Prevalence, molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (2020–2024): a systematic review and meta-analysis of regional and between-study variation
Summary Background Previous reviews of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) focused on specific populations, species or regions, while surveillance platforms omit gene distribution, detection-method variability and species-specific resistance. We synthesised 2020–2024 evidence on ESBL-E pre...
