| Abstract : One hundred and thirty significant bacteriuria were detected. The study showed higher incidence of UTI in females (73.08%) than males (26.9%). The E. coli isolates which grown on culture of all the 130 urine samples with significant bacteriauria were 60 ( 46.2 %) . The isolates which were resistant to ampicillin and amoxicillin 53(88.3%) . The ability of E. coli isolates to AmpC production were tested; the results have revealed that 23 (43.4%) isolates produce AmpC β-lactamase. PCR amplification results have shown that eighteen E. coli isolates possess AmpC β- lactamase gene. The results in this study showed 8 (44.4%) had blaFOX gene and 7(38.9%) had blaCIT while 5(27.8%) of E. coli isolates had blaDHA and 9(50%) had blaEBC gene. | ||
