Molecular characterization of a new plasmid-encoded SHV-type -lactamase (SHV-2 variant) conferring high-level cefotaxime resistance upon Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1991 Between 1986 and 1988, multiresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains exhibiting high-level cefotaxime resistance were isolated from patient specimens particularly of the intensive care units of the Aachen Technical University Hospital. The resistance gene responsible was shown to be encoded on a conjugative 66 kb plasmid designated pZMP1. The MIC values

A degenerate PCR-based strategy as a means of identifying homologues of aminoglycoside and ß-lactam resistance genes in the gut microbiota [PDF]
, 2014 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.

Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health, 2023 The increase in the prevalence of infections caused by certain bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumoniae), is a global health concern. Bacterial production of an enzyme called extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) can generate resistance to

Classification of Birds and UAVs Based on Radar Polarimetry [PDF]
, 2016 This letter aims to show the potential of using polarimetric parameters to distinguish between large birds and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of comparable size in the context of a modern long-range air defense radar. Time is a critical resource in such

Activity of sulbactam in combination with ceftriaxone in vitro and in experimental endocarditis caused by Escherichia coli producing SHV-2-like beta-lactamase [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1990 We studied the efficacy of sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, in combination with ceftriaxone in vitro and in experimental endocarditis due to an Escherichia coli strain producing an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase most similar to SHV-2, a new mechanism of resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae ...

Identification d'une nouvelle salmonelle multirésistante dans une viande de poulet de chair au Sénégal [PDF]
, 2000 L'analyse microbiologique d'une carcasse de poulet de chair au Sénégal a permis de mettre en évidence un nouveau sérotype de salmonelle. Celui-ci présente la particularité de posséder deux gènes de résistance aux antibiotiques ; il n'est sensible qu'aux ...

Expression of SHV-2 β-Lactamase and of Reduced Amounts of OmpK36 Porin in Klebsiella pneumoniae Results in Increased Resistance to Cephalosporins and Carbapenems [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2002 ABSTRACT A Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate was resistant to cefoxitin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftazidime-clavulanate, piperacillin-tazobactam (MICs, >256 μg/ml in all cases), and meropenem (MIC, 16 μg/ml) and was intermediate to imipenem (MIC, 8 μg/ml). Decreased expression of the OmpK36 porin

Influence of human urine to antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli producing β-lactamase of different types [PDF]
Medicinski Glasnik, 2007 The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of human urine on the antibiotic susceptibilities of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli strains producing different types of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). The study was performed on
