Detection of virulence and ?-lactamase encoding genes in Enterobacter aerogenes and Enterobacter cloacae clinical isolates from Brazil.


ABSTRACT: Enterobacter cloacae and E. aerogenes have been increasingly reported as important opportunistic pathogens. In this study, a high prevalence of multi-drug resistant isolates from Brazil, harboring several ?-lactamase encoding genes was found. Several virulence genes were observed in E. aerogenes, contrasting with the E. cloacae isolates which presented none.
