Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The human gut microbiota is an important reservoir of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec). Community surveillance studies of ESBL-Ec to monitor circulating clones and ESBL genes are logistically challenging and costly. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate if isolates obtained in routine clinical practice can be used as an alternative to monitor the distribution of clones and ESBL genes circulating in the...
