Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the β-lactam resistance phenotypes of clinical and environmental strains of the Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) isolated from three Algerian hospitals. The first combination of API 20E, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and hsp60 genetic clustering methodologies were carried out for the identification of ECC strains. Our research showed...
