10 Treatment Considerations for ESBL Infections Source Severity Microbiology Drug Properties Effective treatment of ESBL infection Minimize risk of further resistance Tamma et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017; 64: MFMER slide-10

11 Treatment Options for ESBL Infections Carbapenems β-lactams/β-lactamase inhibitors (βl-βlis) Generally drug of choice, especially in severe disease/high inoculum infections Cefepime, cephamycins Fluoroquinolones Fosfomycin Nitrofurantoin Tigecycline Tamma et al.
