Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-Mediated Resistance to Third Generation Cephalosporins and Conjugative Transfer of Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated from Hospitals in Tamil Nadu, India

Abstract excerpt

Clinical pathogens especially Gram-negative bacteria developing resistance to third-generation cephalosporins are making the clinical outcome more complicated and serious. This study was undertaken to evaluate the distribution of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in Tamil Nadu regions in India. For this study, clinical samples were collected from five different hospitals located in Tamil Nadu and ESBL producing Gr...
