ESBL Escherichia coli Isolates Have Enhanced Gut Colonization Capacity Compared to Non-ESBL Strains in Neonatal Mice

ABSTRACT Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli can cause invasive infections in infants and immunocompromised children with high associated morbidity and mortality. The gut is a major reservoir of these strains in the community. Current dogma dictates that antimicrobial...
