“…Nucleotide sequencing of a representative group of these isolates (n = 7) revealed the bla CMY-2 gene. This observation is consistent with many other studies worldwide in which CMY-2 is the most commonly acquired plasmid and widely geographically distributed AmpC enzyme [5,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…9 In Algeria, only few reports on plasmid-encoded AmpC (CMY-2 and DHA-1) in Enterobacteriaceae strains recovered from hospital settings were published. [10][11][12] The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of cefoxitin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae isolates recovered from hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients in Bejaia locality (Algeria). The association of pAmpC with extended-spectrum ␤-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinant was also studied.…”

“…There are few studies concerning the cephalosporinases AmpC diffusion in this species in Algeria. Only one study was conducted in three hospitals of Algiers, where there is the detection of the production of cephalosporinases CMY-2 in K. pneumoniae and DHA-1 was detected in Enterobacter cloacae strains (Iabadene et al, 2009). So, this is the first detection of DHA-1 in K. pneumoniae in Algeria.…”
