and Activity of Amoxicillin-Clavulanate Combined with Ceftibuten or Cefpodoxime Against Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing and .

Infections due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are an increasingly common problem. For many of these infections, no oral treatment options are available. The activity of amoxicillin-clavulanate combined with ceftibuten or cefpodoxime was evaluated against a group of and clinical isolates possessing a variety of CTX-M- and SHV-type ESBLs; some possessed bla as well.

Molecular epidemiology of a citywide outbreak of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.

Multidrug-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are a problem in many hospitals. In 1999, the molecular epidemiology of K. pneumoniae with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) was studied at 15 hospitals in Brooklyn.

Citywide clonal outbreak of multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Brooklyn, NY: the preantibiotic era has returned.

Background: Carbapenems are important agents for treating nosocomial gram-negative infections. Carbapenem-resistant bacteria have become increasingly problematic in certain regions. This study determined the citywide prevalence and molecular epidemiological features of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Brooklyn, NY.
