Abstract
Multidrug resistance is a major threat causing a wide range of infections worldwide. The Enterobacteriaceae family is held responsible for many cases of antibiotic resistance, mainly by the means of ESBLs production. ESBL-producing bacteria are resistant to β-lactam antibiotics and commonly to other drugs as aminoglycosides & fluoroquinolones. It’s important to detect the ESBL-producing bacterial strains to establish an effective treatment plan, and to implement proper hospital infection control procedures. The MDDST is a reliable method for ESBL detection with several drawbacks. The ESBL NDP test can be used as a sensitive, specific and rapid alternative method for ESBL detection.
