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 …

Drug resistance in microorganisms, specifically bacteria pathogens, is a serious threat to
patients worldwide. Multidrug-resistance of bacteria to a broad spectrum of conventional …

Abstract Background South-Asia is known as a hub for multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria.
Unfortunately, proper surveillance and documentation of MDR pathogens is lacking in …

Background and objectives: Multidrug-resistant E. coli expressing extended-spectrum β-
lactamase pose serious challenges to clinicians for the therapeutic management of clinical …

Objective: To determine the burden of AmpC beta-lactamase producing Klebsiella
pneumoniae and its antimicrobial profile among paediatric patients. Methods: This cross …

Overuse and misuse of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance which has become a
significant public health concern. Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most common pathogenic …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the phenotype and genotype of plasmid‑
mediated AmpC (pAmpC) β‑lactamase in Klebsiella pneumoniae and its antibiotic …

Background: AmpC β-lactamase confers resistance to a variety of β-lactam agents, and all
plasmid-mediated AmpC genes are considered clinically significant. The transfer of the …

Background Antimicrobial resistance has remained global public health threat. Carriage with
drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, particularly beta-lactamase and carbapenemase …

Background/aim: Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) production among E. coli is
one of the principal mechanisms that augment resistance to antibiotics. In the current study …
