Abstract:The current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) in 78 drug-resistant clinical isolates (25 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 53 Escherichia coli strains) using phenotypic and molecular methods. The phenotypic method was performed using a double-disk synergy test (DDST), while the genotypic method screened for the blaSHV, blaCTX-M13U, and blaOXA-10 genes using specific primers. The phenotypic results showed that out of 53 tested strains of E. coli, 17 (32.07%) produce… Show more
