(ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae in Nigeria. Yet, there are regions in Nigeria where …

Abstract Objectives The rise in Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) is perturbing.
To curb the menace of CRE, a comprehensive understanding of its prevalence and …

Recently discovered extraintestinal Escherichia fergusonii obtained from non-clinical
samples has exhibited the potential for acquiring multiple beta-lactamase genes, just like …

Background Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a group of beta-lactamase
enzymes that confer resistance to the oxyimino-cephalosporins and monobactams. The …

Multi-drug resistant bacteria are a public health problem associated with high morbidity and
mortality globally. This increasing drug resistance has been linked to gene exchange …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli strains, particularly those producing
Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) and Carbapenemase (CR-Ec), represents a …

OBJECTIVES: The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported carbapenem-resistant
