Prevalence of β-lactamase genes and integrons among multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp recovered from food samples in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adama Patrice Soubeiga, Dissinviel Stéphane Kpoda , Oumar Traoré, Cheikna Zongo, Aly Savadogo
The resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to β-lactam antibiotics occurs mainly by the production
of β-lactamases. The aim of this work was to evaluate the presence of β-lactamase genes and
integrons in multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates recovered from food. Susceptibility to antibiotics
was determined using the agar diffusion method. Det(...)
