Background: Pathogenic bacteria mostly cause emerging infectious
diseases, including community-acquired, nosocomial, and
opportunistic infections. The recent emergence of biofilms and the
production of beta-lactamases strains have led to the widespread
number of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens associated with
infectious illness and death.
Materials and Methods: This study was carried out to detect the
ability of biofilm formation by gram-negative and gram-positive
pathogenic isolates collected from clinical environments and
determine their multi-drug resistant traits along with the detection of
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and Metallo-betalactamases
(MBLs) production.
Results: Among the 15 pathogenic isolates, A. baumannii (85%) were
ESBL positive and (65%) MBL .. View More»
