Introduction: Infections from extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) producing
enterobacteriaceae are increasingly being reported in the community setting. These …

Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBLs) that mediate resistance to 3rd generation
cephalosporins were investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence …

Objectives: To enumerate and characterize extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)
amongst ceftriaxone-resistant coliforms in Blantyre, Malawi, where third-generation …

Objective Resistance to antibiotics most especially third generation cephalosporins has
assumed a worrisome dimension globally. Genes conferring these resistance which are …

Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a group of enzymes that can hydrolyze a
variety of β-lactams including fourth generation cephalosporins and compromise the efficacy …

Background There is no information regarding the resistance mechanisms of extended-

Background Resistance to third generation cephalosporins due to acquisition and
expression of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) enzymes among Gram-negative …

Background Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in Gram-negative organisms is now
a major concern in Enterobacteriaceae worldwide. This study determined a point …
