There are a lot of Staphylococcus spp betalactamase producer. So, can we name them ESBL? Why not why yes?
The terminology ESBL is commonly used with Enterobactericeae and other gram negative organisms that produce the enzyme so perhaps the prefix of "gram positive" in this case would be beneficial.
I think you cannot generalize such case and use your own way of naming while your question sometimes depend on the case by case basis.
If a Gram-positive bacterium acquired an ESBL gene (possible through broad host range plasmids), it would be an ESBL producer.
I am agree with you and thanks for your comment
. I think it is possible to identify them by DDST too,what is you idea?
Thats right and no mention to 3th generation in CLSI was recommended but there are some documents like Medscape wrote ceftazidime as an effective agent agaist S. aureus. So, it seems empirically they are using.
Mam I donot have the idea that they are using it. But I have not seen such papers. If so also it has noticed, then sequence must be studied and then only it can be included. we cannot confuse by our own term. Authentic data must be there and it has to go by many procedure before naming
