DETECTION OF ESBL-PRODUCING ESCHERICHIA COLI AND KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE IN PATIENT SUFFERING WITH SYMPTOMATIC URINARY TRACT INFECTION IN TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL.
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Aim and objectives: This study is to determine the prevalence of Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in urinary isolates. To compare different phenotypic methods for ESBL detection and to evaluate the antibiotic resistance patterns among ESBL producing urinary Escherichia coli. Methodology: Urinary isolates of E.coli that were resistant to at least one of 3rd generation cephalosporins (cefotaxime, ceftazidime) were screened and tested for ESBL production using the Double disc diffusion test (DDDT), quantitative E-strip method and Automated Vitek-2. Result: A total of 341 Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolates were screened from patients with symptomatic UTI. 207 (60.7%) Escherichia coli, 134 (39.2%) Klebsiella pneumonia. ESBL production was detected in 48.8% and for 161 screening test positive E. coli, ESBL production was detected in 40%.
