What is the icd-9-code for extended spectrum beta lactamase?
Ymurillo
V09.1 Infection with microorganisms resistant to cephalosproins and other B-lactam antibiotics.
V09.1, however, would not be your primary diagnosis code. As it is stated in the ICD-9-CM, Category V09 is intended for use as an additional code for infections conditions classified elsewhere to indicate the presence of a drug-resistance of the infectious organism.
Per Wikipedia:
ESBL, or Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase, are bacteria that produce enzymes that exhibit resistance to extended-spectrum (third generation) Cephalosporins (i.e.Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime, and Ceftriaxone) and Monobactams (i.e.. Aztreonam) but do not affect Cephamycins (eg. Cefoxitin and Cefotetan) or Carbapenems (i.e. Meropenem or Imipenem).
The most common ESBL-producing bacteria are Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Klebsiella oxytoca. You'll need to dig further in the patients chart to see which of these is the culprit, and code that as your primary diagnosis, followed by V09.1.

Is cepodoxime effective against Extended Species Beta Lactamase?
no
What is a beta-lactamase?
A beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by certain bacteria, which is responsible for their resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics.
What does AmpC stand for in the name AmpC beta-lactamase?
Ampicillin class C beta lactamase
What is co amoxilclav an what it is use for?
Co-amoxiclav is an approved British name for the combination antibiotic containing compounds such as amoxicillin trihydrate, a beta-lactam antibiotic, with potassium clavulanate, and a beta-lactamase inhibitor. The combination yields an antibiotic with an increased spectrum of action and restored efficacy against amoxicillin-resistant bacteria that produce beta-lactamase.
Why are penicillins sometimes combined with beta-lactamase inhibitors?
Beta-lactamase inhibitors, protect the penicillin from bacterial enzymes that may destroy it before it can do its work.
What is a role of beta lactamase inhibitor?
Some bacteria produce beta lactamase enzyme, this enzyme will break the beta lactam ring structure of certain antibiotics (penicillin, cephalexin for example) rendering them ineffective against the infection. If you add a beta lactamase inhibitor to a beta lactam antibiotic (i.e clavulanaic acid added to amoxicillin) it decreases the potential of the bacteria to inactivate the antibiotic.
Which chemical inhibits beta lactamase enzymes?
clavulanic acid
Was the ability of some microorganisms to produce beta-lactamase present prior to their exposure to the antibiotic penicillin?

What is the substitute drug for amoxcicillin?
If you are wondering what is the name of a drug that contains amoxicillin - one would be Augmentin. This is made of amoxicillin and clavulanate. Clavulanate is what is referred to as a 'beta lactamase inhibitor' and this allows amoxicillin to be effective against drug-resistant bacteria that produce beta lactamase. Words ending in -ase are generally enzymes that are going to break something down. The penicillin family of antibiotics are called 'beta lactams' due to their structure. Some bacteria have developed beta lactamase in order to break down these antibiotics, thereby becoming a drug-resistant bacteria.
What is Beta-lactamase positive?
Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria can produce beta-lactamases. This type of bacteria takes up the crystal violet stain in gram staining.
What is beta-lactamase?
Beta lactamase is an enzyme, which is produced by some bacteria. This enzyme brakes the beta lactum ring that is present in beta lactum antibiotics. You have four groups in beta-lactum antibiotics. They are penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactums and carbapenems. So you naturally have the enzymes penicillinase, cephalospoinase, monobactamase and carbapenamase. Whether they are one and the same enzyme or four different enzymes is not clear to the contributor and needs comment by expert in this field.
Can co-amoxiclav cure skin rashes?
Co amoxiclav contains amoxycillin (broader spectrum penicillin antibiotic) and clavulanic acid a beta-lactamase inhibitor. The combination is effective in infection caused by beta lactamase producing pathogen such H. influenzea, A. auareus and A. pneuomonea. If amoxicillin is given alone then betalactamse can destroy this drug making it ineffective. The combination has no efficacy against allergic skin rashes, rather penicillin may cause skin rashes. however it may be effctive in the treat of skin infection such as injury, acne etc.
