This guidance document provides recommendations to clinicians for treatment of infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and difficult-to-treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DTR-P. …

Analysis of clonal diversity of the ESBL producers suggested different spreading patterns for the two ESBL determinants. Proteus mirabilis is the second most common cause of urinary tract infections and is also an important cause of nosocomial infections ( 25 ).

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes that confer resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam. Infections with ESBL-producing organisms have been associated with poor outcomes.

Nov 28, 2020 · Based on the CLSI M100 standards, ESBL screening and confirmation is indicated only for Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Proteus mirabilis. The most common method of ESBL confirmation is the phenotypic double-disk diffusion method (see image below) based on the inhibition of clavulanic acid over the ESBL enzyme ...

Among these β-lactamases, plasmid-borne extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamases are most worrisome because they result in resistance to nearly all penicillins and cephalosporins and can spread among different species of Enterobacteriaceae [6].

Apr 11, 2024 · Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) break down certain antibiotics, making some infections caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacterales difficult to treat. ESBL-producing Enterobacterales include germs like Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae).

In the present document, guidance is provided on the treatment of infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR- …

The resistance in extended-spectrum alpha-lactamase is rare, but the rising resistance in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing strains is a matter of concern. β-lactamases and antibiotic modifying enzymes mainly constitute the ESBLs resistance mechanism by hydrolyzing the antibiotics.

Infection caused by ESBL Proteus mirabilis is a bacterial infection characterized by resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. It is significant in clinical settings due to its association with healthcare-associated infections. Understanding its definition and …

Feb 25, 2025 · BSIs caused by ESBL-positive organisms have significantly higher mortality rates compared to ESBL-negative isolates. New β-lactam–inhibitor combinations and cefiderocol have promising activity against resistant isolates.
