Abstract

The nosocomial infections, caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria, are the most important cause of mortality throughout the world. One important mechanism against beta-lactam antibiotics is the production of beta-lactamases. Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermentative bacteria, like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannniimayproduce these enzymes. Currently, there is novaccine to prevent the infections caused by β-lactamase-producing bacteria. Consequently, it is necessary to identify β-lactamase producing bacteria by phenotypic and molecular methods. © 2016, Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine Research Center.
