extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and KPC carbapenemase genes in …

Enterobacteriaceae is one of the most important causes of critical nosocomial and
community-onset bacterial infections. In recent decades, the spread of resistance to β-lactam …

During a β-lactam resistance surveillance study, 12 IMP-18-positive Pseudomonas

beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing Escherichia coli and vancomycin‐resistant enterococci …

Twenty-three Klebsiella pneumoniae (bla DHA-1) clinical isolates exhibited a range of
susceptibilities to LYS228, with MICs of≥ 8 μg/ml for 9 of these. Mutants with decreased …

This study assesses the nasal occurrence of β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
both in patients in a hospital department of infectious diseases at admission and in healthy …

The current discourse on infectious disease and drug resistance as it affects sub-Saharan
Africa is limited to the pressing problems associated with HIV, TB, malaria and other …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, and
biofilm formation enables bacteria to resist antibiotic at much higher concentrations than …
