Abstract
Community-acquired extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing organisms cause life threatening infections, the majority of which are urinary tract infections and bacteremias caused by CTX-M enzyme producing Escherichia coli. Approach to these infections requires great care because their mortality rates are high unless timely and appropriate treatment is started.
