Gut Microbiome Diversity in Individuals With and Without Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales Carriage: a Matched Case-Control Study

The spread of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) has dramatically increased over the past few decades. Few studies have tried to shed light on the interplay between gut microbial communities and ESBL-E carriage, but the strength of this association remains unclear. The aim of this study was to identify microbiota signatures uniquely correlated with ESBL-E carriage.
