Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: fighting mutants

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria causing an infection survive after being exposed to a drug that, under normal conditions, would kill it or inhibit its growth. As a result, this surviving strains multiply and spread due to

Rapid and extremely reliable detection extended-spectrum ß-lactamases-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Resistance to antibiotics is becoming a worldwide issue mostly related to resistance observed in gram negative bacterial species such as in Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae) that are the most important source of hospital – and

Tests for biochemical detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Multidrug resistance (MDR) to antibiotic in bacteria is becoming now a major issue worldwide. Its development worldwide may comprise the efficacy of the modern medicine such as transplantation, heavy surgery or hospitalization in intensive care units. Therefore,
