Objective: To evaluate risk factors and treatment outcomes of bloodstream infections caused
by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) …

Over a 4-month period from November 2002 to February 2003, 27 ceftazidime-resistant or
cefotaxime-resistant nonrepetitive Enterobacter cloacae isolates were collected from 27 …

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli (MDRGN) are an important cause
of nosocomial infections in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). We conducted a 1-year …

The emergence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae has become a great
concern. The aim of this study was to characterize ertapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae …

In the present study, nonduplicate, clinical isolates of extended-spectrum β-lactamase
(ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp, and Proteus mirabilis were collected …

Non-gonococcal non-meningococcal Neisseria sp. are normal inhabitants of the upper
respiratory tract in human beings. Although these bacteria are regarded as having low …

We evaluated boronic acid (BA)-based methods for their ability to detect extended-spectrum
β-lactamases (ESBLs) among clinical isolates of KPC-producing members of the …

Background The global increase in multidrug resistance of Acinetobacter spp. has created
widespread problems in the treatment of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) of hospitals …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: A growing number of β-lactamases have been reported in
Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. The aims of this study were to survey the types of …

Enterobacter cloacae has been associated with several outbreaks, usually involving strains
that overproduce chromosomal β-lactamase or, uncommonly, strains expressing extended …
