Mechanisms of resistance to beta-lactams in some common Gram-negative bacteria causing nosocomial infections
Abstract
Gram-negative bacilli remain major killers of hospitalized patients and continue to evolve new resistance mechanisms. This review describes the mechanisms of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics from those Gram-negative pathogens most often isolated from nosocomial infections.
