In a developing country like India, where the patients have to bear the cost of their
healthcare, the microbiological culture and the sensitivity testing of each and every infection …

The widespread use of β-lactam antimicrobial agents as first-line therapy for the treatment of
serious infections has led to the development of various resistances that have compromised …

In early 1997, a 15-laboratory surveillance project was initiated in Venezuela to monitor the

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health concern across the globe, and it is
increasing at an alarming rate. Multiple classes of antimicrobials have been used for the …

The incidence of infection due to extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) producing
Enterobacteriaceae has markedly increased in recent years. The traditional susceptibility …

We examined the drug susceptibility pattern of Gram-negative bacilli to seven new beta-
lactams. A total of 277 non-duplicate gramnegative bacilli strains belonging to the …

Background: β lactamase is a plasmid-encoded enzyme that hydrolyzes β lactam ring of β
lactam antibiotics rendering them ineffective. These enzymes, produced by Staphylococcus …

Background & objectives: Currently, the use of beta-lactamase inhibitors in combination with
beta-lactam antibiotics represents an effective measure to combat a specific resistance …

Problem statement: The emergence and spread of resistance to third-generation
cephalosporins are threatening to create species resistant to all currently available agents …
