Molecular study of carbapenemase genes in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenems and determining their clonal relationship using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Enterobacteriaceae is a large family of Gram-negative bacteria that are considered as normal gut flora. They are the most common human pathogens. The main objective of this study was to investigate the carbapenemase genes in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenem antibiotics and determine their clonal relationship using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). METHODOLOGY: In the...
