Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes that confer resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam. Infections with ESBL-producing organisms have been associated with poor outcomes.
Other Escherichia coli [E. coli] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. B96. 29 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Some germs, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella, produce an enzyme called extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL). This enzyme makes the germ harder to treat with antibiotics.
What is an ESBL infection? ESBL stands for extended spectrum beta-lactamase. It's an enzyme found in some strains of bacteria. ESBL-producing bacteria can't be killed by many of the antibiotics that doctors use to treat infections, like penicillins and some cephalosporins. This makes it harder to treat.

Introduction. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are beta-lactamases that hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins, and aztreonam; do not hydrolyze cephamycins; and are inhibited by beta-lactamase inhibitors. Beyond that, ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) are frequently resistant to other antibiotics.
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli have been recognized as a major multidrug-resistant bacteria implicated in serious hospital and community-acquired infections worldwide, especially in places where poor sanitation, and inadequate hygienic practices are very common (1–4).
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are class A β-lactamases, a rapidly evolving group of β-lactamases with the ability to hydrolyze and cause resistance to the oxy-imino cephalosporins (cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, and cefepime) and monobactams (aztreonam). ESBL-producing E. coli and K.
These infections most commonly occur in people with exposure to healthcare, including those in hospitals and nursing homes. However, unlike many other resistant germs, ESBL-producing Enterobacterales can also cause infections in otherwise healthy people who have not been recently been in healthcare settings.
What is an ESBL? ESBL means Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase producing organism. ESBL enzymes are normally produced by micro-organisms in the bowel, such as E. coli and Klebsiella. The enzymes break down antibiotics (making them ineffective), and subsequently infections become more difficult to treat.
Several other tests have been developed to confirm the presence of ESBLs.Double-disk synergy test. ... Three-dimensional test. ... Inhibitor-potentiated disk-diffusion test. ... Cephalosporin/clavulanate combination disks on iso-sensitest agar. ... Disk approximation test.
