Abstract excerpt
AIM: To characterize temporal shifts in extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and clones of clinical Escherichia coli isolates. MATERIALS & METHODS: All ESBL-producing E. coli isolates from a Portuguese hospital (n = 112; June 2006-June 2007 and January-December 2010) were characterized by identification of phylogenetic groups, ESBL-types and virulence genes, XbaI-PFGE and MLST. RESULTS: We observed a...
