"Infections caused by ESBL-E. coli bacteria are difficult to treat. And they are becoming more common in both the community and hospitals," David Livermore of the University of East Anglia's ...

The patients were infected with ESBL-producing E. coli. ESBLs, or extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, are enzymes produced by bacteria, commonly E. coli, and are often resistant to common antibiotics.

People failing to wash their hands after going to the toilet, rather than undercooked meat or other food, is behind the spread of antibiotic-resistant E. coli, according to new research.

E. coli and Klebsiella infections are usually treated with common antibiotics like penicillins and cephalosporins. But, when these bacteria produce ESBLs, they become resistant to these antibiotics.

ESBL-E. coli live in the intestines of humans and animals, much of which is harmless. However, some strains can cause symptoms of food poisoning such as diarrhea and vomiting, urinary tract ...

No ESBL-E. coli was found in fruits or vegetables and only a few other meat samples. To their surprise, they found that one strain predominated among all the ESBL-positive strains from the human ...

The donor stool had not been specifically tested for the ESBL E. coli as screening for this bacterium was not adopted into screening protocols until January 2019.

ESBL-producing Escherichia coli was isolated from 92 (94%) of the samples (total, 163 isolates). Further analysis of 81 isolates from 42 samples revealed genes from six ESBL groups.
