Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) -- Producing Bacteria Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are chemicals made by certain kinds of germs (bacteria). These germs (or ESBL for short) break down several types of antibiotics (medications that fight infection).So, when a person gets sick because of ESBL, the infection is harder to treat with those antibiotics.ESBL is mainly spread among people in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Infections due to ESBL usually affect the urinary tract and gut (intestine).They can also affect wounds and the blood.hese germs (or ESBL for short) break down several types of antibiotics (medications that fight infection).
