4. Study of Metallo-beta lactamase production in imipenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria in surgery and ICUs in tertiary care hospital.
Broad spectrum antimicrobial resistance, where resistance to multiple, or even all available antibiotic classes, is a key global healthcare problem. Gram negative bacilli account for the majority of bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens. The incidence of infections is due to gram nega...

Broad spectrum antimicrobial resistance, where resistance to multiple, or even all available antibiotic classes, is a key global healthcare problem. Gram negative bacilli account for the majority of bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens. The incidence of infections is due to gram negative bacilli resistant to β lactam agents. Metallo beta lactamase (MBL) producing gram negative bacteria have been recognized to be among the most important nosocomial pathogens. MBLs have been identified with increasing frequency to cause serious infections.
