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 …

The ongoing global spread and increased prevalence of CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-
lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae is of great concern. The successful distribution of CTX-M …

From the introduction of the first antibiotic to the present day, the emergence of antibiotic
resistance has been a difficult problem for medicine. Regardless of the type of antibiotic …

Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) are increasing rapidly worldwide. E. coli producing
