Abstract excerpt
This study sought to identify mechanisms behind resistance to third-generation cephalosporins and ciprofloxacin in Irish multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates. The most prevalent extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes identified were bla SHV-12 and bla CTX-M-15. These were associated wi...
