Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective mecillinam is against Enterobacterales that produce extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL).
- A total of 120 ESBL-producing Enterobacterales isolates were analyzed, primarily from urine samples, with findings showing a significant sensitivity of 83% to mecillinam.
- The study concluded that mecillinam is effective against ESBL-producing bacteria, recommending further research with a larger sample size across different regions.
A multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay using previously known genetic markers of Shigella, Escherichia coli and Shiga-toxic Esch. coli was standardized. uidA gene was targeted for the common detection of Esch.
