The production of extended-spectrum-β lactamases (ESBLs) is an important mechanism for
resistance to the third-generation cephalosporins. ESBLs represent a major group of …

Materials and Methods A total of 200 consecutive, nonrepeat clinical isolates of K.
pneumoniae obtained from various clinical specimens sent to the microbiology laboratory of …

AmpC β-lactamase enzymes confer resistance to a wide variety of β-lactam antibiotics,
except carbapenems. AmpC β-lactamase-producing bacteria are known to be causative …

Increasing resistance to 3 rd generation Cephalosporins amongst E. coli and Klebsiella spp.
is predominantly due to the production of Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). ESBL …

Background and objectives: Emergence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)
producing bacteria is a major public health concern. Detection of multi drug resistant (MDR) …

Context: AmpC type cephalosporinases are Ambler class C β-lactamases. They hydrolyze
penicillins, cephalosporins; except the fourth-generation compounds and monobactams. To …

Background & Objective: Pseudomonsa aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanii are
common non-fermenters which have emerged as the most common opportunistic pathogens …

Male factor infertility accounts for 40–60% of global couples suffering from infertility. Multiple
antibacterial resistances have constituted a serious impediment against the effective …

In India, there have been reports of high prevalence of antibiotic resistance in intensive care
units but very little data regarding the attempt to de-escalate. While de-escalation is gaining …

Background: Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are β-lactamases which can
hydrolyse the penicillin and cephalosporin group of antibiotics. Emergence of ESBLs in …
