Background Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli has
tremendously increased worldwide and it is one of the most common causes of morbidity …

The correct identification of the genes involved in ESBL mediated resistance is necessary for
the surveillance and epidemiological studies of their transmission in hospitals. The aim of …
