Abstract excerpt
AIM: To compare the performance of a new chromogenic agar medium CHROMagar ESBL (KC-ESBL) to chromID ESBL (SB-ESBL) for the detection and presumptive identification of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae directly from clinical specimens. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 256 specimens were screened for ESBL producers. Also, the genotypes of the ESBLs and plasmid-mediated AmpC...
