Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the co-production of 16S rRNA methylase and β-Lactamase genes in Enterobacteriaceae, which is significant for antibiotic resistance issues faced by clinicians worldwide.
- A total of 330 strains were analyzed, with 218 identified as β-Lactamase producers; of these, 188 carried the resistant gene, predominantly the blaTEM-1 type.
- Results revealed that 122 isolates produced at least one 16S rRNA methylase gene, with a notable coexistence of armA and rmtB genes, highlighting the need for further research on diverse β-Lactamase types and new resistance mechanisms in Enterobacteriaceae.
