Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producingEscherichia colicause up to 10% of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). We report changes in ESBL prevalence among CAUTIs in an adult acute care hospital from 2006-2012 and describe factors associated ESBL-production amongE. coliCAUTI...
Table 1. Resistance to 10 antibiotic categories and ESBL production of 126 UPEC O25b clinical strains. 3.3. Resistance Associated with the Phenotypic Expression of ESBLs and Integrons ESBL phenotypic expression was determined for the 126 UPEC O25b strains as suggested by CLSI [18]. Briefly, 64....
As previously described [4] in silico MLST-analyses of theE. coliisolates were determined using schemes demonstrated by Achtman which made use of allelic variation amongst seven housekeeping genes (adk, fumC, gyrB, icd, mdh, purA, and recA)to assign sequence types (STs) [27]. We used whole...
