Colonization with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) Enterobacteriaceae in pregnant/post-partum women: systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsThere was heterogeneity regarding ESBL colonization rates in different continents. The pooled prevalence rate was higher in Africa compared to other areas. Given that the highest rate was observed in African studies, considering implementing screening efforts for ESBL colonization during pregnancy may be justified.
