Association of Antibiotic Resistance Traits in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) Isolates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health problem which is constantly evolving and varies spatially and temporally. Resistance to a particular antibiotic may serve as a selection and coselection marker for the same or different antibiotic classes. Therefore, this cross-sectional study was conducted to predict the association of phenotypic and genotypic resistance traits in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

Method

A total of 42 UPEC from 83 urine samples were investigated for the prevalence and association of phenotypic and genotypic AMR traits. Antibiogram profiling was carried out by Kirby-Bauer's disc diffusion method and AMR genes (ARGs) were detected by PCR.

Result

UPECs were isolated from 50.60% (42/83) of the samples examined. Of t
