Background: Globally, there is a changing trend in the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of
Gram-negative uropathogens to the conventional drugs used in the treatment of urinary tract …

The emergence of resistant strains of urogenital extended spectrum beta-lactamase
producing isolates has presented a serious set back in the treatment option for urogenital …

Background Published data on the existence and magnitude of extended spectrum beta-
lactamase (ESBL) production in urinary pathogens in local setting is limited. The aim of the …

Lactamase (ESBL) producing Gram negative pathogens from urine samples along with their …

Background: The prevalence of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) production
by uropathogenic bacteria have increased overtime raising a global concern in the …

Aims: The present prospective study was done to identify the trends of uropathogens, to find
the prevalence of ESBL isolates and to study the antibiotic resistance profile of the ESBL …

Abstract β-lactams are the most widely used group of antimicrobials. However, increasing
resistance to these valuable drugs in uropathogens, mediated principally by β-lactamases …

OBJECTIVE: Production of β-lactamase by pathogens causing urinary tract infection (UTI)
has been demonstrated to increase resistance to antimicrobial agents. The current study …
