ESBL resistance mechanisms among<br />
cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in<br />
London and South-East England 2004<br />
Species N CTX-M (%) Other ESBL (%) AmpC (%)<br />
Escherichia <strong>coli</strong> 574 291 (50.7) 88 (15.3) 41 (7.1)<br />
Klebsiella spp. 243 198 (81.5) 24 (9.9) 1<br />
Enterobacter spp. 201 8 (4.0) 26 (12.9) 90 (44.8)<br />
Estimate 2.5% of all E. <strong>coli</strong> isolates are cephalosporin<br />
resistant; 1.1% of all carry CTX-M enzymes<br />
9.7% of all Klebsiella spp. isolates are cephalosporin resistant;<br />
7.6% of all carry CTX-M or other ESBL<br />
