A Deconsolution for disinfection of highly resistant strains of E. coli that have emerged including O157:H7 and ESBL (Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamases). Since 2003, new highly resistant strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli have become widespread. These strains of E. coli are able to destroy a large number of common antibiotics, making the infections they cause very difficult to treat. The bacteria produce enzymes called extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) that destroy, and confer resistance to, antibiotics. ESBL-producing microbes are not new, having first been recognized in the 1980s. But the new strains produce a particular type of ESBL, the CTX-M type, which is able to break down a wider range of antibiotics. Further, recent outbreaks in agricultural products have been directly linked to E. coli O157:H7 strain, a more difficult strain to deactivate and kill.
