6. Burden of disease and identification of intervention targets in extended-spectrum β-lactamase-associated infections
Abstract : Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) have surged globally since the early 2000s, partly due to dissemination of CTX-M-15 producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) sequence type 131 and its sub-lineages H30-R and H30-Rx. READ MORE

10. β-lactam combinations against multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales : Exploring combination effects and resistance development
Abstract : The β-lactam antibiotics are a cornerstone in treating bacterial infections, but the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance worldwide threatens their effectiveness. The main driver of β-lactam resistance is the production of β-lactamases, which are bacterial enzymes that inactivate the antibiotic. READ MORE
