2020-02-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> ß-lactam and fluoroquinolone antibiotics are frequently prescribed for urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) and extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in E. coli from UTIs in comparison with the E. coli isolates from gut microbiota (fecal flora). <h4>Methods: </h4> A total of 54 E. coli urine isolates and...
