Community carriage of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae : a cross-sectional study of risk factors and comparative genomics of carriage and clinical isolates

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT The global prevalence of infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) is increasing, and for Escherichia coli , observations indicate that this is partly driven by community-onset cases. The ESBL-E population structure in the community is scarcely described, and data on risk factors for carriage are conflicting. Here, we report the prevalence and population...
