ESBL Production In Escherichia Coli Bloodstream Infections Associated With Longer Hospitalization And Increased Risk For Recurrence, Study Suggests

Infectious Disease Advisor (1/2, Chan) reports, “Although extended-spectrum β-lactamase production in Escherichia coli bloodstream infections is not associated with increased fatality risk, it is associated with longer hospitalization and increased risk for recurrence when compared with non-ESBL-Ec BSI.” The findings were published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.
