Infections with organisms producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are associated
with well established risk factors and poor outcomes in adults, but these are less well …

Objective. The increasing prevalence of infections caused by extended-spectrum β-
lactamase–producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species (ESBL-EK) has become a …

The clinical significance of ESBL infections is that they are associated with an increased risk
of clinical treatment failure. This is chiefly due to the organisms being resistant to first-line …

Aim: To determine the risk factors for the acquisition of nosocomial extended‐spectrum β‐
lactamase (ESBL)‐producing Enterobacteriaceae infection in infants hospitalized in …

Background Infections by extended-spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBL)-producing
Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) are an increasing problem in pediatrics and are usually …

This prospective cohort study was conducted to determine the frequency of infections
caused by extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase‐(ESBL‐) producing organisms, various …

Background: To study risk factors of neonatal nosocomial infection caused by extended-
spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria in a neonatal intensive care unit …

To study the growing trend of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing
Enterobacteriaceae in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), 88 nonrepetitive ESBL …

Little information is available about pediatric infections caused by extended-spectrum-β-
lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli. We characterized an outbreak caused by a …

The production of β-lactamase is the most common mechanism of resistance to β-lactam
antibiotics among gram-negative bacteria. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are …
