Reduced Susceptibility to Cefepime in Clinical Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae Producing OXA-1 Beta-Lactamase
21 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
An increase of Enterobacteriaceae isolates with reduced susceptibility to cefepime (FEP) and amoxicillin/clavulanate (AMC) has been observed in our area. The aim of this study was to characterize this antibiotic resistance phenotype and its molecular epidemiology. A total of 33 Enterobacteriaceae strains were studied. blaOXA-1 genes and their genetic environment were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
