Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) resistance Z16. 12 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z16. 12 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ESBLs are most commonly detected in Klebsiella pneumoniae, which is an opportunistic pathogen associated with severe infections in hospitalized patients, including immunocompromised hosts with severe underlying diseases2. ESBL producing K.
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.
Pneumonia due to Klebsiella pneumoniae J15. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
0 Pneumonia due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an Enterobacteriaceae member which often displays resistance towards β-lactam antibiotics, particularly through β-lactamase expression of which the most important are cephalosporinases, such as extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases [6].
Klebsiella pneumoniae has been frequently found to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). 1 Infections caused by ESBL-producing pathogens are problematic because when co-resistance to other antimicrobial class is present, limited antibiotic options are available.
B96. 1 - Klebsiella pneumoniae [K. pneumoniae] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. ICD-10-CM.
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.
What is ESBL? ESBL stands for Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase. Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by some bacteria that may make them resistant to some antibiotics. ESBL production is associated with a bacteria usually found in the bowel.
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.
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.
You can spread ESBL infection to others. But because you aren't sick, you don't need treatment. But if ESBL bacteria enter the body and causes an infection, this can make you very sick or even be fatal if not treated properly.
But klebsiella pneumoniae can be dangerous if they get into other parts of your body, especially if you're already sick. They can turn into “superbugs” that are almost impossible to fight with common antibiotics. The germs can give you pneumonia, infect your wound or blood, and cause other serious problems.
Most ESBL infections can be treated successfully once your doctor has found a medication that can stop the resistant bacteria. After your infection is treated, your doctor will likely give you good hygiene practices. These can help ensure you don't develop any other infections that can also resist antibiotics.
