| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this work was to analyze the current of IRT β-lactamases in uropathogenic Escherichia coli. Isolates were prospectively collected in our hospital (2013 and 2014) from urine of hospitalized patients (100%). From a total of 60 E. coli isolates recovered during the study period, 22 showed reduced susceptibility to Beta lactam Beta lactamase inhibitor (BLBLI) combination antibiotics, with 17 of them producing IRT enzymes. These were mostly recovered from urine (100%). A high degree of IRT was detected (TEM-2, CTX-M, bla-SHV, SHV-2, TEM-1,OXA-1, and AMPC). The results of this study are recorded for the first time in Iraq. | ||
