Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: CTX-M-15 is the dominant type of extended-spectrum β-lactamase in clinical isolates. This enzyme constitutes the most widespread enzymes in Tunisia. In this study, we were interested to understand the causes of the evolutionary success of CTX-M-15 in a Tunisian university hospital. METHODS: A total of of 72 cefotaxime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from newborn patients at the hospital...
