Abstract

Highlights: CTX-R Enterobacteriaceae cause frequently infections in community setting. This has important implications for the management of these infections. We studied 2, 989 Enterobacteriaceae community-acquired bacteraemia. 178 (6%) strains were CTX-R (153 E. coli and 25 Klebsiella spp). Related factors with isolating a CTX -R strain are frequent in elderly people.
