The rapid detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) is a challenge for most clinical microbiology laboratories because inaccurate identification of ESBL producers has important clinical implications for both antibiotic treatment and infection control. The aim of our study was to develop a rapid detection assay of ESBL producers based upon flow cytometric analysis. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing...
