Abstract
Forty clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp. were identified as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producers by disk diffusion. The VITEK 2 Advanced Expert System (AES) identified the ESBL phenotype in only 25 isolates (62.5%), and erroneously reported cephalosporin susceptibility in 11 isolates (28%). Refinements in the AES are required in order to improve ESBL detection in Enterobacter.Entities:
