Prevalence of <i>bla<sub>SHV</sub></i> genes in clinical isolates of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> at Saint Camille medical Center in Ouagadougou. Isolation of <i>bla<sub>SHV</sub>11</i>-like gene
Abstract
Five bacterial strains (4 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1 Escherichia coli) representative of pathogenic species and resistant to β-lactam antibiotics are investigated to isolate the genes responsible of β--lactamase activity. The use of engineering techniques enables us to show the widespread of blaSHV genes particularly in clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae. Our results highlighted an atypical blaSHV-11 gene.
