Escherichia coli is generally considered as a commensal inhabitant of gastrointestinal tract
of humans and animals. The aim of this study was to gain insight on the distribution of …

Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of antibiotic resistance
factors, including the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and the …

The objective of this investigation was to analyse the carriage rate of extended-spectrum
beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli in faecal samples of healthy humans in …

The emergence of Escherichia coli resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) is
of concern as ESC is often used to treat infections by Gram-negative bacteria. One-hundred …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production is an important resistance mechanism
among clinical isolates of Enterobacter cloacae. TEM, SHV, and CTX-M are the most …

Five hundred and ninety seven Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates were obtained from clinical
specimens at the Songklanagarind Hospital in Songkhla Province, Thailand during 2003 …

Background The study investigated the presence of CTX-M-15 type extended spectrum beta-
lactamases (ESBL), compared their genetic arrangements and plasmid types in gram …

Escherichia coli is a common cause of community‑and hospital‑acquired urinary tract
infections, and class 1 integrons are the prior elements of gene transference in the capture …

Background The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli
(ESBL-EC) has increased recently. The aim of this study was to further characterise and to …

The increased frequency of antibiotic resistance is known to be associated with the
dissemination of integrons in the Enterobacteriaceae. This study determined the prevalence …
