Assessment of Bla_TEM, Bla_SHV, and Bla_CTX-M genes of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacilli causing urinary tract infections in Khartoum State: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gram-negative bacilli are the most common etiological agents responsible for urinary tract infections. The prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacilli is increasing at a rapid pace globally, which is constraining the available choices for UTI treatment. The objectives of this study are to identify the most common causal organisms of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and to determine their drug resistance patterns.

Materials and methods

This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted at El-Amal Hospital, Bahri Teaching Hospital, and Al-Baraha Hospital, Khartoum State, from March to October 2022. Urine samples from patients suspected to have UTI were collected, and patients with confirmed UTI by laboratory investigations and yielded culture
