Abstract

β-lactamases are the primary cause of resistance to β-lactams among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. SHV enzymes have emerged in Enterobacteriaceae causing infections in health care in the last decades of the Twentieth century, and they are now observed in isolates in different epidemiological settings both in human, animal and the environment. Likely originated from a chromosomal penicillinase of Klebsiella pneumoniae, SHV β-lactamases currently encompass a large number of allelic variants including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), non-ESBL and several not classified variants. SHV enzymes have evolved from a narrow- to an extended-spectrum of hydrolyzing activity, including monobactams and carbapenems, as a result of amino acid changes that altered the configuration around the active site of the β -lactamases. SHV-ESBLs are usually encoded by self-transmissible plasmids that frequently carry resistance genes to other drug classes and have become widespread throughout the world in several Enterobacteriaceae, emphasizing their clinical significance.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 January 2024.
All research outputs
#6,351,041
of 23,001,641 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#6,287
of 25,092 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#99,382
of 336,283 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#154
of 427 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,001,641 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,092 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,283 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 427 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
