Prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and molecular detection of blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX-M genotypes among Enterobacteriaceae isolates from patients in Khartoum, Sudan

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2020
Introduction the emergence of antibiotic resistance pathogens is an important health risk. Usually Gram negative bacteria acquire resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics by beta-lactamase production.

Characterization of Antibiotic Resistance Determinants of Extended Spectrum β-lactamases Producing Enterobacteriaceae from Cancer Patients in South India

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022
Patients with malignancy are highly prone to infections by Extended spectrum beta-lactamases producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE). Knowledge on local resistance profile and resistance genes is essential to decide empirical drug.

Control of Growth and Persistence of Listeria monocytogenes and β-Lactam-Resistant Escherichia coli by Thymol in Food Processing Settings

Molecules, 2020
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of thymol in controlling environmental contamination in food processing facilities. The effect of thymol was tested as an agent to prevent planktonic and bacterial biofilm growth of twenty ...

Comparative genomics of ESBL-producingEscherichia coli(ESBL-Ec) reveals a similar distribution of the 10 most prevalent ESBL-Ec clones and ESBL genes among human community faecal and extra-intestinal infection isolates in the Netherlands (2014–17) [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2021
AbstractIntroductionThe human gut microbiota is an important reservoir of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec). Community surveillance studies of ESBL-Ec to monitor circulating clones and ESBL genes are logistically challenging and costly.ObjectivesTo evaluate if isolates obtained in routine clinical practice can be used as an alternative to ...

Distribution of quinolone resistance gene (qnr) in ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. in Lomé, Togo

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2019
Qnr genes are known to confer a low-level resistance to fluoroquinolone in Enterobacteriaceae. They are often found on the same resistance plasmids as extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and constitute the most common antibiotic resistance mechanism ...

Close proximity interactions support transmission of ESBL-K. pneumoniae but not ESBL-E. coli in healthcare settings [PDF]

PLOS Computational Biology, 2018
AbstractAntibiotic-resistance of hospital-acquired infections is a major public health issue. The worldwide emergence and diffusion of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, including Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP), is of particular concern.

Klebsiella ESBL bacteremia-mortality and risk factors [PDF]

The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria have become recognized as a problem in South America. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors and mortality rate in bacteremia caused by ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Brazilian hospital.A three-year retrospective cohort study with 104 cases of K.

Semi-quantitative cultures of throat and rectal swabs are efficient tests to predict ESBL-Enterobacterales ventilator-associated pneumonia in mechanically ventilated ESBL carriers

Intensive Care Medicine, 2020
In ICU patients with carriage of extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) and suspected Gram-negative bacilli ventilator-associated pneumonia (GNB-VAP), the quantification of the rectal and throat ESBL-E carriage might predict

Evolution and epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and ESBL-producing microorganisms [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2001
The rapid and irrepressible increase in antimicrobial resistance of pathogenic bacteria that has been observed over the last two decades is widely accepted to be one of the major problems of human medicine today. Several aspects of this situation are especially worrying.
