Author(s): Khamael Arif Mahdi Al-challabi, Wurood Kadhim Abed and Ali Razzaq Hussein*
Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are quite possibly of the most widely recognized bacterial problems around the world, affecting many individuals in both sex, especially women, so UTI is related to Urogynecology. The most common bacteria that causes UTIs is uropathogenic E. coli. Although Third Generation Cephalosporins (3GCs) have proven to be efficacious in treating UTIs, there is a rise in antibiotic resistance presents a serious risk to public health.
Aim: The reason of this work is to determine which genes make E. coli resistant to 3GCs.
Methods: One hundred urine samples were gathered from hospitalized patients and outpatients who had Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) visiting Balad general hospital, Saladin governorate, from November 2023 until March 2024, the specimens were .. Read More»
