Abstract:
Enzyme extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) was determined from 2396 strains of E.Coli and 802 strains of Klebsiella isolated from clinical specimens at 18 hospitals (9 in North, 5 in Central and 4 in South of Vietnam in 1999-2001 years period by the method of Double Discs. Results showed that 6.4-7.8% of E.Coli and 15.6-29.7% Klebsiella strains produced ESBL. These percentages varied according to the strains isolated from various specimens
