EXTENDED-SPECTRUM BETA-LACTAMASES AND THEIR ROLE IN FORMATION OF ANTIBIOTICS RESISTANCE IN ETIOLOGIC AGENTS OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

Abstract

The production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) is the one of the most widespread and clinically significant mechanism of resistance to modern β-lactams in the members of Enterobacteriaceae family. The aim of this review is to describe the ESBL of various groups (ТЕМ, SHV, OXA, CTX-M). The article gives the consideration of the data on spreading the ESBL in the etiologic agents of urinary tract infections and methods of their detection.
