Aim Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and carbapenem-resistant (CR)
Enterobacteriaceae are substantial problems in hospital-acquired infections worldwide. We …

The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-
PE) in hospitalised and community patients is of significant public health concern. The aim of …

We investigated the gastrointestinal colonization rate and antibiotic resistance patterns of
Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella …

Background We investigated the rates of fecal transmission of extended-spectrum β-
lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) and carbapenem-resistant …

Background Colonization of multidrug-resistant microorganisms is a potential source of
cross transmission and subsequent infection. Screening of extended-spectrum β-lactamase …

To evaluate the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing
Enterobacteriaceae fecal carriers at admission in a Portuguese hospital and to determine …

Aim: Community-acquired infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-
producing bacteria are an emerging problem. Digestive tract colonization is a prerequisite …

Objectives Infections as a result of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing
Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) are considered infections with a high public health burden. In …

We investigated the predictive factors for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing
Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) causing infections among intensive care unit patients with …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-
lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase production among Enterobacteriaceae isolated from …
