Methods of ESBLs Detection in Clinical Microbiology Lab

Authors: Abdelrahman Abdelmoktader* and Amira Talal El Far

Abstract

Microbial resistance through extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) has emerged globally, and ESBL –producing Enterobacteriacae are recognized worldwide as nosocomial pathogens of major importance. Several phenotypic tests have been recommended for screening and confirmation of ESBL-producing organisms, but these are usually performed on isolated organisms following culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing.
