Antimicrobial resistance and beta-lactamase gene distribution among clinical isolates: a two-year cohort study by Yasser Alraey, Mohammed Mushabub Assiry, Irfan Ahmad, Abdulaziz Alqahtani, Nada Basheer, Mohammed A. M. AlAsiri, Saleh A. M. Alshehri, Saeed M. S. Alhamhhum, Sultan Mohammed Alhefdi, Mohd Shahid Khan, Mohd Saleem, Abdulah A. S. Bawazeer

“…The tests on antimicrobial resistance demonstrated that Imipenem (95%), along with Tigecycline (97%), were effective, but Norfloxacin (97.1%) and Cotrimoxazole (46%) had notable resistance patterns. The results showed an ESBL detection rate of 312 among Escherichia coli isolates, but MBL counts reached 83, and AmpC beta-lactamase production amounted to 142. blaCTX-M emerged as the leading ESBL gene type (38.1%) among a total of 142 collected E. coli strains, which also demonstrated blaOXA-48 (25.3%) and blaNDM (22.7%) as their prevalent MBL genes. …”
