Prevalence of extended spectrum beta lactamase and molecular detection of blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX-M genotypes among Gram negative bacilli isolates from pediatric patient population in Gaza strip.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum β lactamases (ESBLs), have the ability to hydrolyze and cause resistance to various types of the β-lactam antibiotics, including the extended-spectrum (or third-generation) cephalosporins (e.g., cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime) and monobactams (e.g., aztreonam). ESBL-producing Gram negative bacteria is still posing significant therapeutic challenges. OBJECTIVES: To assess the...
