Prevalence of multidrug‐resistant gram‐negative bacilli producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (<scp>ESBL</scp>s) and <scp>ESBL</scp> genes in solid organ transplant recipients

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacilli pose a serious and rapidly emerging threat to recipients of solid organ transplants (SOTs). However, extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), as one of the cardinal mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobial agents in SOT recipients, remain obscure. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of strains producing ESBLs in SOT patients with MDR...
