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

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

The occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolates has
increased worldwide. Fecal carriage of ESBL-producing isolates has mainly been detected …

We aimed to reassess, through clinical items, populations at risk for extended-spectrum beta-
lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) carriage at admission to hospital and to …

Background Description of the clinical pictures of patients colonized or infected by ESBL-
producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates and admitted to hospital are rather scarce in Europe …

Presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL-E), AmpC-producing and
carbapenemase-producing (CPE) Enterobacteriaceae has been observed not only in the …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal carriage of
extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and carbapenem …

Objective The incidence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing enterobacteria
(ESBLE) has regularly increased over the last few years. However, little is known about …

Objective. To determine the rates of and risk factors for carriage and acquisition of extended-
spectrum (β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae during hospitalization …

ABSTRACT In 1999, 39 of 2,599 isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae (1.5%) collected
by eight private laboratories in the Aquitaine region in France produced an extended …
