The Epidemiology Of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales In Nebraska, 2018 – 2021, Axel A. Vazquez Deida
Capstone Experience
Background: Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are considered a serious public health threat by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, surveillance of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales is currently limited to select states and the epidemiology of these antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Nebraska is still not well understood.
Objective: To describe the incidence of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales across local health department (LHD)-jurisdictions as well as at the state-level over time and assess population-specific factors associated with infection or colonization with these pathogens in Nebraska.
Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of public health surveillance data reported to the Nebraska Department of …
