Phenotypic Identification of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase and Metallo Beta Lactamase Production Among Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Udaipur, Rajasthan
Abstract:Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat worldwide. Increasing resistance to third generation cephalosporins has
become a cause for more concern among Enterobacteriaceae. The prevalence of extended spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs)
and metallobetalactamases (MBL) among members of Enterobacteriaceae constitutes a serious threat to current situation of -lactam therapy
leading to treatment failure. 100 Enterobacteriaceae isolated from various clinical samples were included in the study. ESBL was detected by
phenot… Show more
