    Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a growing public health concern worldwide. A set of factors affects the reduction of antibiotic resistance, with bacteria often showing intrinsic and extrinsic resistance mechanisms to main drugs. One specific type of antibiotic resistance is the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), a resistance mechanism that has emerged as a significant problem in recent years. ESBL production confers resistance to a wide range of beta-lactam antibiotics, and infections caused by ESBL-producing bacteria are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. There is currently no consensus on the optimal approach to ESBL detection, as many health centers lack the materials necessary for diagnosis through the mentioned methods. Additionally, the performance of these methods can vary depending on the type of ESBL and the bacterial species being tested. Therefore, there is an important need for continuous evaluation and validation of ESBL diagnostic methods to ensure their accuracy and reliability.
