Background: Bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics represents a major public health challenge that complicates the implementation of treatment programs. Multiple mechanisms contribute to beta-lactamase resistance. A high incidence of ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria has been reported in numerous investigations to have that profile. One of the primary triggers of infection of the urin...
