Abstract excerpt
CTX-M-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae have been previously reported in Venezuela. We assessed the frequency and diversity of CTX-M enzymes among 97 ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates as well as to establish the genetic relationship among CTX-M producers collected from six hospitals in Caracas. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays identified the bla(CTX-M) genes...
