EXCESSIVE USE OF THIRD GENERATION CEPHALOSPORINS MAY INCREASE IN AmpC producing Beta–Lactamase in ENTEROBACTERIACEAE

Dr. Arijit Chatterjee

Abstract :

Nowadays, Extended spectrum β–lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC β–lactamase –producing enterobacteriaceae has been observed largely. In this study, the prevalence AmpC producing ESBL strains of enterobacteriaceae was done in urinary tract infections patients in SRL Reference Laboratory, Salt Lake, Kolkata–700092. The prevalence of AmpC producing beta–lactamase is very important to know to prevent the misuse of antibiotics, especially third generation cephalosporins which may induce the production of this enzyme in enterobacteriaceae family
