Full Length Research Paper - Prevalence of blaSHV genes in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae at Saint Camille medical Center in Ouagadougou. Isolation of blaSHV11-like gene
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
