Escherichia coli has become multiresistant by way of production of a variety of β-lactamases.
The prevalence of CTX-M–producing E. coli has reached 60–79% in certain parts of Asia …

Antibiotics have been intensively used over the last decades in human and animal therapy
and livestock, resulting in serious environmental and public health problems, namely due to …

Introduction: β-lactam and fluoroquinolone antibiotics are usually used for the treatment of
urinary tract infections (UTIs). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of …

Abstract Background South-Asia is known as a hub for multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria.
Unfortunately, proper surveillance and documentation of MDR pathogens is lacking in …

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common childhood bacterial
infections and Escherichia coli is the major pathogen. Producing β-lactamase enzymes are …

Background and objectives: Multidrug-resistant E. coli expressing extended-spectrum β-
lactamase pose serious challenges to clinicians for the therapeutic management of clinical …

Objectives: Production of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) by clinical isolates of
pathogenic E. coli is a very serious therapeutic threat. This study was aimed to investigate …

Objective This study aimed to determine the prevalence and assess antimicrobial
susceptibility of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolated from …

Background: Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have emerged as a major threat
worldwide, with limited treatment options available. Objectives: The present study aimed to …

Introduction: Commensal E. coli can be considered a reservoir of genes coding for antibiotic
resistance that may be transmitted in hospitals by healthcare workers (HCWs). This study …
