Molecular characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Saudi Arabian tertiary hospital
H Hassan, B Abdalhamid - The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2014 - jidc.org
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum
beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.
pneumoniae), and Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis). In addition, different methods for detection
of these enzymes, including the newly introduced CHROMagar ESBL, were evaluated.
Methodology: A total of 382 Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates were obtained from King
Fahad Specialist Hospital–Dammam, during 2011 and screened for production of ESBL …

Molecular characterization of extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated from a tertiary care hospital
Infectious diseases caused by ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae are an emerging
problem worldwide which increases the empirical treatment failure, hospital cost, rate of
morbidity and mortality. This also leads to the Hospital infection outbreak. Present study was
undertaken to determine the frequency of bla TEM, bla CTX-M and bla SHV genes among
Enterobacteriaceae. A total of 751 non-repeated clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae
family were included in this study. Antibiotic susceptibility test was done and minimal …
