Quinolone Resistance among Extended-Spectrum β -Lactamases Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Sohag University Hospital, Upper Egypt
Background: Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) production is the major resistance mechanism to β-lactam antibiotics in Enterobacteriaceae. Moreover, the emergence of quinolone resistance in ESBLs-producing isolates had become a global threat for treatment of infections caused by these bacteria. Objectives: We investigated the association between ESBLs production and quinolone resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Methodology: A total of 148 isolates of K. ... Read more
