A "case B" patient is defined as follows: One or more clinical cultures are positive for an ESBL producing bacteria and the organism is piperacillin/tazobactam susceptible.
Additionally, 1 control patient in the hospital at the same time as the case patients will be randomly selected for each case and are not in either case group.
