Prevalence and clinical significance of the genotypic carriage among ESBL phenotype-negative Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates in bacteremia: a study in a Malaysian tertiary center.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can lead to fatal consequences. AMR genes carriage by phenotypically susceptible bacteria, such as Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL)s in Enterobacteriaceae, have potential implications for AMR spread and therapeutic outcomes. This phenomenon should be investigated. Methods: Positive blood cultures from hospitalized patients in a Malaysian tertiary center between...
