ESBL stands for Extended-Spectrum beta-Lactamase. Beta lactamases are enzymes that are produced by many types of bacteria (germs) which make them more resistant to antibiotics and can make the infection harder to treat.
Beta Meaning. Beta measures the fluctuation of a stock or a mutual fund relative to the larger market, which is typically measured by an index such as the S&P; 500. Since the market is the benchmark, the market's beta is always 1. When a stock or a fund has a beta greater than 1, it means the stock is expected to increase by more than the market in up markets and decrease more than the market in down markets. For example, a beta of 1.05 means the stock is expected to rise 5 percent more than the market on a good day or fall 5 percent more than the market on a bad day.
