For overnight detection of Gram-negative bacteria producing Beta-Lactamase Background β-Lactamase production (ESBL, AmpC,...) is the most common mechanism of β-lactam drug resistance in gram-negative bacteria. Many clinical laboratories currently screen for ESBLs but do not screen for AmpC β-lactamases; though bacteria (mostly Klebsiella pneumonia, E. coli, Enterobacter and Proteus) producing plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases have been responsible for nosocomial outbreaks. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that proper surveillance is in place to help establish appropriate guidelines and policies...
