Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), and Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis). In addition, different methods for detection of these enzymes, including the newly introduced CHROMagar ESBL, were evaluated. Methodology: A total of 382 Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates were obtained from King Fahad Specialist Hospital – Dammam, during 2011 and screened for production of ESBL using advanced expert system of Vitek 2, CHROMagar and ESBL-E-strips. PCR assay was used to detect blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX-M genes. Susceptibility to a panel of antibiotics was determined. Results: The overall proportion of ESBL-producing enterobacterial isolates was 30.6%, which was higher in E. coli (35.8%) than in K. pneumoniae (25.7%). ESBL genotypes showed remarkable increase in the CTX-M (97.4%) compared to SHV (23.1%). The predominant ESBL was CTX-M- 15 (92.1 %). No TEM ESBL was detected in this study. The Vitek2 showed the highest sensitivity (100%), and the CHROMagar had the lowest specificity (97.3%) compared to the molecular method. All isolates were susceptible to imipenem and meropenem. Conclusions: This study confirms a high level of blaCTX-M positive ESBL isolates are circulating in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The trend of a multidrug-resistant profile associated with the recovery of the blaCTX-M gene is alarming.

Extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) represent a threat for failure of empirical antibiotic therapy and are associated with high mortality, morbidity and expenses. The aims of this study was to determine the prevalence of ESBL-PE and multidrug resistant enterobacteria (MDR), enterobacteria profil, investigate the associated resistance in wastewater and salads. After wastewater and salad sampling, enterobacteria was isoled on (EMB + 4μg / L cefotaxim). The stains of Enterobacteriaceae were identified by using biochemical methods and confirmed as ESBL by double-disc synergy test (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid with cefotaxime 30 μg, ceftazidime 30 μg and ceftriaxone 30 μg). Finally, the associated resistance was investigated by testing the susceptibility of the strains by the disc diffusion method. Global prevalence of ESBL-PE was 53.92% (95% CI: 48,2-59,5) (153/293), 61.11% from wastewater and 42.47% from salads. Major ESBL-E was Escherichia coli (73.44%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (21.88%). Resistance to the aminoglycoside , fluroquinolonones and sulfonamides classes were dominant, observed in 53,83%, 93,86% and 98,95% of the isolates, respectively. The frequence of MDR was hight to channel1 (32,40%) and channel2 (26,26%). This study reports very worrying results. There is an urgent need to develop measures to monitor the spread of these multidrug-resistant strains.Keywords: Wastewater, ESBL-PE, Salads, Ouagadougou.

Over the years, multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli has contributed to the development of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs), which evolved primarily from poultry in every corner of the world. The unregulated use of antibiotics commonly administered to poultry products to prevent any subclinical infections that lead to multidrug resistance (MDR) that is due to acquired bacteria resistance. The main aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence in Malaysia of multidrug-resistant, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E.coli from poultry country chicken and country eggs. In several states of Malaysia, fifty samples from country chicken and country chicken eggs were extracted randomly from chosen poultry. The sample was taken from May to June 2019. The samples were tested using traditional microbiological techniques for the presence of E. coli. Antibiotics susceptibility test using 5 forms of β-lactam antibiotics was used using the double-disk diffusion screening, and confirmation of the test is performed by a combination disk diffusion process to establish the strains generating the ESBL. Although, the phenotypic characterization of bla TEM and bla CTX-M ESBL was carried out using PCR and SDS methods. Twenty of the fifty samples collected were classified as E.coli (20/50), suggesting 40%. The results of the distribution of the β-lactamases genes were reported as bla TEM, bla CTX-M with results of 75% (3/4), and 100% (4/4), respectively. The findings indicate a high prevalence of multidrug resistance as the most prevalent of all ESBL genes in ESBL infections with CTX-M genes. Consequently, effective monitoring of MDR infections, in particular resistance to β-lactamases in poultry chicken, can predict the potential for ESBL infections in humans and animals.

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from blood in children and their susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs commonly used in the therapy. The study was conducted at the Institute of Public Health of Vojvodina Province, Serbia, in a two-year period, from January 2009 to December 2010. A total of 424 non-duplicate strains were isolated from the blood of pediatric patients hospitalized in various wards in the Institute of Health Care of Children and Youth of Vojvodina Province. Fifty isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were reported. The frequency of isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae was 27/222 (12.2%) and 23/202 (11.3%) isolates in 2009 and 2010, respectively. There was a high prevalence of ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, 76% (38/50), and 17 isolates (44.7%) were multidrug resistant (MDR). Further drug resistance surveillance in hospitals and the molecular characterization of ESBL-positive isolates in our country is necessary.
