What is the role of the environment in ESBL transmission?

Our data indicate that the ESBL-producing E. coli and E. cloacae are circulating in the ICU and constitute a major source infection spread. This study showed a high prevalence of qnr genes in ESBL-producing K. pneumonia isolates and antibiotic resistance. Given the horizontal transmission of ... 3 Data on the epidemiology of UTIs caused by ESBL-producing. Escherichia coli (E. coli) are scant in published reports from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).4, ... Jun 8, 2004 ... with ESBL-producing organisms [26-32]. Until now, the only data pertaining to treatment of ESBL- producing organisms have been derived from ... The study was carried out in two parts: in part I, 19 Gram negative bacteria belonging to Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli -14 and Klebsiella pneumoniae -5) ... Nov 7, 2017 ... This study aims to find the prevalence of MDR and ESBL producing isolates from chicken meat in Bharatpur metropolitan. Background: Study of drug resistance of commensal bacteria in both humans and animals can determine the scale of the drug resistance problem. The aim of this study was to compare resistance profiles of isolates of E. coli from the intestinal tracts of dogs and their owners. In this study we aimed to investigate in vitro activity of meropenem, ciprofloxacine and amikacin against ESBL-producing and non-producing blood isolates. CF therapy may represent an effective alternative to carbapenem treatment for patients with ESBL-EC bacteremia for empirical and definitive therapy in adult ...
