(1) Background: Beta-lactams are the most frequently used antimicrobials, and are the first-line drugs in many infectious diseases, e.g., pneumonia, otitis media. Due to this fact, various bacteria have developed resistance to this group of drugs. (2) Methods: Eighty-seven Haemophilus parainfluenzae isolates were obtained from adults 18-70 years old in eastern Poland. The presence of 10 bla genes and 2 substitutions in ftsI reported as the most frequent in H. parainfluenzae were analyzed. (3) Results: Among 57 beta-lactam-resistant isolates, 63.2% encoded bla genes; bla TEM-1  predominated (54.4%), followed by bla OXA  (19.3%), bla DHA  (12.3%), bla SHV  (10.5%), bla GES  (7.0%), bla CMY  (5.3%), bla VEB  (1.8%) and bla ROB-1  (1.8%). Lys-526 was the most common substitution in ftsI gene. The resistance genotypes were as follows: gBLNAS (17.5%), low-gBLNAR I (1.8%), low-gBLNAR II (1.8%), gBLNAR II (15.8%), gBLPAS (15.8%), gBLPAR (19.3%), gBLPBS I (8.8%) and gBLPBS II (1.8%); (4) Conclusions: This has been the first study to report on the high diversity of bla genes in H. parainfluenzae isolates in Poland. High sensitivity and specificity of benzylpenicillin test, as well as PCR of bla genes were shown, indicating that these methods may be useful as tools for the rapid screening of beta-lactamase prevalence and resistance to beta-lactams among H. parainfluenzae isolated from respiratory microbiota.
