Background: The growing increase in the rates of antibiotic resistance is a major cause for
concern in both non-fermenting bacilli and isolates of the Enterobacteriaceae family. β …

CONTEXT: Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing bacteria lead to resistance to carbapenem
an antibiotic that used as the last resort for treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria …

Rapid detection of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing gram-negative pathogens is
critical to prevent their widespread dissemination. Thus far, no standardized phenotypic …

Background Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing isolates have a strong impact on
diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. A high frequency of MBL-producing gram-negative …

Background The increased prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative isolates
caused by Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) is worrisome in clinical settings worldwide. The …

Introduction: The rapid spread of acquired metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) among major
Gram-negative pathogens is an emerging threat and a matter of particular concern …

Introduction: The emergence of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) in gram negative bacilli (GNB) is
becoming a therapeutic challenge worldwide. Detection of MBL is also a challenge for …

ABSTRACT Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) can confer resistance to most β-lactams, including
carbapenems. Their emergence in gram-negative pathogens is a matter of major concern …

ABSTRACT Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are transmissible carbapenemases of increasing
prevalence in Gram-negative bacteria among health care facilities worldwide. Control of the …

Background The increasing and rapid spread of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) producing
Enterobacteriaceae, particularly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae represents an …
