Definition

  • Bacteria containing a plasmid that codes for an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)
  • Most common with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella

Classification

  • Class A
    • Constitutively expressed plasmid
    • Most common ESBL in Gram-negative bacteria
    • Resistance to 2nd and 3rd generation cephalosporins
    • Examples include penicillinase, TEM-1 (common in GNBs), CTX-M, K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) family
    • Common in E. coli, Klebsiella, and Proteus spp.
  • Class B: metallobetalactamases
    • Examples include New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1)
  • Class C: ampC
  • Class D: OXA

Management

  • Antibiotic therapy tailored to the resistance pattern
  • Carbapenems, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and Septra typically work well
