My cousin has Escherichia coli ESBL and is coming to Lebanon to get it cured. Is it contagious? If yes how is it transmitted? And what are the causes?

In case the infection is in the urine, there is nothing to be worried about.
E.Coli ESBL infection is an infection due to the germ called E.Coli but that is resistant to many antibiotics.
This bacteria exists in the stools of all the people. So there is no fear that it could be transmitted to you since you already have this bacteria.
