Summary: | Highlights • True community-acquired (CA) ESBL-PE bacteraemia is rare. • CA ESBL-PE bacteraemia identified in only 3.2% of patients. • Major risk factor for community-onset ESBL-PE infection is prior hospital stay ≥5 days in previous year. • Appropriate empirical regimen administered within 24 h in 45% of ESBL-PE bacteraemia patients. • Patients with CA ESBL-PE bacteraemia had a comparable outcome to those without ESBL-PE infection. |
