Extensively drug-resistant ESBL-producing enterobacterales and coexisting antimicrobial resistance genes are associated with mortality in critically ill patients with cancer

Abstract ESBL-producing bacteria are a problem in patients with cancer. The emergence of XDR phenotypes with ESBLs increases mortality. We aimed to evaluate ESBL-producing bacteria, the prevalence of MDR and XDR phenotypes, ESBL genes, and mortality predictors in patients with ca...
