Prevalence and antibiogram of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) producing Gram negative bacilli and further molecular characterization of ESBL producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Resistance to a wide variety of common antimicrobials has made the proliferation of Extended spectrum β-lactmase (ESBL) producing strains a serious global health concern that has complicated treatment strategies. The high proportion of ESBL producers among the Enterobacteriaceae and the complex molecular epidemiology with diverse types of ESBL genes are alarming. This study was...
