摘要: 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. 25 E. coli) ESBL-positive by phenotypic methods. Isoelectric focusing PCR assays bla genes showed that SHV-5-type ESBLs the most frequent (45 isolates, 22%) followed CTX-M (24 12%) IBC (three 1.5%). The latter ESBL types may have been established recently this setting.
