According to the HPA [Health Protection Agency], new mutants of the Escherichia coli bacteria are capable of producing an enzyme called extended-spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL). This enzyme serves to strengthen the bacteria's immunity against antibiotics, thus making treatment of ailments caused by such bacteria, like urinary tract infection and blood poisoning, a challenge. 3, record 1, English, - extended%2Dspectrum%20beta%20lactamase
