Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii which are of great concern as the frequent causative agents of nosocomial infections, frequently exhibit resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. One of the most common causes of this resistance is the presence of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). There is still no standardized method for the detection of ESBLs in P. aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains. The...
