Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from clinical specimens in Accra using …

The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance genes and resistant bacteria do not
recognize animal, human, or geographic boundaries. Addressing this threat requires a …

Abstract Background Infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae are mainly treated with the β-
lactam antibiotics, nevertheless, the emergence of species with plasmid-borne β-lactamases …

The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains and even pan drug resistant (PDR)
strains is alarming. In this study, we studied the resistance pattern of E. coli pathogens …

Background Proteus mirabilis is an opportunistic pathogen, causing a variety of community-
acquired and nosocomial illnesses. It poses a potential threat to patients via the production …

The treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) has been complicated by the emergence of
multidrug-resistant, β-lactamase-expressing pathogens. As a result of the limited treatment …

Background Escherichia coli (E. coli), the main human gut microorganism, is one of the
evolved superbugs because of acquiring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants via …

Abstract Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) producing extended-spectrum
β-lactamases (ESBL) cause serious human infections due to their virulence and multidrug …

Background: The global emergence and spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase
