“…ESBL-producing E. coli harboring bla CTX-M genes were observed to show resistance to Cefotaxime. Cefotaxime is a better marker for ESBL organisms harboring bla CTX-M genes rather than Ceftazidime [32]. The sensitivity and specificity of the PCR method was 96% and 100%, respectively.…”

Background: Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) producing bacterial strains are the major causes of nosocomial and community-acquired infections worldwide. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Brilliance ESBL Agar (BEA) (a chromogenic culture medium) for the detection of ESBL in comparison with Double Disc Synergy Test (DDST) and confirm results from both methods by Single-plex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) as gold standard. Materials and Methods: A total of 75 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli were screened for ESBL production using BEA & DDST from various clinical specimens.

“…The prevalence of drug-resistant wound pathogen is reported at 70.1%; with frequently isolated pathogens such as S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, 3 and Escherichia coli. 4 The persistent rise of antimicrobial resistance in recent times impacts on wound infection. 5 Hence, it is imperative to explore new antimicrobials for treatment of wounds infected with drug-resistant bacteria.…”

Wound infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria are a serious public health concern with the association in delayed wound healing, increased treatment cost and mortality. 1 Among Grampositive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus is one of the utmost predominantly isolated bacteria from wound whereas, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is mostly prevalent amongst gram-negative bacteria. 2 In Nigeria, the prevalence of wound infection caused by drug-resistant bacteria is quite high as compared to other parts of the world. The prevalence of drug-resistant wound pathogen is reported at 70.1%; with frequently isolated pathogens such as S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, 3 and Escherichia coli. 4 The persistent rise of antimicrobial resistance in recent times impacts on wound infection. 5 Hence, it is imperative to explore new antimicrobials for treatment of wounds infected with drug-resistant bacteria.
