Two hundred and thirty-six E. coli isolates n=236 were collected. Antibiotic susceptibility and ESBL production were studied by disc diffusion and DDST (double disk synergy tests) according to Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (CLSI)
and EUCAST for ESBL.
75 (32%)of total isolates demonstrated MDR (multi drug resistance),62 of resistant bacteria (26% of total) were determined as ESBL producers.
In conclusion, we recommend adding this standard, cheap ESBL detection method to the routine microbial susceptibility tests run in Syrian hospitals in order to determine and isolate the sources of MDR infections and do some effort to contain and eliminate those strains.
Ninety urin samples were taken from patients suffering from
urinary tract infection .the purpose was to isolate and identify Ecoli.
After cultural and biochemical diagnosis,[47] isolates had been
obtained with [63.5%] for E-coli out of [74] samples that had
bacterial growth.
120 chicken thighs samples (60 fresh chicken thighs samples - 60
frozen chicken thighs sample) were collected from different
commercial shops in Hama city.
Bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infection were
studied. The study examined 120 urine samples taken from the middle
of the urinary flow of patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection.
