Prevalence and distribution of beta-lactamase coding genes in third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae from bloodstream infections in Cambodia Institute of Tropical Medicine KU Leuven University of Antwerp
Resistance to third-generation cephalosporins in Gram-negative bacteria is emerging in Asia. We report the prevalence and distribution of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC beta-lactamase and carbapenemase-coding genes in cefotaxime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates from bloodstream infections (BSI) in Cambodia. All Enterobacteriaceae isolated from BSI in adult patients at Sihanouk Hospital Centre of HOPE, Phnom Penh, Cambodia ...
Quantifying antibiotic impact on within-patient dynamics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase resistance University of Antwerp
ACI-1 beta-lactamase is widespread across human gut microbiomes in Negativicutes due to transposons harboured by tailed prophages KU Leuven
Detection of beta-lactamase production in clinical Prevotella species by MALDI-TOF MS method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Penicillins, can be used in treatment of infections due to Prevotella species if they are susceptible to penicillin. Early and accurate preliminary detection of β-lactamase-producing isolates is crucial for treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to determine β-lactamase-producing Prevotella species by MALDI-TOF MS and screen them for the presence of cfxA gene, responsible for β-lactamase production. A total of 500 clinically ...
