Objectives Intestinal colonization by ESBL Escherichia coli and its association with
community-acquired MDR infections is of great concern. This review determined the …

Background. Gut colonization is a risk factor for infections with extended-spectrum beta-
lactamase (ESBL)–producing organisms. We aimed to determine the ESBL class A reservoir …

Resistance of the Enterobacteriaceae to antibiotics, especially of the β lactam type, is
increasingly dominated by the mobilization of continuously expressed single genes that …

In the last 10 years, extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing enterobacteria (ESBL-E)
have become one of the main challenges for antibiotic treatment of enterobacterial …

Production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is the principal mechanism of
resistance to oxyimino-cephalosporins evolved by members of the family …

Background. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are the major extended‐spectrum
β‐lactamase‐(ESBL‐) producing organisms increasingly isolated as causes of complicated …

Abstract Background South-Asia is known as a hub for multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria.
Unfortunately, proper surveillance and documentation of MDR pathogens is lacking in …

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is widely acknowledged as a global health
problem, yet in many parts of the world its magnitude is not well elucidated. A baseline …

Antibacterial resistance–associated infections are known to increase morbidity, mortality,
and cost of treatment, and to potentially put others in the community at higher risk of …

Background Beta lactams are the most commonly used group of antimicrobials worldwide.
The presence of extended-spectrum lactamases (ESBL) affects significantly the treatment of …
