Original Source: Risk Factors for Bloodstream Infections due to Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The risk factors for production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have rarely been studied for bloodstream infections of Escherichia coli alone. A case-control study was undertaken to identify the risk factors associated with bloodstream infections caused by ESBL producing E. coli. METHODS: From January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2007, all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of bloodstream infection caused by ESBL-producing E. coli were reviewed. Each patient was matched with one con...
