Proteus spp. are commensal Enterobacterales of the human digestive tract. At the same
time, P. mirabilis is commonly involved in urinary tract infections (UTI). P. mirabilis is …

In the last decade, extended-spectrum cephalosporin and carbapenem resistant Gram-
negative bacilli (GNB) have been extensively reported in the literature as being …

Escherichia coli strains belonging to diverse pathotypes have increasingly been recognized
as a major public health concern. The β-lactam antibiotics have been used successfully to …

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 …

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

Beta-lactamase (BL) production is a major public health problem. Although not the most
frequent AmpC type, AmpC-BL is increasingly isolated, especially plasmid AmpC-BL …

Objective The production of β-lactamase enzymes such as AmpC β-lactamases and
extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is among the main mechanisms for resistance to …

Introduction: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPECs) are a significant cause of urinary tract
infections (UTIs). In Kenya, UTIs are typically treated with β-lactam antibiotics without …

The accelerated dispersion of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli due to the
production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) or AmpC enzymes has been noted …

Summary Background Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae can cause severe
infections with high morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Individuals can be fecal …
