High Rates Of Antimicrobial Resistance Of ESBL-Producing Klebsiella spp. Causing Bloodstream Infections In Northeast Of Brazil.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Klebsiella spp. can cause various severe human diseases, such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections. Carbapenem antibiotics have been recommended as first-line treatments for the infections that are caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. However, the emergence and spread of bloodstream infections due to extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing K. pneumoniae has aroused wide public concern all over the world. This cross-sectional and retrospective study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of ESBL-producing enterobacteria isolated from blood cultures of patients with bloodstream infections in Northeast of Brazil.
