Increasing Incidence of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-ProducingEscherichia coliin Community Hospitals throughout the Southeastern United States

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) infections DESIGN Retrospective cohort SETTING Inpatient care at community hospitals PATIENTS All patients with ESBL-EC or ESBL-KP infections METHODS ESBL-EC and ESBL-KP infections from 26 community hospitals were prospectively entered into a centralized database from January 2009 to December 2014. RESULTS A total of 925 infections caused by ESBL-EC (… Show more

“…The evidence shows that the prevalence of ESBL‐P Enterobacteriaceae is increasing at both hospital and community settings globally. A thorough knowledge in terms of the prevalence of ESBL‐P Enterobacteriaceae in maternal UTIs in various geographic regions is clinically important from two aspects.…”

“…These types of resistant bacteria are increasingly implicated as causes of both community- and hospital-acquired infections [6, 7] and are associated with higher levels of mortality than non-ESBL producers [8]. Across sub-Saharan Africa, a limited number of studies have described high levels of ESBL faecal carriage in children in association with hospital facilities [913].…”

“…This observation may be due to differences in host factors, as patients with ESC-R K. pneumoniae are more likely than those with ESC-R E. coli to have hospital-acquired infections or previous health care exposure and/or chronic medical conditions (18,19). Finally, we observed an especially high rate of concordance (71%) among patients with index infections with the ST131-associated E. coli type 40-30 strain.…”
