Screening and confirmatory assays for detection of ESBLs (extendedspectrum ß-lactamases) production by Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates <br> Métodos de triagem e de confirmação para detecção de BLEAs (beta lactamases de espectro ampliados) em isolados de Klebsiella pneumoniae
ESBLs (extended-spectrum ß-lactamases) are enzymes produced by Enterobacteriaceae, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, which mediate resistance to extended-spectrum ß-lactams and aztreonam.
