The emergence of Escherichia coli with CTX-M extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in the United Kingdom

2007-01-01

Abstract excerpt

In the past decade, multi-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> with CTX-M enzymes have rapidly become the leading producers of extended-spectrum β-Iactamases (ESBLs) worldwide. <i>E. coli</i> with CTX-M-15 β-Iactamases are the most common, and are now endemic in many UK hospitals and in the community. Their epidemiology is complex, including five major epidemic clones as defined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, a...
