Detection of multidrug-resistant enterobacteria simultaneously producing extended-spectrum β -lactamases of the PER and GES types isolated at Saint Camille Hospital Center, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Resistance to a wide variety of common antibiotics is observed among clinical strains designated as extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL) producers. These produce enzymatic proteins that effectively inactivate cephalosporins and aztreonam and are a serious global health problem that complicates treatment strategies. Many studies report a high prevalence of ESBL producers among Gram-negative ba...
