Abstract excerpt
The disk approximation method, Etest (AB Biodisk, Solna, Sweden), and VITEK 2 system (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) were used to study 399 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing (115 strains) and non-ESBL-producing (284 strains) clinical isolates of Escherichia coli after recommended procedures.
