7. Spread of ESBL Infections

ESBL infections commonly spread through direct contact with an infected person's bodily fluids, particularly wound drainage, blood, phlegm, urine, or stool. Contact with surfaces that are contaminated with the germ can spread ESBL infections, too, but casual contact, like hugging or holding hands, cannot.
