Synthesis and Characterization of Carbon Dots Coated CaCO Nanocarrier for Levofloxacin Against Multidrug Resistance Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase of Urinary Tract Infection Origin.

The multidrug resistance (MDR) having Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) genes and the capacity to create a biofilm acts as a major reduction in the therapeutic effectiveness of antimicrobials.
