Background: The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing
Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) is increasing worldwide. ESBL-E are known to colonize …

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and associated risk factors of infections caused
by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Methods A case …

Background In intensive care unit (ICU), infection and colonization by resistant Gram-
negative bacteria increase costs, length of stay and mortality. Extended-spectrum beta …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing bacteria are emerging pathogens. To
analyze risk factors for colonization with ESBL-producing bacteria at intensive care unit …

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 …

Purpose The changed epidemiology of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), the
spread to the community and the need for prudent use of carbapenems require updated …

Background. Infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing
Enterobacteriaceae are increasing in frequency and are associated with high mortality rates …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are pathogens that
may lead to a spectrum of clinical syndromes. We aimed to identify predictors and outcomes …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have been increasingly described worldwide,
especially among Enterobacteriaceae isolates, and recently not only in the nosocomial, but …

Background. Bloodstream infections due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–
producing Enterobacteriaceae have been associated with increased hospital costs, length of …
