TL;DR: The views of the B-Debate participants regarding the current situation of antimicrobial resistance in animals and the food chain, within the community and the healthcare setting as well as the role of the environment and the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are summarized, providing expert recommendations to tackle the global threat of antimacterial resistance.

TL;DR: The results suggest that both acquisition from a common source and person-to-person transmission might contribute to ESBL dissemination.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ESBLEC is an important cause of nosocomial BSIs and the previous use of oxyimino-β-lactams was the only modifiable risk factor found.

TL;DR: Community and healthcare environments are now significant reservoirs of ESBL-producing and CMY-producing E. coli, and retail meat is a potential source of these organisms.

TL;DR: The three clonal groups investigated accounted for 30% of the multidrug-resistant isolates, which gives evidence of an important clonal component in the emergence of resistances among extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli.
