Abstract:Background and Objectives: AmpC-producing Gram-negative bacterial (GNB) pathogens are distributed worldwide, espe- cially in clinical settings. This study aimed to determine the antibiogram and the type of AmpC-β-lactamase gene harboured by GNB pathogens implicated in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) cases.
Materials and Methods: Ear swab samples (300) collected from patients with active CSOM were analysed using standard microbiological techniques. Phenotypic and molecular detection of AmpC β-lact… Show more
