Prevalence of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase among Diarrheagenic Strains of Escherichia Coli among Children in Yenagoa, Nigeria.
Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) have increasingly shown to harbor resistance to antimicrobial agents including genes for extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of ESBL-production among DEC children less than five years. A total of 139 chil...
