Abstract:
Objectives: Resistance to third-generation cephalosporins in Escherichia coli bacteremia is on the rise in Australia. Currently, laboratory definitions of multidrug-resistant organisms determine infection control responses. The incidence of particular extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) E. coli phenotype, with nonsusceptibility to both ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, is increasing in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The increase was noted primarily through antimicrobial stewardship clinical care rather than standard infection control or microbiology processes. Cli

The study was aimed to determine the prevalence of extended spectrum beta lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae isolate from children infected with diarrhea in Kano, Northern Nigeria. Two hundred and fifty (250) stool samples of the infected children were obtained from Microbiology department of Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital. Multidrug resistant (MDR) isolates were determined using disc diffusion method. The multidrug resistant isolates were evaluated using antibiotic disc of ceftriaxone and cef

Multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales (MDRE) are an emerging threat to global health, leading to rising health care costs, morbidity and mortality. Multidrug-resistance is commonly caused by different β-lactamases (e.g., ESBLs and carbapenemases), sometimes in combination with other resistance mechanisms (e.g., porin loss, efflux). The continuous spread of MDRE among patients in hospital settings and the healthy population require adjustments in healthcare management and routine diagnostics.
