Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in gram-negative organisms have been implicated as the enzymes responsible for resistance to oxyimino-cephalosporins. The incidence of ESBL- producers in Korean isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella...
BACKGROUND: Our study was to investigate the prevalence of carbapenemase genes in strains of Enterobacteriaceae species exhibiting decreased susceptibility to carbapenems in our hospital.
METHODS: The carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae species were...
BACKGROUND: We investigated the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance and its association with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC beta-lactamase in Enterobacteriaceae.
METHODS: A total of 347 non-duplicated isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were...
BACKGROUND: The modified Hodge test (MHT) was designed to detect carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). This study evaluated variables to improve the performance of MHT.
METHODS: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated from November 2010 to...
