Is ESBL E coli?

Some germs, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella, produce an enzyme called extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL). This enzyme makes the germ harder to treat with antibiotics.

What is the ESBL infection?

What is an ESBL infection? ESBL stands for extended spectrum beta-lactamase. It’s an enzyme found in some strains of bacteria.
