IJMM 2018; 12(5): 363-370 Background and Aims: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase of SHV, PER and VEB types are considered as important and widely increasing resistance mechanisms to beta-lactamases in gramnegative pathogens. Also K. pneumonia species are able to produce extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBLs). The aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of SHV, PER and VEB genes in ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates which were collected from patients of different regions of Tehran city between January 2017 to January 2018 using PCR method.
