and asymptomatic fecal carriers Shadi Aghamohammad1 and Fereshteh Shahcheraghi1* Abstract Background The investigation of the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) within Enterobacte- riaceae in both fecal carriers and patients is an essential ...
Out of 9372 patients admitted to the hospital, 1373 had been in various medical facilities during the last year, which was an indication to perform a screening test for ESBL-producing Enterobacterales colonizing their gastrointestinal tract. In eighty-three patients (6.1%), 85 ESBL producers were ...
Data concerning post-operative infections were col- lected from laboratory information system and patient records. Only ESBL post-operative infections were re- ported in the present study. Distribution of patients' characteristics was reported using mean and standard deviation (SD) for quantitative ...
The obtained results on the early interactions of ESBL-producing strains with the host immune system may provide valuable information for management of these infections.Isak DemirelFaculty of Medicine and HealthAnnica KinnunenFaculty of Medicine and HealthAnna Önnberg...
Furthermore, in LMICs, hospital wastewater may be used for irrigation of vegetable crops [5]. Indeed, ESBL-producing bacteria have been isolated on lettuce in Burkina Faso [35]. The common intestinal carriage of these bacteria may increase their prevalence in patients visiting healthcare centers,...
(6.52%) patients. The specimens were cultivated on Blood Agar and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMB) medium (Merck, Germany) and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. Initially, the colonies were counted. In cultures with bacterial counts of > 104cfu/ml, the specimens were considered as positive...
For some of the higher numbered enzymes (TEM-56, 57, TEM-66 to 72, TEM-75, and SHV-13 and higher) there are no currently published amino acid sequence, biochemical, or phenotypic information, making it unclear if these are ESBLs, inhibitor resistant enzymes, or a combination of both ...

(MUAC) < 11.5 cm) were enrolled in the study. Among the screened children who were non-stunted and/or non-wasted, a random selection process was employed from an Excel file containing information on all pre-screened households/children in the community. The random selection process ...
Variables, collection of data and definitions All patients were evaluated using a standard case re- cording form. Each clinical course of infection was eval- uated and recorded according to the information supplied by primary care physicians and medical records reviewing retrospectively. The diagnosis ...
