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 3, English, - extended%2Dspectrum%20beta%20lactamase

Additional bacteria, for example Klebsiella and Escherichia coli, have developed the ability to resist antibiotics. These are extended-spectrum beta lactamase-producing bacteria (ESBL-producing bacteria), and strains of these bacteria which are resistant to quinolones (e.g. ciprofloxacin); a small proportion of these strains are multi-drug resistant. 3, record 4, English, - extended%2Dspectrum%20beta%2Dlactamase%2Dproducing%20bacterium
