Emergence of bla _TEM, bla _CTX-M, bla _SHV and bla _OXA genes in multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumannii in Saudi Arabia.

ABSTRACT: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) patterns due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production in pathogenic bacteria are now becoming prevalent in hospitals worldwide, posing a public health challenge. The aim of the present study was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility patterns and distribution of the bla _TEM, bla _CTX-M, bla _SHV and bla _OXA ESBL resistance genes in MDREnterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). A cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2017 and August 2018 in the King Abdullah Hospital (Bisha, Saudi Arabia). Bacterial isolates were collected from the clinical samples of patients; these were identified and screened for ESBL production and their antibiot
