IMPROVED DETECTION OF EXTENDED SPECTRUM BETA-LACTAMASE (ESBL)-PRODUCING ESCHERICHIA COLI IN INPUT AND OUTPUT SAMPLES OF GERMAN BIOGAS PLANTS BY A SELECTIVE PRE-ENRICHMENT PROCEDURE.

Improved detection of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli in input and output samples of German biogas plants by a selective pre-enrichment procedure.

The presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli was investigated in input (manure from livestock husbandry) and output samples of six German biogas plants in 2012 (one sampling per biogas plant) and two German biogas plants investigated in an annual cycle four times in 2013/2014.ESBL-producing Escherichia biomat f
