Isolation and Identification of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Resistant to the Oxyimino-Cephalosporins and the Monobactam by Production of GES Type Extended Spectrum Bêta-Lactamase (ESBL) at Saint Camille Hospital Center in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Abstract excerpt

Background: Bacterial resistance to beta lactamins is a real public health problem as it complicates treatment strategies. Several types of beta lactamase confer this resistance. Numerous studies report a high prevalence of ESBL producers among Gram-negative bacilli. The objective of this work was to identify the presence of the resistance gene GES in strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae in Burkina Faso. Methods:...
