Antibiotic Resistance Profiles and Molecular Characteristics of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated From Shrimp Aquaculture Farms in Kerala, India

Antibiotic Resistance Profiles and Molecular Characteristics of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated From Shrimp Aquaculture Farms in Kerala, India

This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in selected shrimp aquaculture farms (n = 37) in Kerala, South India and to characterize the isolates using molecular tools. Overall, a low prevalence...
