Carbapenem resistance among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in a tertiary care hospital in south India
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Carbapenem resistance among clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, especially Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, is largely conferred by metallo-β-lactamase (MBL). Fifty-one non repetitive isolates of carbapenem-resistant (Meropenem and Imipenem) E. coli and K. pneumoniae were studied to determine the molecular mechanism for resistance. Presence of blaNDM and blaVIM was determined by polymerase chain...
