Prevalence and molecular characterization of extended spectrum betaLactamases-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated in Zakho, Iraq

Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 4

Abstract

Objectives: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli are the most important group of microorganisms responsible for urinary tract infection. A high percentage of uropathogenic E. coli over the world are detected to be ESBLs producers, which is now a problem that limits therapeutic options. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of ESBLs E. coli and O Methods: One hundred and six uropathogenic E. coli isolates were analyzed for their ESBL production by molecular methods. Results:SO results, all E. coliOYOS OOSOYO MMMMO OZO MMOMOMOMOZMO Conclusions: cephalosporins in order to minimize the emergence of ESBLs producing E. coli. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016;6(4): 163-167
