Infections by ESBL-E appear to be significantly associated with mortality but not septic shock. Available studies investigating bacteraemia and shock as an intermediate outcome of ESBL-E infections are lacking. Future studies investigating the relationship between clinical outcomes and molecular characteristics of resistant strains are further warranted, along with studies investigating this in non-bacteraemic patients.
