Description
Summary:LRTI patients of >18-years age with symptoms suggestive of LRTI (i.e., two or more of the following symptoms: cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, wheeze, fever during this illness, chest pain), who gave written informed consent for participation and a sputum sample for examination were enrolled for the study. {Table 1} ESBL detection methods for P. aeruginosa are unreliable, and generally low because of mutational derepression of the chromosomally mediated AmpC enzyme, up-regulation of efflux systems and decreased outer membrane permeability.
