Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to develop a modular, diagnostic algorithm for extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) detection in Enterobacteriaceae. Clinical Enterobacteriaceae strains (n = 2518) were screened for ESBL production using Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints for third-generation cephalosporins and by synergy image detection (clavulanic acid/extended-spectrum cephalosporins). Isolates...
