Escherichia coli remains as one of the most important bacteria causing infections in
pediatrics and producing extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamases (ESBLs) making them …

Background & objectives: Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have emerged as a
major threat worldwide with limited treatment options. The genotypes of ESBL producing …

Abstract Background and Objectives: Various phenotypic methods are recommended in the
routine practice to detect the ESBL production in gram negative bacilli. Among them, the …

Purpose: The present study was carried out to characterize the ESBL types and evaluated
their in vitro activity against a collection of Gram negative bacteria (GNB) from a multicentric …

Extended‐spectrum β lactamases (ESBLs) continue to be a major challenge in clinical
setups world over, conferring resistance to the expanded‐spectrum cephalosporins. An …

The correct identification of the genes involved in ESBL mediated resistance is necessary for
the surveillance and epidemiological studies of their transmission in hospitals. The aim of …

Objective (s): Different types of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are
encountered in the clinical settings worldwide. There are a few studies regarding the …

Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a family member of Enterobacteriaceae. Isolates of K.
pneumoniae produce enzymes that cause decomposition of third generation …

Background Resistance to contemporary broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics mediated by
extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is increasing worldwide. Klebsiella pneumoniae …

Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are a group of enzymes that
hydrolyze antibiotics, including those containing new cephalosporins, and they are found in …
