Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increasingly, Enterobacteriaceae isolates that are positive for the extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL) by phenotypic screening tests yield a negative result when tested with the reference Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) ESBL confirmatory test. The aim is to determine to what extent the different plasmid AmpC (pAmpC) genotypes could affect the CLSI ESBL confirmatory test for...
