Detection of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases in Klebsiellae with the Oxoid Combination Disk Method

The Oxoid combination disk method for detecting extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) depends on comparing the inhibition zones of cefpodoxime (10-μg) and cefpodoxime-plus-clavulanate (10- plus 1-μg) disks. The presence of clavulanate enlarged the zones for all of 180 ESBL-producing klebsiellae by...
