CTX-M extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are emerging worldwide. Fast and reliable detection techniques may become mandatory for implementing proper treatment and infection control measures. Here, a bla(CTX-M)-specific LightCycler real-time PCR (LC-PCR) assay based on hybridization probes was developed.
