Clinically Isolated β-Lactam-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli in a Philippine Tertiary Care Hospital Harbor Multi-Class β-Lactamase Genes

Abstract excerpt

In the Philippines, data are scarce on the co-occurrence of multiple β-lactamases (BLs) in clinically isolated Gram-negative bacilli. To investigate this phenomenon, we characterized BLs from various β-lactam-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from a Philippine tertiary care hospital. The selected Gram-negative bacilli (n = 29) were...
