Extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL)-producing-Enterobacteriaceae strains were
detected in 12z (6 out of 50) of fecal samples collected from the inpatients of a Japanese …

In Japan, the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers in hospital
settings has shown an increasing trend. In the present study, we investigated the prevalence …

Purpose The assessment and early recognition of risk factors for infections due to extended-
spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) are important for infection …

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae have spread
globally as one of the most common multidrug resistant organisms. Although a wide variety …

Objective: The isolation of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria has
increased worldwide. Fecal colonization with ESBL-producing isolates is considered a …

Objective: Fecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae
may contribute to the spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing …

We aimed to investigate the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-
producing Escherichia coli in Beijing Tongren hospital and to identify a possible relation …

Background: Widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics has led to an increase in
antibiotic-resistant bacteria worldwide. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are …

This study was performed to characterize CTX-M type extended spectrum β-lactamase
(ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae carriage in asymptomatic health individuals, which …

Infectious diseases caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing
Escherichia coli are prevalent because of nosocomial infection. In addition, colonization of …
