Background: β-lactamases viz., extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC, and metallo
β-lactamase (MBL) production in Klebsiella pneumoniae has led to a serious concern about …

A total of 14 phenotypically similar clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, resistant to
multiple drugs including cefotaxime and ceftazidime, were isolated from blood of neonates …

Background & objectives: Clinical laboratories need to develop quick screening methods for
detection of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) & Amplified C (AmpC) β-Lactamase …

The present study was designed to determine the antimicrobial resistance and extended-
spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) activities of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from the …

Methods: A total of 100 clinical isolates of Klebsiella spp isolated from 2995 blood samples
of suspected cases of neonatal septicaemia were studied. Antimicrobial susceptibility was …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the major bacteria that cause acute infections. β-
lactamases are main defensive mechanisms in bacteria against drugs. The aim of this study …

A study was conducted to examine the incidence of extended spectrum β-lactamases
(ESBL)-producing strains and multiple drug-resistant strains of K. pneumoniae isolated from …

Klebsiella pneumoniae has long been a prominent cause of nosocomial infections and
outbreaks have been observed in the intensive care units and in high risk groups. We …

A 10-day old preterm neonate, appropriate for the date, was admitted for lethargy and
feeding intolerance. By culturing its blood, the antibiogram of the causative bacterium was …

Objective: There is an increased prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase
producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) worldwide including India, which is a major …
