Bacterial profile, antimicrobial resistance, and molecular detection of ESBL and quinolone resistance gene of uropathogens causing urinary tract infection in the southeastern part of Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: Humans frequently contract urinary tract infections (UTIs), which can be brought on by uropathogens (UPs) that are multi-drug resistant. Treatment for UTIs brought on by pathogenic UPs that produce extended-spectrum lactamases (ESBLs) is more costly and potentially fatal. As a result, the objective of this study was to use culture, biochemical, and 16S rRNA sequencing to identify and characterize UPs isolated from outpatients in Noakhali, Bangladesh, who had symptoms of UTIs. ESBL gene identification and quinolone resistance gene typing were then performed on the isolates using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Throughout the trial's 8-month duration, 152 (76%) of 200 urine samples were positive for the presence of UPs. The overall number of UPs recovered was 210, with 39 individuals having
