Molecular Epidemiology of Extended-spectrum β-Lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in South Korea: A Korean Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: bloodstream isolates in Korea and identified clinical risk factors for cefotaxime resistance. Methods: and related clinical information from patients with BSIs at eight sentinel hospitals in the Korean Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (Kor-GLASS) collection network during 2017-2021. Duplicate isolates were removed to ensure representativeness of the data. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested using disk diffusion tests, and multilocus sequence typing and beta-lactamase genotyping were performed. Results: . Conclusions: is required to prevent further dissemination, guide empirical therapy, inform infection control policies, and ensure early detection of multidrug-resistant clones with the potential for widespread transmission.
