Prevalence of Extended-spectrum β-lactamase in Latvia

A total of 507 strains of the Enterobacteriaceae family were tested for the production of ESBL using mini API, ATB Expert system as a screening method, as well as the double disk method and E-test for confirmation. The prevalence of ESBL producing E. coli is 5.95%, Klebsiella spp. strains 37.7%. All...

Zusammenfassung:A total of 507 strains of the Enterobacteriaceae family were tested for the production of ESBL using mini API, ATB Expert system as a screening method, as well as the double disk method and E-test for confirmation. The prevalence of ESBL producing E. coli is 5.95%, Klebsiella spp. strains 37.7%. All ESBL- producing isolates are susceptible to imipenem and clavulanate. The susceptibility to other antimicrobials varies from 36 to 92%.
