Molecular characterisation of extendedspectrum ß-lactamase producing Escherichia coli in wild birds and cattle, Ibadan, Nigeria

Many Enterobacteriaceae cannot be treated anymore with third generation cephalosporins (3GC) due to the production of certain 3GC hydrolysing enzymes (extended spectrum beta-lactamases, ESBLs).
