?-Lactamase Genes and Antibiotic Resistance in Escherichia coli / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ?lactamase genes in Escherichia coli and their resistance.METHODS Twenty strains of E.coli producing extended spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) were isolated from hospitalized patients.?-Lactamase drug-resistant genes were detected by PCR.RESULTS There were higher positive rates of ?-lactamase genes of TEM,SHV,LEN,CTX-M-1,CTX-M-9,VEB,GES,PER(75.0%,20.0%,95.0%,15.0%,70.0%,5.0%,85.0% and 70.0%,respectively). This study showed that there were high positive rate of drug resistance.CONCLUSIONS There are very high positive percentages of TEM,LEN,CTX-M-9,GES,and PER genes in ESBLs producing E.coli isolated clinically,and showing highly drug-resistant E.coli of producing ESBLs can be transmitted in hospital and induce fulminant prevalence.
