Characterisation of genes encoding for extended spectrum β-lactamase in Gram-negative bacteria causing healthcare-associated infections in Mwanza, Tanzania

Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) caused by extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacteria (ESBL-GNB) increase morbidity and mortality. This cross-sectional study characterised ESBL genes (blaCTX-M, blaTEM and blaSHV) among 30 ceftriaxone-resistant GNB causing HCAIs between Ja...
