An increase in infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamaseproducing gram-negative bacilli (ESBL) represents a growing problem worldwide. Several studies conducted at the Regional Hospital of Loreto have reported up to 50% prevalence of infections associated with ESBL bacteria. We are currently experiencing a major epidemic of these ESBL-producing gramnegative germs (CTX-M15, SHV, TEM) that emerged from the hospital environment a few years ago and has even migrated to the community environment due to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. The objective of the study is to identify the phenotypic and molecular character of resistance associated with these infections. Using a descriptive design, the proposed study will describe, using molecular biology techniques, the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of these beta-lactamase-producing agents. The methodology consists of iden...
