Extended-spectrum -lactamases
•Mutant, plasmid-mediated -lactamases enzymes
derived from amino acid substitutions in native lactamases, particularly TEM-1, TEM-2, and SHV-1
•Their ability permit hydrolyze all penicillins,
cephalosporins (except cephamycins), and monobactams
•Typically associated with multidrug resistance
(fluoroquinolones, co-trimoxazole, aminoglycosides)
Extended-spectrum -lactamases
• Most commonly produced by Klebsiella spp.,
Escherichia coli but can occur in other GNB,
including Enterobacter, Salmonella, Proteus, and
Citrobacter spp., Morganella morganii, Serratia
marcescens, Shigella dysenteriae, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, and Burkholderia cepacia

Summary of 3rd-generation cephalosporins on
treatment of ESBL-producing organisms
• Clinical significance of inoculum effect
• Poor clinical outcomes are observed when 3rdgeneration cephalosporins are used for treatment
– Higher fatal outcome
– Higher rate of clinical failure
• 3rd-generation cephalosporins should not be used
to treat serious infections with ESBL-producing
organisms, even in the presence of apparent
susceptibility.

Wong-Beringer et al. Clin Infect Dis 2002; 34: 135-46.
Summary of 4th-generation cephalosporins on
treatment of ESBL-producing organisms
• More stable than 3rd-generation cephalosporins
againt some ESBLs and very stable against
AmpC-type -lactamases
• Inoculum effect, susceptible to SHV-type
• Need high dosage (> 4 grams/day) of cefepime for
achieving the T>MIC target, preferably in
combination with aminoglycoside for synergistic
effect
• Cefepime should not be used to treat serious
infections with ESBL-producing organisms.
Summary of -lactam/-lactamase inhibitor on
treatment of ESBL-producing organisms
• Limited clinical information
• Class A ESBLs are susceptible to clavulanate and
tazobactam in vitro, nevertheless many producers are
resistant to -lactamase inhibitor due to
– Hyperproduction of the ESBLs → overwhelm inhibitor
– Co-production of inhibitor-resistant penicillinases (e.g.
OXA-1) or AmpC enzyme
– Relative impermeability of the host strain
• -lactam/-lactamase inhibitor should not be used to treat
serious infections with ESBL-producing organisms.
Summary of cephamycins on treatment of
ESBL-producing organisms
• Limited clinical data
• Generally effective against Enterobacteriaceae
producing TEM-, SHV-, and CTX-M-derived ESBLs
• Cefotetan > cefoxitin : lower MICs
• Reports of cephamycins resistance development
during prolonged therapy
– Loss of outer membrane porin (porin deficient mutant)
– Acquisition of plasmid-mediated AmpC -lactamase
(ACT-1)
Summary of treatment recommendations for infections
with ESBL producers
No treatment
•Colonization with ESBL producers
Imipenem or meropenem
•Bloodstream infection
•Ventilator-associated pneumonia
•Any producers that appear to have reduced susceptibility to ertapenem
Ertapenem
•Complicated urinary tract infections
•Intra-abdominal infections
•Diabetic food infections
Quinolones
•Infections in patients with risk for allergy to carbapenems, if isolates are susceptible
Nitrofurantoin or fosfomycin
•Uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection

Summary of interventions that could be used to
prevent problem with ESBL-producing bacteria in
hospitalized patients
Individual patient level
•Avoid use of 3rd-generation cephalosporins, aztreonam, or
cefuroxime
•Avoid unnecessary use of invasive devices
•Ensure good hand hygiene before and after patient-care activities
Institutional level
•Restrict use of 3rd-generation cephalosporins
•Introduce contact isolation precautions for patients documented to
have carriage or infection with ESBL-producing organisms
•Investigate envirinmental contamination if increased rates of
ESBL-producing organisms occur
Livermore DM, Peterson DL. ESBLs in resistance 2006.
Take Home Messages
• ESBL-producing bacterial infection is an emerging
problem worldwide.
• These organisms are associated with multi-drug
resistance causing high rate of mortality and treatment
failure.
• The significant risk factors for ESBL-producing
bacterial infection are prior use of antibiotics,
especially 3rd generation cephalosporins, and critically
ill or debilitated patients.
• Need the ESBL-laboratory testing for establish the
problem.
• Carbapenems is the drug of choice for serious ESBLproducing bacterial infection.
• Avoiding overuse or misuse of 3rd generation
cephalosporins and implementing isolation and contact
precaution to prevent and control the ESBL outbreak.
