Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria is the most urgent global threat to public health, with
extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) being one of the …

Background. The worldwide prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–
producing Enterobacteriaceae is increasing rapidly both in hospitals and in the community …

The aim of this study was to identify extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing
Escherichia coli collected from diseased food-producing animals in Germany. A total of 6849 …

In line with recent reports of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in Escherichia coli
isolates of highly virulent serotypes, such as O104: H4, we investigated the distribution of …

Simple Summary Antimicrobial resistance is a phenomenon spreading through animals and
humans, often with food as a vector. In this study, the presence of extended-spectrum β …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing Escherichia coli have been frequently
isolated from food-producing animals and pose a serious threat to human health. This study …

The putative virulence and antimicrobial resistance gene contents of extended spectrum β-
lactamase (ESBL)-positive E. coli (n= 629) isolated between 2005 and 2009 from humans …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) form the most important resistance determinants
prevalent worldwide. Data on ESBL-producing Escherichia coli from poultry and livestock …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has been documented
in humans as well as in food-producing birds, including chickens, and for unknown reasons …

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli, especially extended–spectrum β-
lactamase (ESBL)–producing strains, in the intestinal tract of broilers could be a threat to …
