Analytical Opportunities of Hospital Bacteriological Laboratories in Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms of Enterobacteriacae
Article presents the results of studying of beta-lactams resistance mechanisms in Enterobacteriacae isolated from different sources in St-Petersburg, Russia. Molecular methods detected CTX-M1 and CTX-M9 production in healthcare-associated infections and community isolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae; CTX-M1 and CMY production in Salmonella isolated from human, animals and food. In several St-Petersburg hospitals nosocomial K. pneumoniae producing carbapenemases NDM-1 and KPC-2 were isolated.
