Bacteremia Caused by Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Sequence Type ST131 and Non-ST131 Clones: Comparison of Demographic Data, Clinical Features, and Mortality

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli producing the highly virulent, multidrug-resistant, CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), sequence type 131 (ST131), has emerged on three continents since the late 2000s. We described the molecular epidemiology, clinical features, and outcome of ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia in Taiwan from 2005 to 2010. This study aims to determine whether the risk factors, clinical features, and...
