چکیده
|
The incidence of esbl-producing bacteria is increasing worldwide, which represents a challenge for the healthcare systems. more recently, the emergence of the ctx-m group has been frequently reported as being associated with both nosocomial and community acquired infections. ctx-m-15 was identified as being the most prevalent in a large geographic area including europe and the middle east, suggesting the presence of a community reservoir of ctx-m enzymes disseminating in the mediterranean area. thus, this review will focus on the mediterranean region to highlight the increasing prevalence of ctx-m-esbl producing enterobacteriacae.
