2016 - Survey of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Summary

Until 2005 hospital and community laboratories were requested to refer all isolations of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriacae to ESR for confirmation and further characterisation. Annual summaries of confirmed isolates are available. Between 2006 and 2014, national surveillance of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae was based on annual surveys. After 2014, less frequent surveys were performed. Survey reports are available.
