Background. The prevalence of infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase
(ESBL)–producing Enterobacteriaceae is increasing worldwide. The influx of these bacteria …

The prevalence of isolation of imipenem-resistant Enterobacter (IRE) strains is rising, with
potential serious consequences in terms of patients' outcomes and general care. The study …

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are widespread in hospitals and have been increasingly
isolated from aquatic environments. The aim of the present study was to characterize …

We compared the susceptibility of 312 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing
Enterobacteriaceae isolates with that of 1,216 ESBL nonproducers. Of ESBL producers …

Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) 3–producing Escherichia coli was
isolated from a carrier of KPC-3–producing K. pneumoniae. The KPC-3 plasmid was …

This study aimed to assess the frequency of Klebsiella pneumoniae in food samples and to
detect antibiotic resistance phenotypes, antimicrobial resistance genes and the molecular …

ABSTRACT Six multiresistant, NDM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were
recovered from an outbreak that affected six neonatal patients in a Colombian hospital …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of
carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in Shanghai Children's Hospital in …

More than half of all currently used antibiotics belong to the beta-lactam group, but their
clinical effectiveness is severely limited by antibiotic resistance of microorganisms that are …

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalences of plasmid-mediated AmpC β-
lactamases (PABLs) in isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. from a university …
