Περίληψη:
Seventy-nine Klebsiella pneumoniae and 124 Escherichia coli clinical
strains, isolated consecutively during August-October 2001 in two Greek
hospitals, were examined for production of extended-spectrum
beta-lactamases (ESBLs). Seventy-one (35%) isolates (46 K pneumoniae
and 25 E. coli) were ESBL-positive by phenotypic methods. Isoelectric
focusing of beta-lactamases and PCR assays for bla genes showed that
SHV-5-type ESBLs were the most frequent (45 isolates, 22%) followed by
CTX-M (24 isolates, 12%) and IBC (three isolates, 1.5%). The latter
two ESBL types may have been established recently in this setting. (C)
