Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of extended-spectrum beta lactamases-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in selected hospitals of Anyigba, Nigeria

Abstract: Background: Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are commonly implicated in urinary tract infections accounting for majority of the antimicrobial resistance encountered in hospitals. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae among patients in Anyigba, Nigeria. Methods: This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted using urine samples from 200 patients of Grimmard Catholic … Show more

“…Therefore, novel solutions and compounds need to be utilized in order to keep up with the evolution of bacterial resistance mechanisms. A prevalence of S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans infections associated with the biomedical field has been reported by several authors [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

“…En pacientes colonizados, por lo general, se inician tratamientos empíricos no adecuados, lo cual consecuentemente podría conducir a sepsis. Dentro de los microorganismos en los que se ha reportado resistencia a los antimicrobianos se encuentran las enterobacterias, bacilos gramnegativos capaces de producir BLEE (7).…”
