The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of plasmid-mediated AmpC β-
lactamases in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from five children's hospitals in …

Detection of plasmid-mediated (PM) AmpC β-lactamase–producing isolates is considered
critical for epidemiologic studies and hospital infection control, but the documents of the …

High rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Gram-negative pathogens (GNP) have
been reported in Egypt. Antimicrobial surveillance and identifying the genetic basis of AMR …

A case–control study was performed with the objective of analysing risk factors and clinical
features of infections caused by plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase (plasmid AmpC) …

Background. Knowledge of the clinical features of infections caused by Escherichia coli
strains that produce plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase is limited. Of the several groups …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The emergence of multiple drug resistance in
Enterobacteriaceae is of particular concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

During the 30 months of surveillance period, 85 pAmpC-producing isolates were detected
(prevalence 0.56% overall): bla CMY-2 gene in 70 E. coli, 2 K. pneumoniae and 6 P …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The widespread use of beta-lactam antibiotics has lead
to the development of resistance to this group of antibiotics in bacterial pathogens due to …

Background: Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC enzymes have been
observed in virtually all species of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The β-lactamase …

SUMMARY A high prevalence of β-lactams resistance among Enterobacteriaceae have
been reported worldwide; however, there are not sufficient data on this issue in Algeria. β …
