Enhanced ESBL Detection in E. coli & K. pneumoniae by leoheni728 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study evaluates the Modified Double Disc Synergy Test (MDDST) for detecting Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) production in urinary isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, finding a prevalence of 63.4% and 60.3% respectively. The results indicate that cefepime enhances the detection of ESBLs, particularly in strains co-producing AmpC β-lactamases, which can lead to false negatives with standard methods. The study highlights the importance of using MDDST to improve ESBL detection and t
