Sequence analysis of genes mediating extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production in isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in a Lagos Teaching Hospital, Nigeria

Abstract: BackgroundExtended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in Gram-negative organisms is now a major concern in Enterobacteriaceae worldwide. This study determined a point-prevalence and genetic profiles of ESBL-producing isolates among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae in Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Ikeja, Nigeria.MethodsConsecutive non-repetitive invasive multidrug-resistant isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae obtained over a period of 1 month (October 2011) were studied. The isolates were id… Show more

“…First, the bla CTX-M-15 gene was the most commonly detected ESBL-encoding gene in our collection, as reported by other works conducted in North America, Europe, and South America [9]. Data from Malawi, Nigeria, and Tanzania are very similar with respectively 95.2%, 85.7%, and 100% of ESBL-producing E.coli belonging to the CTX-M-15 group [3,9,10].…”

“…isolated from chicken faecal samples [37] and ESBL production mediated by bla VEB in human clinical Providencia spp. and Citrobacter freundii isolates [36,38]. To our knowledge this study presents the first genomic characterization of ESBL production mediated by bla CTX-M-15 in human clinical isolates of Enterobacter hormaechei, Citrobacter werkmanii and Atlantibacter hermannii from Nigeria.…”

“…CTX-M-15 enzymes have been identified worldwide [34] including Nigeria in Klebsiella spp., Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter spp. [19,35,36]. There is limited data on the prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Africa.…”

“…A study from South Eastern Nigeria reported blaCTX-M-15 genes from urine, vaginal and wound swabs of out-patients younger than 30 years [28]. Two studies conducted in Western Nigeria by Olowe et al, [29] from blood, wound, HVS, and sputum samples and Raji et al, [30] from blood, Urine and wound samples revealed the isolates harbored blaCTX-M-1 and blaCTX-M-15 genes respectively.…”
