Bacteria.extended spectrum beta lactamase resistance [Identifier] in Anal by Organism specific culture
Bacteria.ESBL Anal Cult
Definition
- Screening for bacteria with extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) enzymes may be performed using a rectal swab plated onto a culture medium (e.g. MacConkey agar) containing high concentraitons of a 3rd generation cephalosporin. Any bacterial growth will be identified and full susceptibility performed. Patients infected with gram negative bacteria with ESBL enzymes are a concern for inpatients, especially those who are admitted from extended care facilities. This is for infection control purposes to know a patient needs to be on contact isolation.
