Clinical and Interpretive
Extended spectrum B-lactamases are transferable resistance mechanisms found mainly among enterobacteriaceae which confer resistance to numerous B-lactam antibiotics. Patients at risk of infection due to urogenital procedures are screened for the presence of these microorganisms prior to the procedure. If the screen is positive, patients can be given the appropriate prophylactic antibiotic(s).
