Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the frequency of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) genes in strains from nosocomial infections to understand their role in antibiotic resistance.
- Out of 100 bacterial strains analyzed, 59% were identified as ESBL positive, but the study did not find two specific ESBL genes; however, another gene was present in 42% of the strains.
- The findings indicate a high prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains in Iran, emphasizing the urgent need for infection control measures in healthcare settings to combat the spread of these resistant infections.
Background: Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) producing strains of Acinetobacter baumannii are serious etiological agents of hospital infections worldwide. Among the β- lactams, carbapenems are the most effective antibiotics used against A. baumannii.
