- The occurrence of urinary tract infections caused by ESBL producing Escherichia coli is increasing worldwide. To suppress the emergence, it is essential to concerning the ESBL producing E. coli. In this study, ESBL genes were detected by PCR amplification in E. coli strains isolated from UTI patients in Namakkal district, TN. The result revealed that the presence of TEM (56%), CTXM (64%), SHV (40%), and OXA (60%). CTXM were the most prevalent ESBLs among E.coli isolates. In addition, the presence of CTXM subgroups in E. coli isolates was also detected by multiplex PCR. At the same time, antibiotic resistance of test E.coli isolates also conducted during the study period. As the whole, this attempt showed there was the synergism in antibiotic resistance and ESBL producing genes of E. coli isolates.
