Molecular detection of plasmid-derived AmpC & #946;-lactamase among clinical strains of Enterobacteriaceae in Bahrain

CONCLUSIONS: Plasmid-mediated spread of AmpC is present in clinically relevant Enterobacteriaceae species in Bahrain. Rational antimicrobial therapy against these multidrug-resistant organisms and continued surveillance of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms among the clinical isolates are recommended for optimal patient care.
