CTX-M-3 and CTX-M-15 Extended-Spectrum {szligbeta}-Lactamases in Isolates of Escherichia coli from a Hospital in Algiers, Algeria

Sixteen strains of Escherichia coli isolated between January and June 2005 in a hospital in Algiers carry the ISEcp1 element and the TEM and either CTX-M-3 (n = 3) or CTX-M-15 (n = 13) {szligbeta}-lactamases. Fourteen of the isolates are multidrug resistant. Five isolates from the neonatal ward were...

Zusammenfassung:Sixteen strains of Escherichia coli isolated between January and June 2005 in a hospital in Algiers carry the ISEcp1 element and the TEM and either CTX-M-3 (n = 3) or CTX-M-15 (n = 13) {szligbeta}-lactamases. Fourteen of the isolates are multidrug resistant. Five isolates from the neonatal ward were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
