing strains of Enterobacteriaceae has emerged as a major challenge in hospitalised as well as community based patients. Infections due to ESBL producers range from uncomplicated urinary tract infection to life threatening sepsis.
