  • UPL - Universal Pathogen List. These are used as diagnosis subcodes for all infection that we track in our ICU and Medicine Database.
  • Also see: Pathogens (old) for more information & discussion.
For the most up-to-date list of pathogens, see your PDA, Access database (CCMDB.mdb). This is the list as of June 1.09 and for orientation only.

24 - ESBL or MRO (extended spectrum beta-lactamase), MRO (meropenem-resistant organism other than Stenotrophomonas)

Use with Category:Infection (old) if it is causing symptoms but we no longer track VRE, ESBL and MRO Colonization.

coding if both pathogen and ESBL status are known

If both the pathogen name and the ESBL status are know, code the pathogen.

supporting documentation

Question: From: Trish Ostryzniuk Subject: RE: code specific pathogen for an infection or if ESBL then code that?

Example: UTI due to E.Coli which is also ESBL on C&S. No past medical history of ESBL.

What would be the priority to code this type of case:

a. UTI due to E.Coli or

b. UTI due to ESBL

Currently we cannot code both UTI due to E.Coli PLUS UTI due to ESBL .
