- - The study aimed to identify specific CTX-M class extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae from Bahrain.
- - Out of 80 isolates tested, 93.8% were positive for CTX-M genogroups, with 93.3% belonging to genogroup-1 and a smaller portion to genogroup-9, while genogroups 2, 8, and 25 were not found.
- - This research is significant as it marks the first documentation of CTX-M genogroups and the presence of the blaCTX-M-55-like gene in Bahrain.
Differentiation between Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli is problematic in clinical specimens due to fastidious growth requirements and limited biochemical tests. This study describes a rapid, multiplex PCR protocol for the direct detection and differentiation of C. jejuni and C.
