What are ESBL producing bacteria. • The term ESBLs is used to mean acquired, class A β-lactamases that hydrolyze and confer resistance to oxyimino- ‘2nd- and 3rd-generation’ cephalosporins, eg cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime and ceftriaxone Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Confer resistance to 1st , 2nd, 3rd cephalosporins. Most are susceptible to β-lactamase inhibitors Most are susceptible to 4th cephalosporins All are susceptible to carbapenems Diversity of ESBL SHV (widespread) TEM (>100 types) OXA Predominantly in Pseudomonas less susceptible to β-lactamase inhibitors CTX-M Probably independent evolution Highly resistant to 3rd generation cephalosporins initially in South America, Far East & Eastern Europe Probably most frequent worldwide Clonal spread has been documented ESBL Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Further complicating matters: • More than one gene of β-lactamase / ESBL / ampC / carbapenemase can be carried on the same plasmid. • Genes of ESBL are carried on plasmids that usually carry additional resistant genes: frequently MDR • Laboratory diagnosis confusing: susceptibility profiles sometimes misleading: “hidden resistance” -> CLSI guidelines are changing. • CTX-M clones appearing in the community (Canada, Greece, Spain, Italy). Dr.T.V.Rao MD
ESBLs include: • Cephalosporin-hydrolysing mutants of TEM and SHV - the common plasmid-mediated penicillinases of Enterobacteriaceae. Well over 100 such variants are known • • CTX-M types. These evolved separately, at least some of them via the escape and mutation of chromosomal β-lactamases of Kluyvera species. Over 30 variants are known Obscure types, e.g. VEB and PER, not yet of concern in the UK; also OXA (Class D) ESBLs from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in Turkey. Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Esbl are important cause of resistance • ESBLs are not the sole β-lactamases to confer resistance to 2nd and 3rd generation cephalosporins, but are the most important. They occur mostly in Enterobacteriaceae (e.g. E. coli, Klebsiella species and Enterobacter species) and rarely in non-fermenters (e.g. P. aeruginosa). Dr.T.V.Rao MD
They should be distinguishedfrom other important modes of resistance to 2nd and 3rd generation cephalosporins, eg: • Hyper produced chromosomal AmpC β-lactamases, especially in Enterobacter species. • • Plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases, in Klebsiella spp. and E. coli (rare) • • Hyper produced K1 chromosomal β-lactamases in K. oxytoca not pneumoniae) • • Efflux-mediated resistance in P. aeruginosa • • Various ill-defined mechanisms in Acinetobacter species. Dr.T.V.Rao MD
LABORATORY DETECTION: SCREENING andCONFIRMATION Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Primary testing for Esbl detection • The basic strategy to detect ESBL producers is to use an indicator cephalosporin to screen for likely producers, then to seek cephalosporin/clavulanate synergy, which distinguishes ESBL producers from, for example, strains that hyper producer AmpC or K1 enzymes. Dr.T.V.Rao MD
SCREENING • The ideal indicator cephalosporin is one to which all ESBLs confer resistance, even when their production is scanty. Choice is predicated by the following general traits: • TEM and SHV ESBLs – obvious resistance to ceftazidime, variable to cefotaxime • CTX-M ESBLs – obvious resistance to cefotaxime: variable to ceftazidime • All ESBLs – obvious resistance to cefpodoxime Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Screen Enterobacteriaceae with : Cefpodoxime- best general ESBL substrate Cefotaxime & ceftazidime- good substrates for CTX-M & TEM/SHV, respectively Detection Strategy: step 1 Spread of CTX-M into community means screening must be wider than before See http://www.hpa.org.uk Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Seek ceph/clav synergy in ceph R isolates Double disc Combination disc Etest Detection of ESBLs: step 2 See http://www.hpa.org.uk Dr.T.V.Rao MD
ESBL Confirmatory Tests Double-disk synergy (DDS) test • CAZ and CAZ/CA disks • CTX and CTX\CA disks • Confirmatory testing • requires using both CAZ • and CTX alone and with CA • 5 mm enhancement of the inhibition • zone of antibiotic/CA combination vs antibiotic • tested alone = ESBL Dr.T.V.Rao MD

It follows that the logical indicator is either cefpodoxime or BOTH of cefotaxime and ceftazidime resistance. • An alternative strategy has been proposed for community urines: testing cephalexin or cephradine as the indicator drug, then doing confirmatory ESBL tests on all isolates that are found resistant (these include e.g. all Enterobacter species. and some hyper producers of classical TEM, as well as the ESBL producers). This is not recommended, as some CTX-M-15 producers, Dr.T.V.Rao MD

Quality control in esbl detection Dr.T.V.Rao MD
CONTROLS FOR ESBL TESTS • Positive controls should be used to ensure the performance of ESBL confirmatory tests. Three ESBL-positive E. coli strains are available from the NCTC: • CTX-M-15 (cefotaximase) NCTC 13353 TEM-3 (broad-spectrum) NCTC 13351 TEM-10 (ceftazidimase) NCTC 13352 Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Clsi recommends • The CLSI recommends K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 as an ESBL-producing QC control, as does AB Biodisk (Etest). This strain may be sourced from the ATCC. • Either E. coli NCTC 10418 or ATCC 25922 should also be used as a negative control in ESBL confirmation tests. Use of such controls is especially important when the cephalosporin and cephalosporin + clavulanate combination discs are from different batches, which may vary in original content or retained potency. Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Zone determination guides … • Zones of the cephalosporin and cephalosporin + clavulanate discs for ESBL-negative E. coli should be equal or, at worst, within + 2 mm. Any greater difference implies malfunction or deterioration. Dr.T.V.Rao MD
