First Screening of Beta-Lactam Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Bacterial Diversity in the Public Transport System of Quito, Ecuador
2022-12-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Multidrug-resistant bacteria present resistance mechanisms against β-lactam antibiotics, such as Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBL) and Metallo-β-lactamases enzymes (MBLs) operon encoded in Gram-negative species. Likewise, Gram-positive bacteria have evolved other mechanisms through mec genes, which encode modified penicillin-binding proteins (PBP2). This study aimed to determ...
