Prevalence and molecular characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

1 Jul 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Reports on extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) production by Enterobacteriaceae, and especially in Klebsiella pneumoniae, are few in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, we determined the prevalence of ESBL in K pneumoniae from Riyadh and characterized the predominant beta-lactamase gene in these isolates. METHODS: A total of 400 K pneumoniae samples were isolated from two hospitals in Riyadh...
