Detection of E. coli in Different Body Samples and Its Sensitivity to Antibiotics


Abstract in English

204 samples were collected from various body samples during the year 2016. These 204 samples distributed as follows: 133 from urine , 37 swabs of wounds and burns, 10 swabs from the ear and pharynx, 12 from feces, 8 from CSF, 4 from blood. This study distinctly showed that gram negative bacilli were the most isolates 136 (67%) while 68 isolates (33%) were gram positive bacteria . E. coli dominated (39.68%) of the total gram negative bacilli. This study distinctly showed an increase in the ratio of E. coli resistance to one or more types of antibiotics , we found that E. coli resistance to all antibiotics except specific and expensive antibiotics, and we found that its complete resistance to the second ,third and fourth generation of cephalosporins , resistance to specific and antibiotics such as Imipenem.
