Molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of AmpC- and/or extended-spectrum (ESBL) β-lactamase- producing Proteus spp. clinical isolates in Zenica-Doboj Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Methods Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods according to CLSI guidelines. Double-disk synergy test was performed in order to screen for ESBLs, and combined disk test with phenylboronic acid to detect AmpC β -lactamases. PCR was used to detect blaESBL/blacarb genes. Genetic relatedness of the strains was determined by pulsed-fieldgel-electrophoresis (PFGE).
