[Clinical significance of the determination of ESBL (extended- spectrum beta-lactamase) production by gram-negative nosocomial bacteria].
Abstract
Data on the incidence of multiresistant nosocomial bacterial strains of Xanthomonas (Stenotrophomonas) maltophilia, producing in addition to metallo-beta-lactamases also new types of broad spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) called for analyses of the production of different types of enzymes.
