Extended-Spectrum β-lactamase Production among Enterobacter cloacae and Enterobacter aerogenes at a Tertiary Care Center in Coastal Karnataka [PDF]
Introduction: Enterobacter spp. have been increasingly isolated as nosocomial pathogens. Multi-drug resistance is more frequently noted among these pathogens. Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) are difficult to detect in Enterobacter spp.
