Abstract: The emergence of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing microorganisms in Brazilian hospitals is a challenge that concerns scientists, clinicians and healthcare institutions due to the serious risk they pose to confined patients. The goal of this study was the detection of ESBL production by clinical strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp. isolated from pus, urine and blood of patients at Hospital Universitário Santa Maria, Rio Grande Sul, RS, Brazil and the genotyping of the isolates based o… Show more

“…In addition, the result of the present study is in concordance with that of Oliveira et al, (2010) who performed PCR for genomic DNA of all isolates in their study and found that SHV genotype was present in 78.1% of the K. pneumoniae isolates.…”

“…4,18,22,23 This has been true in this study also where all (100%, n=391) E coli strains, both ESBL positive and negative, were sensitive to imipenem. This is consistent with the findings of Sasirekha (n=225) 16 , Yasmin (n=201) 19 and Paterson 23 who also found 100% of isolates sensitive to imipenem.…”

“…In the present study, ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae were detected in 45.2% of isolates. This proportion was lower than those reported in Uganda (89%), and Brazil (61.1%), but relatively higher than 41% determined in the United Arab of Emirates [17,23,24]. It is well known that the use of expanded-spectrum cephalosporins in the hospital setting influences the selection of ESBLproducing organisms [25].…”
