Phenotypic and Genotypic Methods for Detection of Extended Spectrum β Lactamase Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

Phenotypic and Genotypic Methods for Detection of Extended Spectrum β Lactamase Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

Background: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the common nosocomial infections associated with high morbidity due to multidrug resistant pathogens. Rapid spread of resistance to broad spectrum beta-lactams in pathogenic strains causes antibiotics ineffectiveness and increased sever...
