TLDR
The global spread of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing and carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) poses a significant concern and this work aimed to study ESBL‐producing and CRE transmission in clinical settings.
Abstract
The global spread of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing and carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) poses a significant concern. Acquisition of antimicrobial resistance genes leads to resistance against several antibiotics, limiting treatment options. We aimed to study ESBL‐producing and CRE transmission in clinical settings.
