Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: A growing number of β-lactamases have been reported in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. The aims of this study were to survey the types of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to evaluate the reliability of phenotypic tests for ESBLs, and to identify the clonal distribution by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) among P. aeruginosa isolates resistant...
