Multidrug-resistant phenotypes of genetically diverse Escherichia coli isolates from healthy domestic cats.

Β-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli are a widely distributed source of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), for animals and humans. Little is known about the sensitivity profile and genetic characteristics of E. coli strains isolated from domestic cats.

The Molecular Genetic Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Resistance of Strains Obtained from Clinical Isolates in Central Panama.

We aim to analyze isolates in central Panama, characterize the associated gonococcal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and conduct molecular epidemiology and genetic typing. We conducted a retrospective study based on hospital isolates collected between 2013 and 2018. AMR was determined using dilution agar and Etest.

Genetic Diversity and New Sequence Types of Coharboring β-Lactamases and PMQR Genes Isolated from Domestic Dogs in Central Panama.

Background: β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli are a widely distributed source of antimicrobial resistance for animals and humans. Little is known about the susceptibility profile and genetic characteristics of E. coli strains isolated from domestic dogs in Latin America.

Molecular Genetic Epidemiology of an Emerging Antimicrobial-Resistant Clone (ST307) Obtained from Clinical Isolates in Central Panama.

Unlabelled: has been among the main pathogens contributing to the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the last decade, and AMR strains predominantly cluster in the ST258 clonal complex. However, ST307 is emerging as an important high-risk clone. In Central America, there have been few studies on the molecular epidemiology of the strains involved in infections.

Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of carbapenemase- and extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing clinical isolates within a hospital in Panama City.

is a versatile bacterial species able to acquire antimicrobial resistance; the species presents a higher antimicrobial resistance profile compared to Carbapenemase and extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria commonly arise in clinical settings where antimicrobial stewardship is limited. Our study aims to report the phenotypical and genetic characteristics of nosocomial isolates associated with mortality collected from a tertiary-level hospital in Panama City. In October 2020, 11 consecutive multidrug-resistant Gram-negative isolates were recovered from secretions and blood cultures from hospitalized patients.

Molecular Epidemiology of Clinical Isolates from Central Panama.

represents one of the most common causes of community-onset and nosocomial infections. Strains carrying extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) are a serious public health problem. In Central America we have not found studies reporting the molecular epidemiology of strains implicated in local infections, so we conducted this study to fill that gap.
