Molecular characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolated from lower respiratory tract samples between 2002 and 2019 in the Central Slovenia region

Abstract Background Antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious global health problems and threatens the effective treatment of bacterial infections. Of greatest concern are infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC). The aim of our study was to eval...
