It is beta-lactamase. This is a type of enzyme that is produced by bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These include Cephalosporinase and Penicillinase. These enzymes destroy Cephalosporins and Penicillins respectively.

ESBL (Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase) is not contagious in the traditional sense, as it refers to a type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria rather than a disease. However, the bacteria that produce ESBL can spread through direct contact with contaminated surfaces, hands, or bodily fluids. Good hygiene practices, such as handwashing, can help prevent its transmission in healthcare settings and the community.
