Background Extended spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC beta-lactamases
(AmpC) are the common enzymes produced by gram negative bacilli, which are their main …

Background. Emergence of pathogenic bacteria carrying β-lactamase-resistant determinants
has become a major health problem in the hospital setting. The study aimed to determine …

Background Although β-lactam antibiotics are heavily used in many developing countries,
the diversity of β-lactamase genes (bla) is poorly understood. We screened for major β …

Background The existence of multidrug-resistant organisms, including extended-spectrum
beta-lactamases (ESBLs), is on rise across the globe and is becoming a severe problem …

Abstract Background High prevalence of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)
