ESBL

I assume most facilities are having discussion about updating their Vitek GN AST cards- we are wondering if anyone has selected or will be selecting a card without the ESBL confirmation test. If you have selected a card without the ESBL confirmation test, how will you identify patients who should be placed in contact precautions due to potential ESBL infection or colonization?

Thank you!
