Among 99 clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates resistant to cefoxitin and extended-
spectrum cephalosporins, coexistence of AmpC (DHA-1, CMY-2, or CMY-8) and extended …

Even though these methods have been used for nearly 20 years to differentiate bacterial
isolates they remain key technologies in proteome-based typing methods. The …

Two national surveys were conducted to describe the incidence and prevalence of
Enterobacter aerogenes in 21 Belgian hospitals in 1996 and 1997 and to characterize the …

Enterobacter cloacae strains from hospitalized patients with a range of infections were
collected by 17 laboratories in the Asia-Pacific region and South Africa. Isolates for which …

All isolates showing zone diameter of< 27mm for cefotaxime and< 25mm for ceftriaxone
were selected for ESBL production. ESBL production was tested by DDST1 using a disc of …

Background We studied the beta-lactamases of an E. aerogenes isolate recovered from the
blood of a two-year-old patient. The isolate demonstrated a disk-diffusion phenotype typical …

A Food Pathogen Enrichment (FPE) broth, which supports the growth of Campylobacter
without lysed blood and CO2, was developed. The FPE broth supports the growth of …

The Vitek-2 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) test was assessed using a collection of
94 ESBL-positive and 71 ESBL-negative non-duplicate isolates of Enterobacteriaceae …

The rapid emergence and dissemination of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter
species and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae poses a considerable threat to the …

Bone tissue engineering based on growing bone marrow stromal cells on poly (L-lactic-co-
glycolic acid) fiber meshes suffers from limited matrix production and mineralization when …
