Existence of Multiple ESBL Genes among Phenotypically Confirmed ESBL Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> Concurrently Isolated from Clinical, Colonization and Contamination Samples from Neonatal Units at Bugando Medical Center, Mwanza, Tanzania

Existence of Multiple ESBL Genes among Phenotypically Confirmed ESBL Producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> Concurrently Isolated from Clinical, Colonization and Contamination Samples from Neonatal Units at Bugando Medical Center, Mwanza, Tanzania

The proportions and similarities of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing <i>K. pneumoniae</i> (ESBL-KP) and <i>E. coli</i> (ESBL-EC) carrying multiple ESBL genes is poorly known at our setting. This study investigated the existence of multiple ESBL genes (<i>b...
