Distribution of blaCTX − M, blaTEM, blaSHV and blaOXA genes in Extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Clinical isolates: A three-year multi-center study from Lahore, Pakistan

Abstract excerpt

Frequency of extended-spectrum- β -lactamase-producing clinical isolates is increasing worldwide. This is a multi-center study which was aimed to check the frequency of third-generation cephalosporin resistance and distribution of the key genetic determinants of Extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Clinical isolates in Pakistan. A total of 2372 samples were processed in three tertiary care hospitals and one...
