Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2006 The definition of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) has expanded rapidly, in terms of both the number and the variety of enzymes. Bacteria bearing plasmidic ESBLs are spreading widely throughout the world.

Controversies about Extended-Spectrum and AmpC Beta-Lactamases [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001 Many clinical laboratories have problems detecting extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases. Confusion exists about the importance of these resistance mechanisms, optimal test methods, and appropriate reporting ...

Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamases: Definition, Classification and Epidemiology. [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2015 Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are defined as enzymes produced by certain bacteria that are able to hydrolyze extended spectrum cephalosporin.

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases: the European experience
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2001 Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases mediate resistance to cephalosporin antibiotics and were first discovered in Europe in the early 1980s. They have become a widespread problem, particularly in Klebsiella pneumoniae, but increasingly in non-typhoid ...

Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases
Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2016 • The authors have assessed the validity of DDST by detecting three beta-lactamase genes: blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and blaSHV by PCR and consider their presence in bacteria as the genetic basis for ESBL production.

Exposure assessment of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases/AmpC beta-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli in meat in Denmark [PDF]
Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2014 Introduction Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC beta-lactamases (AmpC) are of concern for veterinary and public health because of their ability to cause treatment failure due to antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacteriaceae.

Redefining extended-spectrum beta-lactamases: balancing science and clinical need.
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2008 The current beta-lactamase classifications have reached a high level of complexity, making them less accessible to clinicians, infection control professionals, hospital management and politicians.
