Abstract

Seventy-nine Klebsiella pneumoniae and 124 Escherichia coli clinical strains, isolated consecutively during August-October 2001 in two Greek hospitals, were examined for production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). Seventy-one (35%) isolates (46 K. pneumoniae and 25 E. coli) were ESBL-positive by phenotypic methods. Isoelectric focusing of beta-lactamases and PCR assays for bla genes showed that SHV-5-type ESBLs were the most frequent (45 isolates, 22%) followed by CTX-M (24 isolates, 12%) and IBC (three isolates, 1.5%). The latter two ESBL types may have been established recently in this setting.
