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
- Common in E. coli, Klebsiella, and Proteus spp.
- Class C
- Inducible AmpC gene present in the genome
- Common in Citrobacter, Serratia, and Enterobacter
Management
- Antibiotic therapy tailored to the resistance pattern
- Carbapenems, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and Septra typically work well
