Risk Factors for Infection with Extended‐Spectrum and AmpC β‐Lactamase‐Producing Gram‐Negative Rods in Renal Transplantation

Increasing prevalence of infections caused by multi‐resistant gram‐negative enteric bacilli due to synthesis of extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase (ESBL) or to desrepressed chromosomic AmpC β‐lactamase (AmpC) is a major concern in the hospitalized patient population. Renal transplant recipients are espec...
