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.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z16. 21: Resistance to vancomycin.
ESBL bacteria can be spread from person to person on contaminated hands of both patients and healthcare workers. The risk of transmission is increased if the person has diarrhoea or has a urinary catheter in place as these bacteria are often carried harmlessly in the bowel.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B95 B95.
How is ESBL spread? Most ESBL infections are spread by direct contact with an infected person's bodily fluids (blood, drainage from a wound, urine, bowel movements, or phlegm). They can also be spread by contact with equipment or surfaces that have been contaminated with the germ.Jan 5, 2021
Many tests have been recommended for the detection of ESBL production in vitro. The most commonly used methods include double disc synergy test, combined disc method and E-test. Several automated systems have also been developed for detection and some laboratories use molecular methods for detection of ESBL phenomenon.
Although ESBLs can be made by different bacteria, they are most often made by E. coli (more correctly called Escherichia coli).Mar 15, 2018

NEC Not elsewhere classifiable#N#This abbreviation in the Tabular List represents “other specified”. When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Tabular List includes an NEC entry under a code to identify the code as the “other specified” code.
An Excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together.
List of terms is included under some codes. These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of “other specified” codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code.
