Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase- (ESBL)-Producing Bacteria Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) -- Producing Bacteria Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are chemicals made by certain kinds of germs (bacteria). These germs (or ESBL for short) break down several types of antibiotics (medications that fight infection).So, when a person gets sick because of ESBL, the infection is harder to treat with those antibiotics.ESBL is mainly spread among people in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Infections due to ESBL usually affect the urinary tract and gut (intestine).They can also affect wounds and the blood.hese germs (or ESBL for short) break down several types of antibiotics (medications that fight infection).

Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) & ESBL Infection Certain strains of bacteria are resistant to treatments with commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporins. These bacteria produce enzymes known as E xtended S pectrum B eta-L actamases or ESBLs for short.f a patient is suspected to have an infection then a swab or or specimen of the infected area will be taken and sent to the microbiology lab for testing. It is very important that diagnosis of ESBL is made quickly so that the most appropriate treatment can be prescribed quickly.

Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) & ESBL Infection A urinary tract infection is the most commonly caused infection by ESBL producing E. Coli but more serious life-threatening infections of the blood and lungs can also occur. These infections are often very difficult to treat due to their resistance to antibiotics.

Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy (EBUS) Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy (EBUS) Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive but highly effective procedure used to diagnose lung cancer, infections, and other diseases causing enlarged lymph nodes in the chest. UC San Diego Health was one of the first centers on the West Coast to offer EBUS and remains a regional leader in volume and overall experience.

Infectious mononucleosis Infectious mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis is also known as ‘glandular fever’. It typically affects young adults aged 15 to 25 years. Infectious mononucleosis is caused by human herpes virus type 4, more often known as Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). This virus is passed from person to person by saliva such as sharing a glass or kissing.

- GBS bacteria are a normal part of the commonly found bacteria in the human body. Normally, the presence of GBS does not cause problems. In certain circumstances, however, Group B Strep bacteria can invade the body and cause serious infection; this is referred to as Group B Strep disease.roup B Streptococcus (GBS) is a type of bacteria that is found in the lower intestine of 10-35% of all healthy adults and in the vagina and/or lower intestine of 10-35% of all healthy, adult women.

Enterobacter Infections Enterobacter species are important nosocomial pathogens responsible for various infections, including bacteremia, lower respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), endocarditis, intra-abdominal infections, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and ophthalmic infections.nterobacter species rarely cause disease in a healthy individual. This opportunistic pathogen, similar to other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, possesses an endotoxin known to play a major role in the pathophysiology of sepsis and its complications.

Featured Bovine / Cattle diseases EBL is a chronic disease of cattle caused by the retrovirus Bovine leukemia virus (BLV). The disease is transmitted either directly by transmission of lymphocytes via blood, semen, or milk, or indirectly via insects. The disease does not spread rapidly, but in infected herds the number of seropositive animals may be 80%.
