Molecular Characterization of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Among the Pediatric Population in Qatar

IntroductionAlthough extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing Enterobacterales are a public health problem in the Arabian Peninsula, data on the molecular characteristic of their antimicrobial resistance determinants in children is limited.AimTo determine the molecular characteristics of ESBL-...
